Wishing to perform duty which consider due 10
the afflicted. well as act of justice 10 the pre-
prietor Of the medicine named below. take this
method TO give publicity to the following: NV wife
has been dreadfuy afflicted for years with canker in
the mouth throat and stomach, which at times made
its appearance upon the surface of the stomach,
breast. side and one arm. rendering the parts
completely raw. and producing distress that brought
her nigh unto death.
Some time since, being confined, she greatly
reduced in consequence of the settling of the humor
in her breast producing no less than five ulcers at
time, combining her to her bed for fifteen weeks,
and leaving her in very bad and almost hopeless
condition, which baffed every means used for her
benefit till some time in August last, when How
ards Cancer and Canker Syrup" was brought to
our notice in that induced us TO give il a
trial, which did with the most astonishing and
gratifying results. After using bottles of the
Syrup all signs of the humor disappeared, and her
health is now good, condition TO which she has
been a stranger for many years j cannot command
language TO express the happiness that this most
cellent medicine has brought to family but. as
some slight return for the benefit l have received.
make this public statement of the case, entirely of
my own acc I'd without solicitation from any one.
Should any person interested wish TO consult eith-

Mr.. ID. HowARD-Dedr Sir:-You wish TO know
what information possess in relation TO the efficacy
of your CANCER AND CANKER SYRUP. Several
years since my wife, being confined, severely
troubled with what is usually called Nursing Sore
Mouth" and what the physicians call milk limb .
Both legs were badly swollen, and were in dread
full state. Everything that could be thought of was
resorted to without any benefit. Her physicians
pronounced her recovery very doubtful, If not i'm
possible. AT this time, hearing of your SYRUP, and
Il being highly recommended, she concluded, az a
last resort, TO give II trial. which she did with the
most benefcials results. Shortly after she com.
menced taking it, her health began TO improve and
the use of few bottles completely cured her. And
although she has been twice confined since she has
been perfectly free from the trouble above named.
have also seen its effects in great many out
of my family which have been of the most satisact-
tory character. ! have procured hundreds of bot.
ties for my friends and neighbors, and far my
