MOFFAT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
medicines are indebted for ihcir name

fying the ypring and channels of life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred ccriified cases wbßh has made public,
and in almost ever) species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happv effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AM) PIIENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully ami publicly ac
i nnwkdged by the persons beoefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted wiih the beau iitnly
phih sophiral principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they e:ncequenily
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. ’1 heir
first opcraiion is to loosen from the coals ol the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tantly settling around them ; anc to
remove the hardened feces which collect
i convulsions of the smallest intestines. Other
; medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
! >ueh collected masses behind as to produce habitu
| al cosliveness with > 11 its train of evils, or inasnd
| den d.airlupa, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known lo ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine tiie human bowels after death ; and hen-e
the prejuditeof those well infiirmcd men against
quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her
alded to tlie puhlie hv ignorant pi rsons. 'J he se
cond effect of the Life Medic.nes is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, ihe healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blocd, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before il
passes into the heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely th.ough the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Lile Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy lor Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Falpitatton of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
lion, Scurv), Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbunc
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysij*elas, Common
Colds and influenza and various oli.er complaints
which afflict the humar frame, in fever and
ague, paiticularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news
paper notice, or any tnirg that he himself may say
in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It ts
alone by the resuh of a fair trial.

Radical Cure ofllerma or Rupture, by Dr*
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
THE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson SlCo., forthe
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee oi the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
i patient, and often under trials more severe than
; are usually ventured upon by those who weai other
: trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
; other apparatus known to the committee.”
, “ The committee are induced by the foregoing
( conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in
j struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of
j the profession, as the best known means of rae
; chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
j highest chances of radical cure.”
i The following is from the Southern Medical and
i Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of Jiernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from someresponsi'
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADSUF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO—a substitute for Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component pails are made
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they
profess to be, and will do for othcis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
Jiis is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
aicertaine i that .ney contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is .Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
his city. We all know something aoout this,

ANTi-BALSAMJC GONORRIKEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days,
f § tIIIS incomparaUc and invaluable remedy so
£ long known, and used with such unparralieled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 years, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Its operation upon the
human system is such that it invariably acts like
a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable “ills the flesh is heir to.”
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success hich has attended it through al! of its
trying c cumstances, namely, “five days,”—the
same su cess which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M. Cheveres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabesothe. or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an abnost
incredible extent the children of this warlike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, but by parting with copies of his receipt
at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of
Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the
Great Spirit, never to divulge the “ait of its com
position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although
free to use it in their respective tribes, which
places it in the hand#of every Indian who rely
with, 1 may say, religious conlidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
be anglisizcd of the deed given by Wabenoshe, to
>l. Chevcret, when he purchased the original recipe,
and had twice assisted thf Ckief himself through
the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of time
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowa and
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I
have for my white friend M. Chevcret, (for he has
done many good tilings for me and my people,) I
give to him my greatest cure for the bad sickness
which my children have had sent among them as
a punishment by the Great Spirit, and hope that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very
rich.”

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing corapaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so mich suffering should have existed forages
without any discovery of an effectual prevenliv ?°or
cure,is truly a subject of much regret but Dr.’s,
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milted fact that this complaint, w hether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who ihink they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, thanh a sys

must they expects restoration of jhc natural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object. Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health. Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. Tite remedy

FSIHE great cclehrilyof this unrivalled Compo
1L silion,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor: /or it has been generally conceded to if, that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed and certainly of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouutis,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. <fec., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, il prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in live days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of w bite swelling that can bo ima
gined, have been destroyed by it m less than two
months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its
powers of attraction are so wonderful that thry will
at once arrest the poison and ihus prevent it from
perva ling the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses—for tellers, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or
beast.

To Dr. Harrison.
Sir—l useyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers While Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and for general external crnnp!a : nts. I write ibis
ai ihe request of your agent here, who furnishes me

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn the comp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, 1 applied your ointment lo the
afflicted part; and I thank Cod that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair os fast as can he expected. The
cure was effected in lather less than two months;
during wlucu time 1 used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
dining the previous tiireeyears, without any benefit
whatever. MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth ul the above
statement CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be cotrccl,and I
: can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external
complaints MATTHEW PERKIN.
Boston, Jan. 7, 1837.
Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as I am quite out, and much
I in want of it.—You know ray estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,
that further t xpenence has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior lo any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lor several years, and
if think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures w hich it has effected under my own imme
diate inspection : the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer,m the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which il completely healed in twenty
onedays. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in ibis
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle, from whom I used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if I purchase at random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,
EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority of the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as il is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
low s, piles, &c., il is m»’ universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was
as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day

r ? *HESK Pills are no longer among those of doubt
-1 ful utility. They have passed away from the
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering
man. They have been introduced wherever it was
found possible to carry them ; and there are but
few towns that do not contain some remarkable
evidences of their good effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicin
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
asserted, that no medicine of the kiul has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
md there are.lhousands of families who declare they
re never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing

