A Cancer Mine Years standing Cured by I>r. Cou
naughton.
Dr. Connaughton—Dear Sir:—ln accordance with my promise, voluntarily made, I will
give you the result of your treatment performed on a cancer located on my face, near my left
nostril.
Near the comer of my mouth, I had a cancer which had been coming for nine years, gradually
extending over my face, and I was greatly annoyed with painful apprehensions as to its alarm
ing ravages. I called on you, who took it out with but slight pain, comparatively a pin scratch.
it was dressed as you directed, and within six days dropped out by the roots. The operation
was performed with skill, dexterity and judgment, and 1 feel grateful to you for your success.
The place healed rapidly, and now, after two years, it sill remains well and sound, and scarcely
perceivable. I can, with confidence, recommend your treatment to the afflicted for any of the
specialties you profess to cure.
' ’ Very respectlullv, your friend,
W. 11. CRITTENDEN.
Holly springs. Miss, March 31,1870.
W 7 e certify that, at the request of Major Crittenden, we examined the cancer before he placed
himself under Dr. Connaughton’s treatment. It was about the size of a silver dollar. Dr. Con
nuughton cured the cancer as he promised, and proved to the world that cancer is curable.

LUNG DISEASES. [Extract from a letter:]
Dr. Connaughton, oi New Orleans—Dear Sir: Seeing that many of your patients have thought
proper to make public the successful treatment of their cases, and as I am frequently asked my
opinion of the mode of treatment pursued by you, I thcrefoie think 1 cannot do better than act
as I have seen so many do before me, and publish a short card relating to my case. In this lam
actuated purely by my gratitude, and hope that my letter may' not only open the eyes of those
suffering as I was previons to seeing you, but that it may be a source of satisfaction to yourself.
For several years I have been suffering from asthma, complicated by several other annoying
ailments; I was much troubled with cough, expectorated yellowish matter; and was losing both
health and strength. My appetite was miserable, and my sleep was much disturbed; but what
troubled me most was a constant shortness of breath and oppression in the chest. In this state I
consulted you, win*, alter a careful examination of my chest, gave it as your opinion that I
could be cured, and I accordingly placed inyseli under your care, and in one month from the
time I commenced your treatment, you dismissed me as cured, and I have felt like anew man
ever since.
Hoping that these few lines may be the means of helping others who are troubled with lung
diseases, by giving them renewed hope, and letting them kuow where they can get the reliei
they are so much in need of, (like myself one month ago.) Yours truly,
A. J. BARNES.
From 11. Holsliouscr, Esq.. Covington. Tenn.
Dr Connaughton—Dear Sir: Having suffered severely' from a throat affection, with a pre
disposition to consumption, for a number of years, and finding no relief in any thing prescribed
for me, I was, three weeks ago, induced to place mvself under your treatment, an J was surpris
ed and gratified to experience from your inhalation treatment immediate and effectual relief.
1 consider your method of treating chronic diseases the most speedy and effectual ever tried.
And in justice to your skill, and lor the benefit of humanity, 1 would like for you to make my
case.known, as it may be the means of affording relief to those similarly affected.
Very respectfully,

