INDISPUrABLE EVIDENCE.

R.. PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo, \. Y:
i wish to add my testimony to the
wonderful curative properties of your
Alt. Ext, or Golden Medical Discovery.
| have taken great interest in this medi-
cine since l first used it. l was badly
afflicted with dyspepsia, liver deranged
and an almost perfect prOstration of the
nervous system. So rapid and complete
did the discovery effect a perfect cure
that it seemed more like magic and
perfect wonder to myself, and since that
tire we have never been without a bot
tie of the Discovery and Purgative Pei
lets in the house. They are solid,
sound family physician in the house, and
ready at all times to fly 10 the relief OF
sickness - without charge. We have
never had a doctor III the house since
we first began the use of your Pellets
and Discovery l have recommended
the use of these medicines in several Sc
we're and complicated cases arising from,
as / thought, an impure state of the
blood, and in no one case have they
failed to more than accomplish all they
are claimed TO do. / will only mention
one as remarkable, Though l could give
you dozens). Henry Roster, furniture
dealer of this place, who was one of the
most pitiful objects ever seen, his face
was swollen out of shape, scales and
eruptions without end, extending TO his
body, which was completely covered
with blotches and scales. Nothing that
he took seemed to effect it particle. L
finally induced him to try few bottles
of the Golden Medical Discovery, with
daily use of the Pellets, assuring him 1t
would surely cure him. He commenced
its use some six weeks since, taking two
Pellets each night for a week, then one
each night, and the Discovery as direct
ed. The result is. to-day his skin is per-
fectly smooth, and the scaly eruptions
are gone. He has taken some seven or
eight bottles in all, and considers him
self cured This case had baffied the
skill of our best physicians. Messrs.
Dunsford & Co, druggists, of this place,
are selling largely of your medicines, and
the demand steadily increases, and they
give perfect satisfaction in every case.
Respectfully.
