This is to certify that some weeks back I 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. H. Worthington had
prepared a remedy for Cholera, &C., and was advi-
sed to use it. l did so, and to my establishment,
one single dose gave speedy and permanent relief,
since which time have used it frequently in my
family and, In justice to the Doctor, say I consider
II much the most valuable medicine / have used in
an experience of twenty years.
