bly compensated for our trouble. On the receipt

Joseph H. Broom, Esq.—Dear Sir : This is to cer
tify that in the year 1856, l had under my care a case
of Dropsy, which I directed tube placed mideryour
treatment. The above case was placed under your
care and treatment, and in the space of six or seven
ks you made a final cure. The above specified ease
has since been under my notice, but no sign ol Dropsy
has since been visible, i would therefore direct all who
have the Dropsy to give you a trial, for I tLink vour
— J: -iue the greatest ever discovered for Dropsy.
Yours respectfully,

This is to certify that Mrs. Elizabeth Nixon sign
ed the above certificate in our presence.—We further
certify that we were acquainted with her condition
before she commenced taking Dr. Broom’s Anti-IIy-
drophie Tincture, nnd so far as you know, all she
states in the above certificate is true. She wns en
tirely helpless, and dependent entirely upon charity
for a support for herself and family. No one thought
that she could ever bo relieved. She is now, to all a->
pearance, entirely well and able *o work and suppo.

other physicians, but to no effect, nnd I cheerfully re
commend any one who has the Dropsy to try Broom’s
Anti-Hvdropie Tincture.
