Settled beyond doubt-No one questions
the fact that more cases Of whites, suppress

structions, of every kind, are being daily
cured, by DR.. j. Bradfeld's Female Regulator,
than by oil other remedies combined. Its
success in Georgia and other States is beyond
precedent in the annals of phsic. Thousands
OF certificates from women everywhere pour in
upon the proprietor. The attention of prom
