Important Certificate.
Communicated by a Physician.

ltOm1nunlcated Oy fhySlciLn.I
 Some months ago I was called to attead a lady of Williamsburg. N. Y., who had lorg been suffering from troublesome uterine dis ease. Its presence was marked by constant vaginal discharge, sometimes of q watery con sistency and sometimes creamy and mOcu-pur- nlent. She had been under other treatment for some time. but cunsf aatly grew worse. Va ginal examination disclosed extensive indura- ton and alteration of the cervix uteri. The uterine inflammation which was evidently as- suming a chronic form, was also aggravated by long standing constipation, palpitation of of the heart night sweats, cough, poor appe- tite and almost daily faintings She tainted to entire sensibility during one of my first wis it's. I commenced of course. by such active 10 cal treatment as the alteration demanded, and then applied myself to a rrcuperation of the general health. It was inconvenient to see her frequently, and except to mark the heal ing of the ulcers in the early stages, visited her only every other week. For tonic and con- stitutional invig orant Dodd's Nervine only YVES prescribed. had sometime before be- come acquainted with its properties, and knew of nothing more satisfactory in it's probable effects. And the result completely justified my expectation. In less than d fortnight the bowels had become free and regular in their movements, the night-sweats disappeared. and appetite began to grow Ihe fainting spells became less frequent, and soon ceased alto gether. In another fortnight there was he more cough. the vaginal discharge was sensi bly, diminishing, sleep was normal and lefresh- ing. and the general health decidedly improv- ed. What remains is soon told The patient continued the use Q! the Nervne, and no oth- CT medicine, tor some weeks longer, when my further attendance was not required. Since her recovery have seen her but once. She seems perfectly well Her joy over restored heal, Il is naturally enough most enthusiastic. She never before had a medicine g: ve her such comfort and such appette-and such sleep 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 Nervine is the best tonic and corrective of the female organization. that has ever come under my un- der my observation. shal! not fail to contin- ue it's use in all similar cases, and the proses sion know they are numerous enough.

 Probably never before in the whole history of medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent series of years, and among most of tho races of men it has risen higher and higher in their estima tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform of the lungs and throat, we made it known a re. liable protector against them. While adapted to naer forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time the mos. eectual remedy that can be given for incipient consumption, and the dan- gerous affections of tEc throat and lungs As pro- vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should be kept ol .laEd in every fanily, and indeed as all sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them.
 Although settled LsRs4nspti0n is thought in- curable, still great numbers of cases where the dis case seemed settled, have boen completely cured and the patient restored % sound health by the Cherry I,ectoroi. So complete is it3 mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that tho most ob tinatc of them yield to it. When not ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee forat they subsidc and disappear. - :
