To DIR. Il. V. PIERCE.
Your Discovery needs only a fair
trial and it will do all you recommend
it to 90 and more toe. When / was
liItetIi tHuSnt cONt anu lOF twenty
eight wears have been perfect wreck
of disease, and ail the medicines and
doctors bills have run up at times to
two and three hundred dollars, and
never any better but worse, when /
gave up all fope last spring of living
the summer through. | received one
of Your Account Books ard told my
husband after reading it that it was too
late TO try further, but he said it was
never too late. He went and bought
two bottles and l found it Was helping
me very much. Since 1871 was trou-
bled with Catafrh and Sore Throat and
Was almost entirely deaf in one ear,
and my voice was as dull as could be.
There Was constant pain in my head.
Now my head is as sound aus dollar,
my voice is clear, and | have used ten
bottles If your Discovery. Il has cured
me of Ca:arrh, Sore Throat, Heart Dis
ease, Spine Affection and Torpid Liv-
er. My Liver was very bad. My skin
was rough. When | put my hand on
my body it was like fish scales. Now
it is as smooth and soft as child's. In
conclusion / will say have been well
for three months. I am wonder TO
myself and friends. This is but an i'm
perfect statement, half has not been
told. Yours with respect,
UEsI Err LACKEY.