From Col. Will. Jordan, oi' Byersburg, Tenn.
Dr. Connaughton—Dear Sir: With unfeigned pleasure allow me to add this testimonial as
an additional evidence of your superior skill and unprecedented success in treating chronic
diseases.
I have been suffering from dyspepsia, liver complaint and a disease in my head, characterized
by loss of smell, frequent hawking and a foetid discharge from my nose. I had a marked case
ot catarrh. I consulted several eminent physicians without deriving any benefit, until I placed
myself under your scientific treatment. lam improving very fast, and'repose unlimited confi
dence in your vegetable treatment, and commend you to the afflicted of Dyer county.
Please accept the assurance of my profound esteem and sincere desire for your prosperity.
Very respectfully,
WM. JORDAN.
From W. Bolivar, Postmaster, Auburn, Ky.
Dr. Connaughton—Dear Sir: All of your patients in this community are rapidly improving,
and a majority are effectually cured. All ot your patients speak in unbounded praise of your
Vegetable Remedies. Mr. Shannon (the ‘ Shaker,”) told me all of your patients at South Union
were cured by your ‘‘wonderful remedies.” Mrs. Cox told my wife thatyou had effectually cur
ed her of a lingering female disease of several years’standing. In nine weeks. Captain Clark
told me that you had effectually cured him of a loathsome disease of six years’ standing. Mr.
Bridges says your medicine has nearly cured his daughter; he told me his daughter had been
paralyzed six years; that her voice had failed, and that she could not walk, but after taking
your vegetable medwine for eight weeks, she could get up, dress herself, talk as well as ever,
and go about the house. Everybody will regret when you leave. The cancer onthe negroe’s
eye is entirely well. Your treatment has cured my wife. .She says she feels as well as ever.
Yoin uiend,
W. BOLIVAR.
From Rudolph Glasior, Esq., Hickman, Kj .
Dear Doctor: My little daughter’s eyes have been seriously diseased for several years. Iler
eyes were streaming with scab ting tears all the time; they were spasmodically closed whenever
exposed to the light, very much inflamed; something like a scum formed over each eye; her
sight was almost gone, and she was reduced in flesh to quite a skeleton, with her general health
much impaired. We had her eyes treated by the very best physicians in Evansville, Hut., have
paid out a great deal of money, and after all their drugging she recived no relief. All the above
statements can be substantiated by respectable citizens of Hickman. She has been under your
reatment four weeks, and ami proud to say the inflammation is all gone. She can bear the light
as well as ever, and, in a word, her eyes are as good and healthy as could lie desired. We have
every reason to believe that if the afflicted generally, would give you a fair trial, they too,
M ould confirm our statements. It is a difflcult matter to induce thaafliictcd to set aside old fogy
principles in order to try new ones, which the rapid march of science is introducing every day.
My wife and I feel grateful to you, and have confidence in your skill, and little Augusta will
never cease to love you for restoring her sight. Your depoitnient in our family has always
been that of an attentive ard kind hearted gentleman. Your friend,

CANCER CURED OF NINETEEN YEARS STANDING.
_ . , Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 6,1870.
During the last nineteen years I have been tormented almost beyond human endurance with
a cancer in my right breast. I had tried in vain many cures, and had speni many thousand
dollars, and was finally given up by all the doctors in the South as hopeless, and was suffering
the pains of death daily; in this condition 1 persuaded Doctor < onnaughtoii to do what he could
for me. After using his mild vegetable remedies four weeks, my health was better and he had
removed the cancer. lie has taken me from the very brink of the grave. It is now four years
since I placed myself in the care of this great physician, and it is three and a half since I have
felt or seen anything of the cancer which hail tormented me day and night for nineteen years.

C’ase of OoiiNiuiiptioii Cured by Hr. Coimaiightoii.
Fkep. lIOEPPi.K, Esq., of Mkmphis.—Mr. Boepplo was advised by his physicians and friends
to consult Dr. Connaughton. His suffering consisted of a very severe attack of Consumption,
Dyspepsia, etc. When he came under l)r. Connaughton’s treatment, two months ago, he cough
i trc ? uen Gy, and was not ten minutes without coughing. During the time the sputa was
tinged with a good quantity of pure blood. Alter each.attackß Mr.. felt very much exhausted.
\\ lien he came under l)r. Connaughton’s observation he was very pale and emaciated; his voice
was coarse, suffering with night sweats, great shortness of breath, ai.d wus evidently in a hope

sixty years, le abandoned all hope of ever being cured, as several of the most eminent physi
cians in the country bad pronounced bis case incurable. Indeed so reduced and attenuated
was he when he placed himself under the care of Dr. C., that none of his physicians or friends
expected him to live exceeding a few weeks!—and others began to lament him us already lost
tobistainily and society. His cough continued until he consulted Dr. Connaughton, of New
Orleans, who enjoyed a wide reputation for curing Consumption.
Although Mr. Boepple was in a hopeless decline, he placed himself under the care of Dr. Con
naughton, wdio seems to be an acute observer, and in his knowledge of pathology and therapeu
tics, fa knowledge of diseases and their remedies) far in advance of the times. Under his treut-
B. soon began to exhibit signs of returning strength and health, and now, after t%vo
months’ treatment, although he seemed to his friends literally like one raised from the dead, he
is so far restored to health as to be able to attend to all his plantation duties, ride to town; and
he says he feels as strong and hearty as ever. All symptoms of pulmonary disease have dis
appeared.
Here, then, was a marked case of Tubercular Consumption, occupying six years in its period
of activity, and proviug beyond all doubt that Consumption is curable. If not, human testimo
ny is of no avail. All good men should cheer and encourage those afflicted with Consumption
to look on the bright side of the futuve—to make increased exertions for recovery and to fight
manfully for life.
Most of the prominent and responsible persons of Memphis are cognizant of Mr. F. Boepple’s
case.

