Statement:-My son Henry, now six years Of
OF scarlet fever about four years ago. My fam
iiy physician, DR.. Hamiin, OF Marysville, Cali
fOrnia, told me that the child had better have
died, aS he would be afflicted all his life with
sores OF a ScrOfulOus nature, which he consid-
cred incurable- The condition OF the child up
10 last April seemed TO confirm the Doctors
opinion, rs he never was free from those
eruptious sores A number of our best physi-
clans had endeavOred In vain TO give the child
relief. At the time / commenced giving him
DR.. Borzeau's smallpox Remedy the child was
unable TO open his ewes, his face was a com
plete mass Of Inflammation and corruption
running from both ears. He took two bottles
Of the abOve-named medicine aS per directions.
In twelve hours from commencing To take the
medicine, a favorable change was noticeable,
and in less than six weeks all traces Of the old
afiiiciion had disappeared. JNO. NJ. FRONK.
