THE ARGUMENT OF FAcrs.-With the
consent Of the parties concerned, the.fo
lowing facts arc made public: On the23d
OF October last, Levi NJ. Phillips, civil
engineer, residing in Harlem, was suffering
from an obstinate and severe bilious affec-
rttop, accompanied by great bodily weak
ness and utter.IOSs Of appetite. I In com
pllance with the wish of friend (NIr. J.
5. 'Latfobe, Of 40 Amity PtaCe,' New
,YorlO, Mr. Phillips commenced. taking
iPIARTATroE BTrtriERs. Hchad no faith,
he said, but would "make the expert.
mcnt." We give the result, as related by
Mr.. P. himself al 50 Park Place, on the
G0th of November. "Imet Latrobe the
other day in u restaurant" said he, "and
told him that the preparation saved my
life. ! say 50 now, l. ghfourtCon
pounds moro thanrI did five weeks ago,
am quite well, and Us to eating-well, ask
me to dinner and you'll Sec" Facts like
these are;%ortha thousand assertions, and.
Mr.. Phillips and his friend arc at all times
ready to endorse them.
