TEASPOON LAKE, Me, July 10, 1884,
Messrs. Annanias & Sapphira, Pro-
prietors of DR.. Tapeworm's Night
Blooming Liver Polish and Gall
Cleanser New York;
GENTLEMEN Your favor of the Sd
inst, inclosing P. 0. money order for
letter of endorsement for your celo-
brated Night Blooming Liver Polish
and Gall cleanser, was duly received,
but owing to the celebration of the
nations natal day, and slight feel
ing of regret bordering on delirium
triangles, | have not been able to pre-
pare the letter of Endorsement until
now.
In 1879 had a great deal of pain
just northwest of the kidneys, would
say, and about due west of the spleen,
as the crow flies. Doctors could do
nothing for me, and life became to me
a hollow mockery, utterly devoid OF
fun. My liver became swollen to the
size of bushel basket, l should Judge,
or larger, if you think best-use your
own judgment about that-and my
gall became abnormally large also. l
suffered extremely from excruciating
pains. Excruciating pains are always
more or less painful, or at least they
were in my case. / became SO low
and weak that my creditors despaired
of my recovery. My large business as
deputy clerk of School District No. II
required my presence at. my Office
every day, and yet the pain was so
excruciating, as aforesaid, that could
hardly drag myself up the stairs, and
when / returned | had to slide down
the banisters.
i became cross and irritable in the
extreme, frequently throwing my
wife over the hen house while suffer
ing from hypochondria. l never was
unkind to my wife prior to this attack
of enlarged gall, and my devotion tC
her was generally admitted by totaI
strangers everywhere; but while low
spirited, as a result OF my enlarged
liver, frequently drove her inte the
woods with a shotgun. | would ther
be overwhelmed with remorse ant
wish her back.
About three days ago ! bought {
bottle OF your celebrated Night Bloom
ing Liver Polish and Gall Cleanser
1t saved my life. The first evening
took teaspoonfull of your remedy
and during the night coughed up ont
lobe CT my liver, which was much in
famed and weighed nine pounds
From that moment | began to i'm
prove. was soon able to attend t.
my arduous duties OF deputy clerk o
School District No. II, to which
I added those OF alternatesumpire in {
