GREAT TRIUMPHS OF ANIMAL

1 Truth is Mighty and Must Prevail.”
Atlanta, Ga., February 12, 1868.
I have boon a hopeless invalid fer the weary
space of tea or twelve years, laboring under a
combination of dreadful diseases, which have long
since been pronounced INCURABLE. I’had of
late grown rapidly worse, until three days since
I was brought to this city on a bed, being en
tirely unable to sit up, for tho purpose of consult
ing the far-famed Prof. ROBERTS. After the
first treatment, which was only a few minutos, I
was free of all pain and able to walk anywhero,
and to-day I feel so well and strong I can scarce
ly realize that lam the same being who was so
feeble and suffering so much three days since. I
can never oxpress my heartfelt gratitude to tho
man whose wonderful skill has thus (relieved me,
of so much inexpressible suffering. May God
bless the Doctor wherever ho goes, is my bumble
prayer.

that for eight months past I havo been afflioted
with Neuralgia in the right side of the face, and
most of the time suffered most excruciating pain
during which time I have sought relief in Tain
from tho regular medical profession; and I fur
ther certify that I was relieved the first time I
was treated by Prof. ROBERTS, and apparently
permanently cured after being treated tho third
time. I most confidently recommend him to ail
similarly afflicted. J. B. LANIER.
