CURED AFTER TWO THO LISA Nd
DOLLAR RS SPENT IN VAIN.


Rootstown, Ohio, March %, 1S76.-Dr.
NJ. NJ. Fenner, Fredonia, N. Y.,-Dear Sir
If you want one of the best testimonials
of your Blood and Liver Remedy and
Nerve Tonic, you can get it of Mr.. James
Phelps, of this place. He is reliable
man, and had been sick five years and
spent some two thousand dollnrs for medi-
cine and treatment. One half dozen bottles
of your rem edy cured him. He had an alb
scess that was dischargipg when be COM
menced taking the medicine, from pint to
quart day. He was unable to leave his
bed. Is now about and attending to his
business. The abscess entirely healed be-
fore he had taken three bottles. He has
been the means of our selling very much of
your medicines here. and every body likes
them. We, as agents, would like very much
to have you write him for a statement of
his exact condition. Yours Truly,
GREEN & SPELMAN, Merchants.
1t is now everywhere conceded that this
isa remedy never before equaled in real cura-
tive value. 1t accomplishes several impor-
tant indications, chief among which may
be mentioned:
/. 1t completely cleauses and purfies
the blood, quickly overcoming constipation,
causing the liver to :h"ow OF its bile, and
cleansing the entire alimentary canal, rid
ing it of worms and other verlnin iuhabit-
ing an unhealthy stomach and bowels
This action renders it peculiarly valuable
N the weaknesses, thick and impure blood
billiousness and lassiludes incident to the
change from winter TO spring. 1t causes
those feeling dull, heavy headachy. op-
pressed and blue to become clearheaded AMI
cheerful within two days time. In thus re-
moving all humors from the blood, it cures
all blood diseases from a pimple on the
face to grave scrofula.
ID. 1t has wonderful healing and nutri
tive properties for the relief of all lrrita-
tiCns and Inflammation within, and restor-
ing and building up the system. 1t thus
strengthens and heals the Stomach, Nervous
System, Heart, Lungs, Kidneys and all
other tissues.
3d. 1t is an active aud permanent Nerve
Tonic, thereby adapting it to all grades of
''nervo usness'' by building up the nervous
system. Nerve medicines will not act, un-
less associated with cleansing remedies.
Hence the beauty Of this compound.
4th. By its healing and nutritive quail
ties it becomes the necessary and best
remedy in all chronic Coughs. Assisted in
these cases by DR.. Fenner's Improved
Cough Honey, the lungs and throat readily
heal.
9th. Owing to its Healing Nerve Re
storative and Cleansing properties, it be-
comes the best remedy now known for all
that long list of ailments peculiar to females
1t is therefore vege table compound, so
made up of the choicest plants carefully col
lected from every country and cline of the
word, as to possess the rarest Alternative
or Cleansing and Purifying, together with
Healing and Tonic or Nerve Strengthening
and Restorative properties combi ned.

Great preparations are being made
i'll England to receive eX-President
Grant with fitting and appropriate
hOnors. 1t is also intimated that the
government at Washington has in
formed the British ministry that it is
expected that the same honors will be
shown to him as We're bestowed on
Napoleon and Louis Philippe. Be
that as it may, however, there is no
doubt that the English as people will
vie with each other in extending
courtesies to the distinguished
stranger, and that the government
will leave nothing undone to show its
appreciation of him as a military hero
The fame of General Grant Is world
wide, and wherever he may go he
will be recognized as Representative
American, who served his country in
the field and the executive office with
distinguished honor, and he will be
surprised to find that he is almost as
well known abrord as at home. - VIZ
