Gents. IL Gm hardly nblo TO ex-
press my gratitude FOR the benefit which my
laughter has derived from the use OF DR.,
Eott's Liver Pills. She had been troubled
With what the physician called Liver Com
slant; but our doctor failed to give her any
permanent relief, although she tried his pre-
scriptions cHectually. She had become mel
aucholy, unhappy, and her constitution was
much broken Down by the use OF Mercury.
She tried DR., Mott's Liver Pills, and soon
began to get better. am happy TO say tha'
W. has now entirely recovered her health.
Respectfully yours,

We arc decidedly opposed to drugs and to advertised
remedies for the prevention Of having children, but We

A fact has come to our knowledge that Onght TO be pro-

ladies whose delicate health makes it necessary TO prevent
any increase Of family.
About twelve months after marriage, q lady OF our a.
quaintance gave birth to n daughter, but her suIe-:ngs
were so great that her physicians dcspaired Of her recovery.
This made her dread the very thoughts Of ngain becoming
a mother. She triol every thing to prevent u repetition
Of her suiIerings, but without succeeding. Two years after
marriage she was again confined, but her suiierings were
SO great that the child died, and her own life was ~despaircd
