everything in the shape of patent medi-
cines I ever heard of, some affording

bottles Of your valuable medicine, !
stopped taking it regularly, but always
keep it by me. / consider am all right
now and have been for more than year,
and can eat anything set before me. !
would most heartily recommend your
