DR.. Roback.s Success.

We have always been inclined to receive
withioubt the accounts of wonderful cures in
desperate cases, with which the proprietors of
patent medicines are accustomed to garnish
their advertisements, but the effects produced
by the Scandinavian Remedies of this distin-
guished Swede are SO notorious, and amply
verified by direct personal testimony, as to put
doubt and suspicion. out of the question. The
cures, as reported by the patients themselves,
comprehend nervous complaints, dyspepsia,
bilious disorders, fits, rheumatism, and almost
every species of disease affecting the stomach,
the skin, and the organs Of respiration. Tn
der these circumstances we can have no objcc-
ton in giving such important facts publicity in
our columns. Hamlet says, There is more
in Heaven and earth than is dreaIned of in
your philosophy" and every day convinces US
that the science of medicine is not the exclu-
sive property. of athe faculty. DIR. Roback
has acquired fame and fortune by his success
full treatment of disease, and his Blood Purifier
and Blood Pills are in general demand. See
Advertisement.

HAMILTON, Ohio, Nov. 10, 1855.


DR. RoBAcK-Dear Sir: I 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 cop-
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 dear friend, on
the 21st of March last, 1 had been nine years a
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 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 dsspaired of ever seeing
another well day, and when called at your
consultation rooms, had very little hope of re-
lief By your advise, I entered Immediately
upon regular course of your Scandinavian
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. was encour-
aged by the cheerful, hopeful way in which
you spoke, aud l 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, 1 continued to take the rsme-
dies for nearly six weeks longer, because ]
found they were building up my strength and
fortifying my constitution. Six months have
passed since the cure was finished, and have
had no sign of a relapse. l 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.

Henrietta Wright of Newburg, New

years and half from Termination ofblood
to the head. SO bad at times that she would
fall down in crossing room as if dead. -.
She consulted three different physicians
and studiously followed their advice,
which however failed to benefit her, and
her dissolution was hourly expected. At
this time she tried Holloway's Pills which
quickly did their work, by removing from
.he system of the noxions matter, carry
ing off the bad fluids, and left her in the
enjoyment of perfect health, yet all this
has been effected by Hollowsy's Pills.