WONBERFULL CURE—HOME EVIDENCE—FROM SOLOMON COTNER ESQ., A
RESPECTABLE MERCHANT OF TALLAHASSEE, FLA.
Tallahassee, Fla., Dec., 2, ’72.
P. Walter Conuaughton, M. D.,-Mt dear Sir— l consider it a sacred duty to render you
my sincere acknowledgements for the marvelous relief you have effected in my wife’s case.who
has been afflicted with a Chronic Female Disease in its worst form for several years, and will
mention that my only object in rendering you this statement is to call the attention of suffer
ers to your extraordinary method of vegetable treatment, and beg them to lay aside their prej
udices to try your skill, and be cured like my wife has been. I cheerfully give you this testi
mony, and hope it will con vert sceptics. The characteristic symptoms of my ■wife’s case are as
follows: Several months ago she took cold, was suddenly attacked with a complication of dis
eases peculiar to females; we tried all sorts ot patent medicines and expended considerable
sums of money with out any benefit. When you came to Tallahassee and promised us a cure,
I confess my confidence in its success was very small indeed, but I am thankful to an All-wise
Providence for ttie happy deliverence, and am anxious that others, who are similarly afflicted,
should be made acquainted with these facts, and at least give you a trial. If they do lam sure
they will bless the day and thank me for this statement.
My wife lias been under your skillful treatment only eight days. She is eomparitively well,
and your remedies have effected everything you promised with very little medicine, and your
medicines are harmless, effectual and immediate. Your “Herb or Vegetable System” of treat
ing disease is the most harmless, quick and perfect ever brought to my knowledge.
Dr. CL has always shown himself to be a perfect gentleman in my family.
Believe me, with the kindest regards, to be yours truly.

In a word, lam sound and well, and have increased in flesh thirty-five pounds. *My gereral
health is better than it has been f r years. Please accept the assurance ot my profound esteem
and lasting gratitude. You will do me an inestimable act of kindness by accepting the gold

A Cancer of 17 Years’ Standing Cured by my
Treatment.
Hickman, Ky., 1868.
I hereby certifiy toat I have been afflicted with a cancerous affection on my nose for the last
seventeen years. It first appeared as a small scab, which, alter an indefinite period of time,
would drop off, and re-appear slightly enlarged.
Dr. Connaughton examined my cancer and prouounced it curable. He applied his remedies,
which destroyed the cancer in thirty-six hours, with but very slight pain. 1 shall never cease
to be grateful to the Doctor lor curing my cancer, which for many years has caused me so much
anxiety of mind. It is now entirely healed up, and the place scarcely discoverable. The Doc
tor has the cancer in alchohol, which can be seen by calling on him at the Hotel, Hickman,
Kentucky. very respectfully, MRS. M. LACY.
Cure of Consumption.
Dr. Connatghton—Dear Sir:— Feeling thankful for the great benefit you have conferred on
me, I deem it a duty I owe you and the public to give a succinct statement of my disease and
your successful treatment of it.
Some six years since I contracted a Catarrh, which so rapidly undermined my health that I
was compelled to quit my farm and seek other employment, which somewhat improved me. I
returned to my farm, but took a severe cold, and the old complaint again attacked me in a
more aggravated and complicated form. My lungs become congested and affected with tuber
cles, and all the alarming symptoms of consumption made their appearance. I had sligt bleed
ing from the lungs, night sweats, an incessant, wearing, hacking cough, and was steadily los
ing flesh and strength. Six of the best physicians of this countv and two of Memphis treated me
successively, telling me I had consumption, and that not much could be done lor me beyond
what care and dietiog might accomplish.
The lust physician gave me a tonic, and told me little else could be done, except to keep my
self warm and dry. I was completely prostrated, and not able to work half the time. At this
distressing stage of my disease, and with little hope of citier myself or my friends, I went un
der your treatment, withour promise of cure, but merely an obligation on your part to do the
best you could. This was six weeks ago to-day. Almost lrom the first application I began to
improve, aud have gained so rapidly that my cough has ceased, the expectoration discontinued,
the weakness and soreness of my breast has subsided, aud my strength has steadily improved.
Furthermore,some five weeks since I weighed myself, though wtihout the intention of a test; my
friends aud acquaintances, re marking my healthy appearance of late, caused me to try the
scale again, and I was surprised and delighted to find I had gained twenty-seven pounds in the
space mentioned.
Hoping this statement may be the means of inducing other sufferers to give your system a fair
and impartial trial, I remain, yours truly. PAUL JONES.
4Ve, the undersigned, being personally acquainted with Mr. Jones, and cognizant of the facts,
cheerfully certify to the correctness of this statement.

