was removed to the house, where it was
kept for several days. A report got into

DR.. PoLAND:-1 feet it my duty to inform you OF
the very 81 benefit which have received from the
use of your White Pine Compound. In August, 1861,
took very severe cod which continued to atiiict
me, increasing in severity attended with very Sc
we're cough, night sweats and some eeding, proba-
bly, from the throat. Through the fall and Water my
cough was very distressing, reducing My flesh and
strength, and rendering me unit for labor. tried
medicines of various kinds, but none of them, how
ever valuable, gave me any relief. In March, 1862,
as you NAV remember, wrote to you stating my dit
ciulties and asking advice. You sent of the
White Pine Compound. 1commenced taking it, and
Immediately began to amend. AT the time OF writ
ing to you my weight was only LBS pounds. In five
weeks was out in active abor, and in few months
gained up to l65 pounds. kno,U that it was the
Whie Pine Compound which did all this for me. i
soon began to have persons apply to me for the med
cine and you know, ordered it for sae In eight
months, though without much exertion, disposed of
$40 bottles of the Compound here on the Cape.
4. would add that several persons OF my acquaint
ance, whose condition was as hopeless us my own,
have been cured by the White Pine Compound.
The W hte Fine compound advertised at length in
our columns, is not only to its name inviting, but
highly approvedm medicine, Dr.J ~. Poland, the
inven or, has the confidence of he many who know
him, confidence which he enjoyed while laboring
usefuly many years Baptist minister. Ills expe-
rience as sufferer led hlm to make experiments
which issued in his medical discovery. [Bostou
The editor Of the Manchester Daily and Weekly
Mirror. in leader Of the Daily, thus speaks Of the
Compounds: |fs
length in our umns, and we are happy to learn
that the demand for it is increasing all prev-
Gus expectations. 1t is the very best medicine for
coughs and colds we know Of, and family that has
once used il will ever be without it. We speak from
our own know edge, it is sure to kill cold and cas-
ant as sure. The greatest inventions come by acci-
deut, and it is singular that the Viii iine Com
pound, made for Colds and Coughs, should prove to
lie the greatest remedy for kidney difficulties known.
But so It is. We cannot doubt it, so many testimos
malls come te us from well known men. Besides, the
charae of Dr. and is such that we know he will
not countenance what is wrong. For years a Bap-
fist clergyman, studying medicine to find remedies
for his ailments, with delicate comsumptive look,
standing with one foot upon the grave, he made the
discovery which has saved him elf and ca! ed out
from hundreds of others the strongest testimonials
possible. We have know DR.. Poa Id for years, and
never knew q more conscientious, honest, upright
man. and we are glad to state that we believe what
ever he says about his White Pine Compound.

but was nevertheless entirely cured by preparation
made by his own hands from this bark. Since that

have been surprised thai no phi Osophical mind was
found to undertake cough preparation from white
