DODD'S
 NERvINE :.
 ONCE MORE

The standard remedy for bilicusness with the medical profession is the anti-biious pill of the American pharmacopea. And its rep utation has been we'll enough deserved. But it is pill, nevertheless, and most people of sensibility feel something about as big as a meeting house coming into their throats when ever pill is spoken of. Dodd's Nervine and Invi gorator acts efficiently on the billiary or ganism; it irritates neither stomach or i1tes- tine in it's operation; and what is very impor- tant, as all good nurses know it is agreeable to take, being as pleasant to the pal ate as any dellcate wine. We all know how it is with Cod Liver Oil. In pure state it is excellent for certain conditions of debility, and particu- larlysin tendencies to consumption; and yet many of the best physicians decline to pre- scribe it. because it so dreadfully sickens the patient. That, they say, makes it do more harm than good. With Dodd's Nervine all this becomes obsolete.

After using your lnhaline Fluids short time, ,my cough became less and finally ceas- ed entirely; since then l have gained rapidly Tn strength, and now enjoy better health than have for years It is with the hope that persons suder- ing with that dread disease Consumption, or an J nose, throat, or lung diseases, may learn Of your invaluable remedies and be convinced of their vlr- tues, that send you this letter. I refer. to the following well known gentlemen who are fully &C., quainted with my case: Mr. c. Gruman, Charles White, N H. Gibbs, and John B. Smith ef Nor walk Conn; Mir. D. T. Hubbell, I. H. Wilson, K. $. Willard, and F. W. Smith, of Bethel, Conn. Very truly ARTHUR QUAINT.
 My practice being confined to the nose, throat, and Lungs, so my remedies are specially designed for local applications to these organs by inhalation Patients treated by letter at their homes, by an- swering list of 80 questions, by which the nature of the disease is known.
