Afforded TO Others by your treatment and RENE

health.
In the treatment ofall form, of Chronic Dis

TO say that YOU can cure ali cases of disease

try.
During my own extreme suffering from the
terrible fracture of my LEG, / found Won the
kind friend, the Skillml physician, and the
courteous gentleman.
A. your profession often calls YOU away from
home among strangers, il is hut Justice To YOU

course, during which time you have been a
constant visitor atmy house, your department
has not only been uneXceptiOnable, hut Ia,
been that of a refined Christian gentleman.

DR. d. Mortmore-My Dear Sir Learning
that you design visiting various cities in the
south during the present winter, | deem il 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 ITO speak so highly of your ability
as physician, and your virtues a. a social.
Christian gentleman.
l, having charge OF a greatly afflicted wife.
met you last summer at Bailey's Springs Ala.
where you were called to treat many extreme
cases of chronic disease. | was little iii SpoSed
TO tamper with the life OF NV wife bV 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 FemCle 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, | shall never feel il a
burthen to bear.
Mrs. ID. joins me in this expression of graft
tube, and YOU may number us both with your
warmest advocates.
Very truly yours,
IL. NJ. BILLIARD, Principal.
AFFLICTIoN--C CHRONIC DIsFAsF-The read
ers of the Advocate will see by notice i'm TO-
days paper that DIR. Mortimore has arrived in
our city. We have often referred 10 the emi
nent success Of DIR. NJ, who makes his annual
VISIT to our city, in curing chronic diseases.
rms, however, seems scarcely necessary now
as he Is so universally and favorably known
throughout the South. But referring to his
notlceln our columns we find the highest pos
sible testimonial from Rev. DIR. Rivers, Presi-
dent OF Wesleyan University, Florence, Ala
man than whom none other is more generally
known and beloved. This, together with the
otner testimonials presented, we think should
convince the most incredulous of Dr. Morti-
more's professional skill.-New Orleans Chris.
tan Advocate, Jan ., 1861.
The following is from Prof. r. d. Redus, for
merly professor of the - College Hernandez
Miss, now citizen of Memphis
MEMPHIS, TENN, Feb. /, 1866.
Eds Appeal feel it due to the afflicted
and at the same time, a pleasure to say a few
words through the columns of your widely cir
culated paper in reference to DIR. Mortimore's
treatment OF my Wite'S case. DIR. NJ first pre-
scrlbed 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
Ior more IMAM SIX Dlonths, and had been a con-
hrmed invalid for more than eight years. But
by skillful treatment of DIR. M / am now hannv
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. M. first saw her, She was a
mere skeleton, not weighing so much as eighty
pounds, but now one hundred and five ponnds
we Doth together, with our friends, shall ever
feel grateful for the eminent skill possessed by
our benefactor. "
M
we would say TO the afflicted, go to DIR. Nor
uhore anu If he cannot cure You, no one else
Nh Tu II ne says he can, you may rely ON him.
10 say ne can cure all and every one who may
apply to him, would make him superhuman;
Dut al that man can do, he can. Hoping the
Treat dispenser of all good may bless the eff
lorts OF this Christian Physician, am his CRATE
fulfriend, ROBT ID. REDUS.
p. ST. see in your columns that DIR. Payne
late Of Mississippi, is associated with DIR. NJ
DR.. p. enjoys fine reputation as a Physician
tie is quite an accession to our city. R. D. r.
