VALUABLE TESTIMONY.

- WORCESTER, MASS.
Mr.. ID. HowARD-Dear 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. was 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 a 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
1t being highly recommended, she concluded as a
last resort 10 give trial which she did with the
most beneficials 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 satisact.
tory character. j have procured hundreds of bot
ties for my friends and neighbors and as far as NV
knowledge extends 1t has given general satisfaction
take great pleasure in recommending it TO the pub
lie as an invaluable remedy for the diseases for which
il is recommended.

Within your breast a living hearty

Behold, he meets you in the street,

He filings himself beneath your feet.

Beware the foe with whom you DEAL

His lies are worse than cutting steel.

You're not exempt whic war endures;
