My Dear DR.. Mortimorc. Baiey's Springs,
Ala.:-I feel it to be my duty, rs well rs my
privilege and pleasure, to give you this tc>tIno-
Mai of my high appreciation Of your skill a. "A
phv stefan. and your integrity aS a man. Having
experienced great advantage from your treat
ment both prior to and since my recent lnju-
rieS, | have reason to know of what l write.
| have also been cognzant 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 ofan forms OF chronic DTS
ease | am sure YOU have few equals, and no SUI
periOrs. | may say that have seen your skill
tested in some severe chronic cases OF rheulna-
tism. and protracted and extreme cases Of te-
male diseases, and always with hOnorto 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
than human. But / do say that should you
make the effort and fail 10 cure, others need not
try.
During my own extreme suffering from the
terrible fracture Of my leg, ! found you the
kind friend, the sldlltul physician, and the
courteous gentleman.
As your profession often calls you away from
home among strangers. it is but justice to you
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 uneXceptOnable. but has
been that ola refined Christian gentleman.
Your grateful friend, r. H. RIVERS.

DIR. u. Mortmore-AIy Dear Sir Learning
that you design visiting various cities i'm the
South during the present winter | deem 1t
duty which | owe to you, and the afflicted, as
well rs high privilege TO myself, to add my
testimony to that of other men whom gratitude
has compelle to speak so highly of your ability
A. 4 MUSICIAN, and your virtues a. social;
Christian gentleman.
|. having charge OF greatly afflicted wife,
met you last summer at Bailey's Springs, Ala,
where you We're called to treat many extreme
cases of chronic disease. | 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, bad failed to give
relief, and that my own mother had recently
died Of the same malady, and hearing 80 many
of the visitors there speak in the strongest terms
in behalf of your unequaled success in the
treatment of EemCle Diseases, | was induced
10 employ you i'll her behalf. The result was
that you almost instantly relieved her extreme
suffering, and wilhin two months restored her
to perfect health. And by 50 doing, have placed
me under obligations which can never repay
but which, thank God, | 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.
AFFLICrIoN-CHR DIsEAsE-The read
ers of the Advocate viii see by notice in to-
days paper that DIR. Mortimore has arrived in
our city. We have often referred to the emil
nent success of DR.. NJ, who makes his annual
visit to our city, in curing chronic diseases
This, however. seems scarcely necessary now
as he is so universally and favorably known
throughout the South. But referring to his
notice in our columns we find the highest pos
sible testimonial from Rev DIR. 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 DR.. Morti-
more's professional skill.-New Orleans Chris
tlan Advocate, Jan ,, 1861.
The following Is from Prof. r. d. Redus. for
merry professor Of the - College. fernando
Miss, now citizen Of Memphis:
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Feb. /. 1866.
Eds. Appeal feel it due to the afflicted
and at the same time. pleasure, to say "A few
words through the columns Of your widely cir
culated paper in reference to Dr. Mortimore's
treatment Of my wife's case. DIR. VI. 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
Tor more than siX months, and had been a con-
hrmed invalid for more than eight wears But
by skillful treatment of DR.. NJ. | am now happy
to say she is able to walk all over the city, and
81 more nesby than she has ever been in her
life. When DIR. NJ. first saw her, she was
mere skeleton, not weighing so much a. eighty
pounds, but now 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
timOre. and if he cannot cure you, no one else
can If he says he can, you may rely on him.
To saw he can cure all and every one who may
apply 10 him, would make him superhuman:
but all that man can do, lie can. Hoping the
Great Dispenser of all good may bless the eff
forts of this Christian Physician, am his CRATE
fulffriend, ROBT. d. REDUS.
p. 81 see in your columns that DIR. Payne,
late of Mississippi, is associated with DIR. NJ.
DIR. T. enjoys a fine reputation as a Physician.
He Is quite an accession to our city. X. ID. r.

der date February 8, 1865:
DIR. Mortimore, Memphis, Tenn.-Dear sir:
Can you not come here this season: There are
a number Of my friends who desire to consult
you. You know that your past success in
treating disease here, won you a host OF friends
among the first class of society. True, many
are gone from here whom you knew, yet many
still remain. Your treatment of my case which,
all Physicians pronounced confirmed tubercu-
lar consumption and my. complete recovery
TO perfect health, placed you among my friends
and acquaintance, and believe also, with
some members of the faculty, as the ablest Ply
stefan of our country in treating this disease
Others are still here whom you cured of this
disease, and all will give yqantheir influence.
