tify that in the year 1856, I had under my care a ease
uf Dropsy, which I directed tube placed tinder your
treatment. The above ease was placed under your
care and treatment, and in the space of six or seven
weeks you made a final cure. The above specified cose
has since been under my notice, but no sign of Dropsy
lias since been visible,! would therefore direct al! who
have the Dropsy to give you a trial, for 1 think your
medicine the greatest, ever discovered for Dropsy*

This is to certify that Mrs. Elizabeth Nixon sign

certify that we were acquainted with her condition
before she commenced taking Dr. Broom’s Anti-lly-
drophic Tincture, and so far as you know, all she
states iu the above certificate is true. She was en
tirely helpless, and dependent entirelv upon charity
for a support for herself nnd family. No one thought
that she could ever be relieved. She is now, to all ir>
pearanee, entirely well and able to work and suppo.

I had a negro man afflicted with Dropsy. I gave him
Broom’s Anti-Hydropic Tincture, which I believe ef
fected a permanent cure. This negro was treated by
other physicians, but to no effect, and I cheerfully re
commend any one who has the Dropsy to try Broom's
Anti-Hydropie Tincture.
