 DR. JOHN BULL--Dedr Sir: I have recent ily given your s'Worm Destroyer" several trials, and find it wonderfully eficacious. It has not failed in single instance to have the wished for effect. am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. am free to confess that know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, shall use great deal of it. I am awarethat the use of such articles is contrary to theteachings and practice of q great majority of the rs9uiar line of NJ. D s, but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding remedy which we know to be efil- cient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination. For my part, shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which may be able to command--not hcsitating because some one more ingerious than myself may have learned its effects first and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrnms that flood the country. that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. am. sir, most respectfully.

 OR CHILLS & .EEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicin jnstly claims for it superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the sofs, certain, speedy, and ps,Aaaaens cure Of Arue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony,to the truth of the as. sertion, that in no case whatever will 1t fall to cure, if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In n great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for cure, and whole families have been cured by single bottle, With perfect restoration of the gem eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case 4nofe certain to cure, if its use IS continued in smaller doses for week or two after the disease has been checked, more es- pecially in difficult and long-standing cases Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require csthartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic. single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufi- cient.
