From "the Times'.l

Y EDITORS OF THE TDES:-TI have been
watching the correspondence in your pa
per the past few weeks with much in
terest. Having been in the practice
of medicine for many years, ], have
learned to have no confidence in the
many proprietary medicines which are on
cellent recommendation given by DR..
Bates, and the knowledge had Of his
veracity a.d ability asa physician that
ever led me to lay aside my long existing
prejudice, to try this only wonderful
remedy, named Kendalls SPAWN Cure
which L find. SO many of your readers
have also found to be SO valuable. Rheu-
matism has afflicted me for years, and
with all the skill have professed to have
in treating others found myself unable
to do anything to cure mysely entirely.
After suffering for years the difficulty
became located in my hip and nothing
that I could do seemed to affect it until
began to use Kendall's SPAWN Cure,
which has cured me completely. In all
my experience as ply sician I have never
been ableto make any compound which
penetrates SO thoroughly and works SO
admirably in removing old standing all
ments, and at the same time hardly
produce any irritation of the skin. It has
done such wonders with me that I have
the utmost confidence in its efficacy, and
can recommend it with the confidence
that the proprietors do not claim too
much for it,
Respectfully.
