A violent rough was tne consequence, which increased in severity during the winter months until it reduced her almost to a skeleton.

I now called on Dr. Newton, of this city, who advised tho use of Dr. Rogers’ liver wort and Tar. assuring me that it was a valuable pre paration, and rave me the history of several cases con sidered hopeless, where this medicine restored their health again. We followed his Advice, and in one week the expec toration was nearly conquered.
