HAMILTON, Ohio, Nov. 10, 1855,

DIR. RoBAcK-Dear Sir: have read in the
newspapers many accounts of cures effected by
your Scandavian Remedies, but consider my
own case at least as interesting and as marvel
GUS as any of them. So far as you are con-
cerned, one testimonial more or less is Of little
consequence. Your fame is established and
my statement cannot add to your celebrity.
But for the benefit of my fellow creatures, |
desire to make known the facts. When called
upon you, at the instance Of a dear friend, on
the 21st of March last, had been nine years .
sufferer from catarrh. The irritation Of tho
nerves and membrane Of the head was so in
tense that sometimes it almost drove me crazy.
could not sleep, and was never free from un-
pleasant sensations. At various times five
different physicians had attended me, each one
treated me in his own way, but none Of them
did me any good. l despaired of ever seeing
another well day, and when called at your
consultation rooms, had very little hope of re-
lief. By your advise, entered immediately
upon a regular course of your Scandinavian
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. Twas encour-
aged by the cheerful, hopeful way in which
you spoke, and 1 resolved strictly to follow
your direction. In less than a week, all the
worst symptoms of my complaint began to
take milder form, and so continued to inn
prove from week to week until, at the end of
three months, my head was entirely relieved,
and every trace Of the catarrh had left me.
STILL however, I continued to take the reme-
dies for nearly six weeks longer, because !
found they were building up my strength and
fort;fying my constitution. Six months have
passed since the cure was finished, and have
had no sign of a relapse. should be glad to
see this letter, or the substance of it, in print,
for the guidance of others.
Yours, with heartfelt gratitude,
Mrs. AUGUSTUS COOCH.
