My wife has been afflicted with a terrible form of Scrofula for over fifteen years. Phy sicians exhausted their skill, and numerous patent medicines were used without benefit. Her condition grew worse—her appetite failed, attended with debility, emaciation, falling out of the hair and a frightful breaking out of the skin. Her bones became very much dis eased and painful (some calling it white swell ing), with sleepless nights and a general feel ing of horror. Some friends said that B. B. B. would cure her. I procured it and placed her upon Its use, and to the utter astonishment of all who knew her, the recovery was rapid and complete. It acted as a powerful tonic, gave her a splendid appetite and acted upon the kidneys. A few bottles did the work. The action of B. B. B. was decidedly quick, and the medicine cost but little. I advise my friends to use It as a blood purifier. Yours truly, R. M. LAWSON. Blood Poison. Mr. A. P.

He secured B. B. 8., the concentrated quick cure, and five bottles healed the ulcers, relieved his pain, cured liis kidneys, restored his appetite, and made him a healthy, happy man.

Instead of improving or getting any relief, she gradually grew worse, and I had almost given up hope, and really did not believe she would ever get up from an invalid’s bed; but a friend of mine who knew of the case suggested the use of Bradfield’s Female Regulator, and although he stated that he knew of a similar case being cured by it, and endorsed it highly himself, I was so discouraged I did not believe it would do her any good; but as a last resort! bought a large bottle of it. and she began taking it, and from tne very first a marked change took place. She begun to improve rapidly, her appetite returned, her whole system was built up, snd to-day she is as well and sound as ever in her life, and I am under lifelong obligations to you and your remedy, for it undoubtedly saved her life;” and he added, “I wish every lady in the world so af flicted would try it, as I know it cure them.” We Claim and can Prove Beyond a Doubt, by the highest and most undoubted testimony, That this Remedy will cure all womb troubles.
