six days was entirely free from pain and able
to resume my business believe What told
Mr., Hunnicutt at that time, that his cure is the
best medicine the world has been offered for
rheumatism.

of Philadelphia and Simmons the Liver
Regulator man, Of st Louis got into a news
paper row in the South, and on account OF my
position toward the iobbing trade each of them
was very DESTROYS of getting a certificate from
me, was approached indirectly by both Of
them through my friends, but refused every
time. Finally one OF them made me an indirect
offer OF 81 500 ii would say his medicine was the
best, or equally as good, as any-upon the mark

had all the money needed and gave him to un
