RICHMOND, VA.
Dear Sir,-For the benefit of persons
suffering from Chronic Liver Com
plant, beg leave to call their atten-
ton to your vegetable preparation,
"Nolandine." regard it as a "chola-
gogue," combining alsotonic and reno
waiting properties, and in this respect
differing from any medicine I have
ever taken.
The effects of your No1andine" in
my case, has been on the liver and Sc
cretions identical with ca1ome1; at the
same time, entirely free from II auseating
ard facilitating consequences follow
ing the use of that mineral.
I very cheerfully recommend your
"No1andine for the diseases enume-
rated Oh your circulars, and am convinc-
cd from personal benefit derived from
its use, that it must become a stand
ard family medicine.
1 am II OF alone in the very high esti-
mate Iplace on "Nolardinc," and trust
it will be universally known and be, as
it should be, the means of taking the
place of mineral preparations for that
class of diseases in which it has prov
ed so successful and already gained such
areputation. Hoping that "Nolandine"
may reach allpcrsors suffering from bill
ious arrangement and prostration from
chronic diseases, am very respectfully
yours, JOHN w. CALDWELL.

Permit me to add my testimony TO the
curative properties of Nolandine.
For many years have suffered from
varicose veins. Twelve m onths age
struck my leg against chair, breaking
one of the veins. The wound thus
made could not be healed except for a
short time; then break out afresh. At
times I suffered untold misery from To-
cal fever and most insufferable burning
sensation. After using two (a) bottles
of your vegetable Nolandine" the
liberated places healed, the swelling
disappeared, natural sleep was restored
and my nervous system composed.
Asa vermifuge, Nolandine acted s>-
cifica1ly on one of my children. II

Nolandine has no equal. Gratefully
