From Andrew H. MeGee, Esq, an old
Resident Of Davsnport, Iowa,

DR., CoNNAUGHToN:-Dea Sir: With
feelings of the deepest gratitude for
the benefit my son has received at
your hands while patient at your In
sIitute, allow me TO enumerate a few
facts for those similarly afflicted:
For two years previous to being under
your treatment, my son had suffered be-
all description. Various physicians
ofrenown had been employed to no
purpose. 1t was thought that his eye
could not be cured. A kind friend of
Davenport who had been cured by
you recommended you. Now | am
happy to say all my friends in Daven-
port say that my sons eye is quite
well.
[ sincerely commend those afflicted
with chronic diseases to avail them
selves of your skill, and am confident
they will not regret it. L have ex-
pressed myselfin strong terms because
so many have inquired of me for these
facts, and because in these days of
false advertising L am glad to be able
as Christian man, cOnscientlously,
to recommend one thing up to the full
measure of its advertisement.
Very truly yours,
ANDREW Ii. MCGEE.

some time in plac ny it before the public; but
from the gratifying assurance by great number
OF the rare vitaizing and health renewing proper
ties of hs preparation OF Hypophosphltes, under a
variety Of circumstances, ne IL edually satisfied
that these effects secured by Its that its
action is peculiar to his preparation, and that CoN
sUMPT. If not only DURABLE, but, up to certain
stage, is stage, easily controlled most other
organic diseases
While it is the aim OF the inventor to convey in
formation TO such as require his Hypophosphites.
1t is his firm belief that its will be valuable to
all who desire long life or who are struggling
for health
with a faith based upon the experience of IL
years, he would not despair of restoring patient
suffering from the sbave-named disease, even
though reduced to very low state and not COM
plcated by actual organic less,
