tlnony to its ecigoratRg blood restorative Uirfups
/ have been, for number of years. severely
troubled with eyspeIas and general debility: but
since l put myself under the influence Of your
Improved Blood Searcher, I find very decided
improv ement. Indeed, my acquaintances fire.
quenhy remark. that look so fat and hearty %
and know of no other cause than the use of vour
Improved blood Searcher. Judging from nv own
experience. believe this is one of the most val
liable medicines that woman can use. especially
those who are or have entered upon the decline
of life (from 40 to so years of age) | feel that
it would have been above ingratitude on my part
to have withheld this testimony and in thus con-
senting to appear rs a witness before the public
| have been actuated solely with reference to the
voice of conscience and duty. You are at lber.
ty to make whatever use yon may deem proper
of this statement.

The Wonder Of the Age

I NJ. LINDSEY'S GREAT MEDICAL DIS
cE 9 C0NERY! Which is purely regeta5te
PREPARATION for the purifying of the blood, Civ
ing vigor to the Liver, tomach and bowels, and
expeiiing from the system all morbid matter, and
substituting in its stead healthful activity thro'
all the functions of life.
HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED.
In the fall of 1854, a daughter of Mr. Lindsey
was suffering from malignant attack of Can
crum Oris {Cauker of the mouth) She had pre-
vious!y been prostra ed by the attacks of Dys-
entary, Inflammation of the Lungs and Hectic Fe-
YER. successfully, hich resulted in the above ma
med disease III its worst form. Her condition
was most deplor3.ble-her mouth and cheek were
literally rotten-the attending physician pro-
bounced the case hopeless enc. Everything in
aicated spe edy and horrible death-a death of
rottng out of life! At this critical uncture, Mr.
Lindsey prepared a compound for the purpose Of
allcviatinG, possible, the pains of the little suffer-
er. She was made to use it freely, and in a short
time, 20 his most delightful astonishment, there
was very perceptibo change for the better
The mouth began to put on bright and healthy
appearance-the foul breath became sweet-the
appetite restored, and the child seemed to
partlke Of a new and fresh life.
Hope inspired, and the of the COM
pound was faithfully continued, the result Of
which, with the blessing of God, was her oOm-
plete restoration. She is now perfectly healthy
From this circumstance Mr.. Lindsey led to
prepare with greater care and cXactness, what
had so astonishly cured his child and continued
his experimental efforts until he succeeded in
bringing to perfection his Great Remedy for
Blood Hnpuity-since which time its effects have
been almost miraculous. Hundreds upon hund-
reds, by it, have been snatchcd from an untime-
" grave aud restorcdsto the sweets Of health and
the endearments OF friends The young and old
have tested its saving powers and sing aloud its
! virtues. Say they-'after using Lindsey's In
! proved Blood Searcher, felt as if life
/ was stirring our veins, and under God we owe to
! it more than words can express.
But hear from their lips and then Judge
of its valuable effects. The few testimonials that
follow show that it is deservedly styled the Great
est Discovery Of this or any other age.
