Important Certificate.
Communicated by a Physician


Some months ago was called to attend \ lady
of Williamsburg, \. Y, who had long been suffer
ing from uterine disase. Its presence was mark
ed by contant vaginal discharge, sametimes of a
niue o -purulent. She had been under other treat
mcnt for some time, ,but constantly grew worse.-
Vaginal examination disclosed extensive ndura-
tion and liberation of the cervix uteri. The utter
inc iniiam alton, which was evidently assuming u
chronic form. was also aggravated by long stand
ing constipation, palpitation OF the heart. night
sweats, cough, poor appetite, and almost daily
antings. She tainted to entire insensibllity dur
ing one of my first visits. I commenced of course
by such active local treatment as the liberation
demanded and then applied myself to a recupera-
ton OF the general heath. Itwas nconvenient to
see her frequently, and except to mark the healing
OF the ulcers. in the early stages visited her ev-
cry other week, For tonic and constitutional in
ysorant Dodd's Nervine only was prescribed.

properties, and knew nothing more safe or salts
factory In its probable effects. And the result
completely justified my expectation In less than
fortnight the bowels had become free and rcgu-
lar in their movements, the night-sweats disap-
pealed, and appetite began to grow. The
iantIng spells became less frequent, and soon
ceased altogether. In another fortnight there wa
no more cough, the vaginal discharge was sensi-
bly, diminishing, sleep was normal and refre sf'
ing and the general health decidedly improved,
What remains is soon told, The patient contin-
ued the of the Nervine, (and no other med

tendance was not required. Since her recovery !

oine give her such comfOrt-and such appetite
and such sleep-and such courage ~ and such
strength She wouldn't try to keep house again
without it, and so forth, and so forth. 1t Is my
own opinion that the Nervne Is the best tonic and