where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nausea, griping nor debility.
The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By requestor your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your pii's; and 1 would
add, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience,as I and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great an? the benefits wo have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them alien dollars a box than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but I can assure you they
were many, and of very opposite natures, which
has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim
ple purifier of the system, and therefore equally
the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
case. I have a sister who bad been for a iong pe
riod severely afliicted with dropsy in the chest and
was brought by it to the very verge of the gra\ e.
She was attended by the most eminent physicians
that money could procure ; but all their efforts to
restore her to health, or even to mitigate her suffer
ings were fruitless ; and accordingly,we all consid
ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good
fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex
pecting every day to be her last, your pills were
introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
pable were their effects that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
perfectly restored to healtli. This case, I and all
who were witness of it, (but more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet 1 could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
were equally successful in rescuing the patients
from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country ? But this 1 presume
you know fiom the immense quantity you dispose
of I may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, 1 never heard an individual complain
of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Ral
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward' of fifteen
: months, I have been ciucily afliiclcd with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing—
though 1 had applied to every thing that gave ”ne
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best i>hy sicians, and I arn most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes when I found that they had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as lam anxious to add ;ny public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.
Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839.
Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia :
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of
the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ciazen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills—four of which 1 admiuistere !, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
case,in connection with rny name is at your ser
vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.
March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
cine, those effects being produced by the differences
of the quantify taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract fiom a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are apeculiarly mild,yet
efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, il
any, griping or nausea. 1 have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and slight bil
lions fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams ol
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837. —1 cordially recom
mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no
case dangerous, family medicine. They are pecu
liarly influential in costiveness and all the usual
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw. Smith of Mon
treal, U. C., Sept. 27, 1836. —1 neverknev a single
patent medicine that 1 could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. I have no hesitation
in having it known that I use them extensively in
ray practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) which have their source in the impurity of the
blood
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec, L.
C., March 6, 1837. —For bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen, Peter’s Pills are an excellent medicine.
Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or
leans, La„Oct, 9, 1837.—1 have received much as
sistance in ray practice—especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. 1 pre
sume that, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in
a month.
Extract ol a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. Y., Juae 3, 1830. —1 was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United States,
and felt assured that he would some day (fiom his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and I must
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to ray expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher. ’
illtuiLtMiHi co. .a, Feb. 7,13 b?
Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for
he last twelve months, I take pleasure in giving
my testimony of their good ellects in oases of dys
pepsia, sick head-ache, bilious levers, and other
diseases, produced by inactivity of the liver. They
are a safe and mild aperient, being the best article
of the kind I ever used.
GEORGE C. SCOTT M. D.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore,
Dec. 17,1836. —I am in the daily habit of prescri

cases answered my purpose. I have discarded other
medicines, some of them very good ones, in their
favor.

OU L’KLIXI R DE L’AMOUR*
THE subscriber has the pleasure ol announce
lo the citizens of the U. States, that he hi!
purchased, for a very large sum and from u, e
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris 1°
recipe ar d rieht for making this astonishing nad*
cine. Until the appearance of the “Lucina f
dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought tui
(he complaints, which it speedily overcomes we' 1
beyond i he reach ol human remedy, as fonmwa I
of a thousand years, they had baffled the wisd
and ingenuity of the most profound physician ° Bl
all pans of the world. This Cordial, how« \er I'
the great advantage of the human race,soon pr 0 v j
itself to be the desideratum so long sought lof
accordingly, notwithstanding rl e brief peri d of it
existence, it has required a celebrity so great A *
it Is eagerly inquired for throughout the civiliz }
globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the Homano
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, di<
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, tindero’blwa
tions of secrecy, fbr England, the United fciaL
and otbet countries,only preserving France
Italy for himself. Thus fas the subscriber
sussed himself of the invaluable secret; end n uV v
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of a-r en!( .
the benefits of his speculation. e ’
“Le Cordial l)e Lucine,” or, in English, ‘., np
Lucira Cordial,” ten general invigorator of q lo
human frame! In all the various cases of languor
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing rentf.’
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body Hut the peculiar virtneou which n s
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed by dis« ase.time,recklessness.orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a me r .
curia! or deleterious nature, among the many in«rfl
dients which compose it; but is, at the same time
so simple, yet so ( flicacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an ml'an
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the hem fits which would be
sure to result from it, wo cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this ine-timable Cordial here, or publish many
ot the documenls which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it lias conform] on num
bers of despairing individuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—l hat it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that those evils are the cflecis of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued did removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed,diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
01. Il is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine incases of Chronic Eruptionsoflheskui,
and in the dropsical affections ol the aged.
Most imp .riant to the American Public.
The United Elates proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Llixir of Love,” begs (o lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin. of Paris •
“ T hi« is to certify, thal I hr.ve disposed of the

To Dr. Magnin;—3Ty dear friend—l arn mo*
gratified at Ibe unprecedented popularity of yous
“Luc na Cordial,” and am able to J-;ear testimony W
its surprising virtue. I had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had tut
several years abandoned himself in the vortex o>
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it **
length by the utter prostration of all his virdeener
g!es. He was, indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and t isteiessness. for, if an occasion 8 *
flash of excitement warmed Ins system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result porter 1
prostration, i had applied all the usual nostro 11 * |
in such cases; but, as 1 had aniictpaied, withofl| t
success ; anil when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial
advertised, 1 must confess that even ihe great weigh*
of your name did not give me much hope m it, *
least so far as regarded the case in hand. I **'!
bound to try it, huvvev.r, and was soon satisfied 0
i.s efficacy; for before a bottle was expended,
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity °*
his system ; ami he is now. hiving used four botu e *«
as wellxs ever.
