Mrs. N. II. Small, the wife of the popular

writes us on May 10, 1883: "That she had
been severely afflicted during several years
with kidney and liver disease, accompanied
with severe pains and backache. Having
tried many so.called cures and medicines and
Doctors prescriptions without receiving any
benefit, and while seeking for a cure she no.
ticed the advertisement of Hunts Remedy,
and decided to try it. Having bought
bottle at Mr.. Johnson's drug store, COM
menced using it with such fisttering results
that she continued its use, and after using
only five bottles the improvement in her
health is so marked that she wishes all who
are afflicted in like manner TO know of this
most valuable and reliable medicine and
she most cheerfully recommends Hunts
Remedy to all, and especially to females who
are troubled with the complaints peculiar to
the SEX"
