Ny Dear DIR. Mortimore, Bailey's Springs,
Ala.:-I feel it to be my duty, as well as my
privilege and pleasure, to give you this testimO-
NAL of my high appreciation Of your skill as a
physician, and your integrity a man. Having
experienced great advantage from your treat
ment both prior TO and since my recent inju-
ries, have reason to know Of what write.
have also been cOgnizant of the great relief
afforded to others by your treatment and RENE
dies. have seen those who had been long and
severely afflicted, rejoicing with returning
health.
In the treatment of all forms of Chronic Dis
ease am sure you have few equals, and no su-
periors. | may say that have seen your skill
tested in some severe chronic cases of rheuma-
tsm, and protracted and extreme cases of fe-
male diseases, and always with honor TO your
self and benefit to the sufferer.
To say that you can cure all cases of disease
that flesh is heir to, would be to make You more
make ulo effort and fail TO cure, others need not
try.
During my own extreme suffering from the
terrible fracture of my leg, L found YOU the
kind friend, the skftlful physician, and the
courteous gentleman.
As your profession often calls you away from
home among strangers, it is but Justice to Won
TO say that during weeks of frequent inter
course, during which time you have been
constant visitor atmy house, your department
has not only been uneXceptionable, but has
been that of refined Christian gentleman.
Your grateful friend, r. ii. RIVERS.

DR.. d. MortimOre-My Dear Sir Learning
that you design visiting various cities in the
South during the present winter, L deem it a
duty which owe to you, and the afflicted, as
well as high privilege to myself, to add my
testimony to that of other men whom gratitude
has compelle to speak so highly of your ability
as physician, and your virtues as a social;
Christian gentleman.
|, having charge OF greatly afflicted WIFE
met you last summer at Bailey's Springs, Ala,
where you were called to treat many extreme
cases of chronic disease. l was little disposed
to tamper with the life of my wife by subject
ing her to the medical treatment of a stranger;
but in her dire extremity, knowing that the
best efforts of other eminent physicians as also
the use OF mineral waters, had failed to give
relief, and that my own mother had recently
died of the same malady, and hearing so many
of the visitors there speak in the strongest terms
in behalf of your unequalled success in the
treatment of FenaGle Diseases. / was induced
to employ you in her behalf The result was
that you almost instantly relieved her extreme
suffering, and within two months restored her
TO perfect health. And by so doing, have placed
me under obligations which can never repay,
but which, thank God l shall never feel it
burthen to bear.
Mrs. D. joins me in this expression of graft
tude, and you may number us both with your
warmest advocates.
Very truly yours,
II. NJ. DILLARD, Principal.
AFFLICTION-CHRONIC DISEASE-The read
ers Of the Advocate will see bv notice in to-
days paper that DR.. Mortimore has arrived in
our city. We have often referred to the emf
nent success of DIR. NJ, who makes his annual
visit to our city, in curing chronic diseases
Ihs, however, seems scarcely necessary now,
as he is so universally and favorably known
throughout the South. But referring to his
notice in columns ind fho hffrbo
slble testimonial from Rev. Dr. Rivers, Presi-
dent of Wesleyan University, Florence, Ala a
man than whom none other is more generally
known and beloved. This together with the
other testimonials presented, we think should
convince the most incredulous of DIR. MOrti-
more's professional skill.-New Orleans Chris.

culated paper in reference to DR.. Mortimore's
treatment of my wife's case DIR. M. first pre-
scribed for her in September last He found
her at the crisis of a complication of chronic
diseases, and that crisis about to turn against
her. She had not been able go out of the house
for more than six months, and had been a con-
firmed invalid for more than eight years. But
by skillful treatment of DR.. NJ, am now happy
to say she is able to walk all over the city, and
81 more fieshy than she has ever been in her
life. When DIR. NJ. first saw her, she was a
mere skeleton, not weighing so much as eighty
pounds, buAnow one hundred and five pounds.
We both together, with our friends, shall ever
feel grateful for the eminent skill possessed by
our benefactor.
We would say to the afflicted, go to DIR. Nor
umore, and if he cannot cure you, no one else
can. If he says he can, you may rely on him
To say he can cure all and every one-who NAV
apply to him, would make him superhuman'.
but all that man can do, he can. Hoping the
