DR.. PoLAND-I feet it my duty TO inform you of

The editor of the Manchester Daily and Weekly
Mirror in leader Of the Daily, thus speaks Of the
Compounds: -
"The White Pine Compound is advertised at much
length in our co umns, and are happy to learn
that the demand for it is increasing beyond all previ-
GUS expectations. 1t is the very best medicine for
coughs and colds know of, and no family that has
once used it will ever be without it, We speak from
own knowledge, it is sure to kill cold, and
ant as sure. The greatest inventions come by acct
deut and it is singular that the Viii Pine Com
pound made for Colds and Coughs, should prove to
be the greatest remedy for kidney difficulties known.
But so It is. We cannot doubt it, so many testimo
mails come te us from well known men. Besides, the
character of DIR. Pc and is such that know he will
not countenance what is wrong. For years o Bap-
fist clergyman, studying medicine to find remedies
for hs ailments, with delicate comsumptive look,
standing with foot upon the grave, he made the
discovery which has saved him elf and ca, ed out
from hundreds of others the strongest testimonials
never knew more conscientious, honest upright
man. and we are glad to state that we believe what
ever he says about his White Pine Compound.
