For Weakness and General Debility.
North Searsmont, Me-, Sept 9, 1870.
DEAR s1R:-It gives me very great pleasure to
inform you OF the benefit received from the use
Of Peruvian Syrup in my own family. My wife,
Tor the past ten years, has been in feeble health
very much dibilitated generally. Last spring
she concluded to try bottle Of Peruvian Syrup,
and was so well pleased with the result contin-
ned its use until three or four bottles had been
used, and she is now in better health than at
any time for. ten years, and has increased In
weight from ITO pounds to ls6. Ihave employed
physicians, and used q great variety OF patent
medicines, to the extent Of hundreds of dollars,
and know she received more benefit from the
Peruvian Syrup than all the rest together. MY
sales on the Syrup are very large and constantly
increasing, and do not hesitate to recommend
and even warrant it to give satisfaction. Hyou
desire, you are at liberty to use this communi-
cation % you see fit, as it gives me pleasure to
recommend so good an article to suffering hui
manity. Yours truly, THikL ERASE.