From Sirs. N. A. Mefrea, of Fovfngton, Tennessee.
Dr. P. Walter Connaughton— Highly Esteemed Friend:—lt gives me great pleasure to l>e
able to write you that I am periectly cured of an old and lingering female disease of eleven
years’ standing. I cannot find words in the English language to express my gratitude for the
benefit which I have receive from your skillful treatment; be assured that I fully appreciate
your kindness as a gentleman, and honor you as a skillful physician and surgeon. I have gain
ed twenty-four pounds in flesh. I feel almost like a different being from what I was when I
common sed your treatment. I feel ten years younger.
My peace and prosperity attend you, and may kind angels guide and direct yon through life.
With many kind wishes for your health and happiness, I am your sincere friend,
SARAH A. McCRAE.
P. S.—Mrs. Peeler is improving rapidly; hits gained seventeen pounds. Indeed I think all
your patients who follow your directions are improving. S. A, M.
LeUnr from Mrs. Irene Henderson, Marshall Cos. Miss.
Dr. CoNnaughton— Highly Esteemed Friend: I have been afflicted and suffered more than a
hundred deaths with a disease that two-thirds of the ladies are afflicted with. I had abandoned
doctoring, a id was pronounced incurable, and hearing of and seeing so many wonderful cases
which your eminent skill had rcstored t I was induced to carefully peruse your circular on both
sides. ‘Through your circular and the influence of several of my lady friends, I became con
vinced that you must be a physician of extraordinary attainments. I visited you at your oflice
in Holly Springs, and soon realized everything stated in your circular and by my lady friends.
I resolved to try you any how, though other friends, In their misguided kindness, tried to dis
suade me from doing so.
You appeared to be extravagant in your charges, but regardless of expense I engaged treat
ment. Tou are the kindest, cheapest and best Doctor that I ever met, for yon have so perfectly
cured me that I feel ten years younger, aud, in a word, I am anew woman. I had spent SBOO
with bth *r doctors who did not relieve or cure me. I consider any (lisscae that you cannot cure,
incurable. With great regard, Mrs. I. H.
P. S.—Mrs. C. M. begs to be remembered kindly, and says she is improving very fast She
says all your lady patients, so far as she has heard, are well pleased and improving.
Dr. Con naught o n.
The immense numbers of invalids who have called upon DR. CONNAUHTON at the City Ho
tel since his arrival at this city, is the most substantial proof ef his reputation as a physician,
It is an old adage, that “ Where there is so much smoke,- there must be some fire,” aud we know of
our own knowledge that no surgeon ever came among us whose Consultation Parlors have
been thronged daily by such vast crowds of the afflicted from far and near. Why is Dr.
Connaughton successful? Ilecause he has studied Chronic Diseases and Surgery for a life
time, investigated every known remedy to science, has new remedies unknown fo the world,
treats every case according to the actual condition of the patient— his experience having extend
ed to terisot thousands cases—a greater experience than any other living man, and finally be
cause he selects his remedies for each case with such care; uses harmless vegetable agents,
and devotes his whole life and energies to making his practice successful, to get his patients
THOROUGHLY AND PERMANENTLY CURED.
Owing to the immense rush of r atients, the Doctor has been persuaded to change his office
hours to from eight in the morning to seyen in the evening. Come early to avoid the rash.—
