RICHMOND. Va. May 30. 1881.
My physician, after exhausting
me financially, informed me that nv
case was hopeless, taat no remedy
would reach my case, and it was
entirely useless for me to continue
taking medicine. I was told that
one lung Was gone, and that my
bowels and kidneys were all decay
ed. I suffered overwhelmingly from
the horrors of dyspepsia and pain
full urlnation, and my breath came
short aud quick, while my heart at
times ceased to beat entirely, while
again it would thump most vehe-
mently. A sister of mine, a Mrs.
Rhorer, in Baltimore. wrote to my
father advising him to get me
Browns Iron BItters- From the
very first dose felt a change; now
all pain is gone, nay digestion is
good, my URN is free from sedi-
ment. and my siumber unbroken
and dreamless. I now feel perfect
ly restored, and go about and do as
much work as ever I did, and do
not feel the least fatigued.
