LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. s. 1859
DR. JoHN BUIL-Dear Sir: Many thanks to you
for the medicine Won have so kindly given me. l
have been a great sufferer for years, and had the
advice of various physicians. Some pronounced
my spine. some my lungs, and some my heart,
to be the seat OF my disease. l have
been burnt blistered and cupPed until had
become disheartenei. Several very eminent phy9i-
clans who examined my spine informed me that
was threatened with paralysis or apopiexy any
day. and that nothing but seton would relieve me.
had q perfect horror Of that and was hesitating
about having one inserted, when you kindly sent
me your Sarsaparilla which Immediately begun TO
take three times day. had suffered terribly with
a most acute pain in the right side of my head, es
peeially when would read or write for any length
Of time, and on raising to my feet would be per
fectly blind for several minutes and would have to
hold TO something TO prevent falling.
am most happy 10 inform you that the pain in
nv head is entirely relieved; suffer but seldom
with my spine and then not 80 acutely- Ny appe
tite is good: indeed for the first time in my life
enjoy my dinner more than any other meal during
the day.
You kindly sent me four bottles again last night
and began again this morning, and hope to b
entirely relieved. Please accept my heartfelt
thanks and best wishes.
Very truly your most greatful friend.
Mrs. B. c. RIVERS.
