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 was greatly
reduced In consequence of the settling of the humor
in her breast producing no less than i've ulcers at
one time combining her 10 her bed for fifteen weeks.
and leaving her in a very bad and almost hopeless
condition, which bafiied every means used for her
benefit till some time in August last. when How
ards Cancer and Canker Syrup" was brought 10
our notice in amanner that induced to give II q
trial, which we 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 n stranger for many years. cannot command
language to express the happiness that this most ex
celent medicine has brought to my family, but, as
some slight return for the benefit have received,
make this public statement of the case, entirely OF

the battlefield although the general COM
manding might not be of their particular

it would not so degrade in the eyes of man
