The evidence that Prof. Caldwell
has presented to the public for the
past two months ii of such Il cEarac
ter as not only to convince the most
incredulous Of his skill in the treat
ment of disease, but also satisfies and
inspires faith, because the patients
themselves (yOur friends and neigh
bOrS) who have been rescued by him
from a condition Of desperation and
hopelessnesS. have described their
symptoms and testified to the thor
oughnesS and reliability of their cures.
Very many have come without hope

sire of their friend>) and been cured.
/ If Prof. Caldwell can cure these peO-
