with that loathsome disease, the Dropsy, to delay
no time in giving us a call. Remember the old
proverb, “Procrastination is the thief of time ’"
We will visit patients when desired and reasona
bly compensated for our trouble. On the receipt
of ten dollars we will forward to any Railroad de

Joseph H. Itrooin, Esq.—Dear Sir : This is to cer
tify that in tho year 1856, I lind under my care a case
of Dropsy, which I directed to be placed underyour
treatment. The above case was placed under your
care nnd treatment, and in the space of six or seven
weeks von made a final cure. The above specified case
lias since been under mv notice, but no sign of Dropsy
has since been visible,! would therefore direct all who
have the Dropsy to give you a trial, for I think your
medicine the greatest ever discovered for Dropsy.
Yours respectfully,

before she commenced taking Dr. Broom’s Anti-Hv-
drophic Tincture, nnd so far as you know, all she
states in the above certificate is true. She was en
tirely helpless, and dependent entirely upon charity
for a support for herself ami family. No one thought
that she could ever be relieved. i$he is now, to all a”
