Additional Testimony as TO the Merits of

A gentleman remarked recently that

Read this and suppose case:
Eleven years ago / had n child that
vast delicate from birth, and for six
months she was under constant care of
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed powerless to
control the bowel trouble, which had be-
come chronic dysentery. She also suf-
fered from some aggravated blood trou-
BILE, which caused large sores and risings
to break out on her body. Oft time
there would be as many as 20 or 20
We had several doctors to treat her NJ
different times. but nothing reached hen
case. They would lance these risings,
but as soon as one was cured another
broke out, and the doctors gave me no
hope Of her cure. After she had led
life of agony and suffering for six
months, i was inspired to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. There was a change
for the better in twenty-four hours, it
seemed to check the bowels at once, and
aIter using lew DOltleS my emu was
entirely cured. and has never since had
any sign of the trouble, and is now in
