and knew that he at least could not cure me, and
as was then going on. death must soon count me
as one of its victims. This physician then tod
me that my case was incurable; that had better
not take any more medicines. He said was in
decline which was fast tending to pulmonary con-
sumption

saw that unless something was done to mitigate
the complaint that | should be numbered with the
dead or what is worse, be a ravng maniac. Hap
pening to see one Of your books, the Pocket A1s-
culapius, made up my mind at once to call and
consult you with the determination of trying
once more to get relief if you would undertake
the case. Oh, how thankful am for that deter

prescribed by you and | am now, through their
healing powers restored to perfect health. shall
not fail to recommend you to any of my friends
that require assistance, for man that can cure
