DR.. RosAcK-Dear Sir: l have read in tho
newspapers many accounts of cures effected By
your Scandavian Remedies, but | consider my
own case at least rs interesting and as marvel
ous 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 fsllow creatures,
desire to make known the facts When called
upon you, at tho instance Of dear friend, on
the 21st Of March last, had been nine yssrs =
sufferer from catarrh. The irritation OF the
nerves and membrane of the head was so in
tense that sometimes it almost drove me crazy.
could not sleep, and was never frea from un-
pleasant sensations. At various times fvs
different physicians had attended ne, each one
treated me in his swn way, but none Of them
did me any good. l dsspaired of ever seeing
another well day, and when l called at your
consultation rooms hsd very little hope of re-
lief By your advise, l entered Immediately
upon q regular course Of your Scandinavian
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. was encour-
aged by the cheerful, hopeful way in which
you spoke, and 1 resolved strictly to follow
your direction. In less than week, all the
worst symptoms Of my complaint began to
take milder form, and so continued to i'm
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, l continued to take the rsme-
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 relapse. l should be glad to
see this letter, the substance of it, in print,
for the guidance of others.
Yours, with heartfelt gratitude,
Mrs AUGUSTUS COOCH.
