This is to certify that some weeks back | was
taken with a violent Diarreea, which persisted for
eight days. Being some sixty miles from home,
I made use ofall the remedies 1 could think of, but
without ~afording any relief. On arriving at home,
I was informed that DR.. r. III. Worthington had
prepared a remedy for Cholera, &C., and was advi-
sed to use it. I did so, and to my establishment,
one single dose gave speedy and permanent relief,

it much the most valuable medicine / have used in
an experience Of twenty Years.
