two weeks before / was able to do light
work on the farm. Before this l could not
attend to any business, being completely
FRUSTRATED, and after taxing two packages
considered myself perfectly cured and my
health fully re-este blished, the brOnchta Al
difficulties and all bad symptoms being
entirely removed. All this IL attributable
to your unrivalied medicine, under the
Divine sanction, which / trust, with me,
Will ever be remembered with gratitude. 1

expression of my heartfelt gratitude and
thanks for the timely aid you rendered my

"DR. HAMILTON :-My best friend and
not only certain TO my own apprehension,
but all my personal friends who have
known my suferings so long and so well,
join In this opinion. From spinal dis
ease 1 have suffered Tor years what no

have been afflicted with aggravated affec-
lions of the liver and spleen; and my kid
neys and bladder have been so diseased
that other physicians have tried their skill
in vain. L have laid in hospitals for
months. and have again and again con-
suited the most eminent physicians and
surgeons in Boston, New York, Charleston,
Cincinnati, and other cities, without re-
gard to expense They were men OF learn
Ing and great reputation, but In all hon
esty must say they did me no good. AT.
ter trying thoroughly their skin, they had
to acknowledge my case as complicated
and hOpelesS-sincurable,' as they have
termed 1t. In nine weeks you have cured
me-made me new man. had no hope,
nor had my friends; but am now right

years of suffering, / know what 1t Is to en-
joy the blessed, joyous feeling OF health,
