be ufoimed of the result of the trial of the "Pe-
ruvian Syrup in my family My daughter was
brought low by typhoid fever last spring, and af-
ter the fever left her she continued very weak, and
the simplest food distressed her. For months she
remained in the same debilitated condition; but
from the lst of September last when she CON-
menced taking the Syrup the digestive functions,
improved and she steadily gained strength and vi
vacitv; and now, having taken two bottles. she IS
restored to good state of health; indeed, she ap-
peared more really healthy than she has for several
years past l am of opinion that the "Protoxide
of Iron" contained in the Peruvian Syrup, was
adapted to her case, and effected what no other
known medicine could have effected.
