Many years OF severe and thorough practical trial

are others who, under no circumstances, could be
prevailed upon to admit their merits simply because
such an admission would prove detrimental to theiI
particular personal interests.
Fortunately for the welfare of mankind, these

man whose lungs diseased must be given over to

my bosom. was young, and chung to life with the
same tenacity that young men, and old men too,

long as single vestige OF it remained. 1 had full
faith in the sad Information conveyed to me by my
physicians, but still there was a lingering belief
that something could be done, though I knew not
in what direction to seek for the much desired relief

now prepared. L procured and used them, and, to
the utter amazement of al-physicians, friends and
neighbors-began to improve. My entire system
commenced to undergo a complete renovation. Ex-

which was at the same time nutritious and whole

offensive; exhausting night sweats ceased the rack

the pain departed; flesh planted itself on my sadly
wasted frame, and with flesh came strength
and full health. From mere skeleton l became a
stout, strong, robust man, and have maintained
hundred and thirty-hve pounds; am blessed with
an appetite vouchsafed to but few men, while my
digestive organs are amply equal to all the require

Now, be 1t remembered, all these wonderful chan
ges were wrought by the use Of the medicines pre-

so miraculous naturally created astonishment in
the minds of those who knew me, was literally
besieged on all sides. had visitors daily who be-

Thousands OF suffering men, women and children,
