Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
I HAVE been saying a good deal through the
papers of lute extolling JORDAN’S JOYOUS
JULEP as a most wonderful NEURALGIA CURE;
but for fear you may exclaim as SJiakspeare
when ho said “You cram these words into mine
ear against the stomach of my sense,” I now sub*
mit to you wlint persons nay who have tried mv
Neuralgia Julep, with the moat complete and
Halls factory result:
Columbus, January 16, 1875.
Mr.Jordan:—l take great pleasure in recom*
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
hits produced a most wonderful relief in outi ox
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has bad. Hho has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the usual remedies with little sue*
crus. I can with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two (lavs since we began
the use of it, and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
PETKlisßtJno, Va., Jan. 15, 1875.
Jno. L. Jordan, Esq., Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Kir—Having learned through my friend
It. A. Bacon of your “J. J. J." preparation l'or re
lief of neuralgia, and tested it with perfect suc
cess iu my own family, in the worst case, too,
that ever came under my observation, I now
enclose fifty cents for a second bottle, as I con
sider it too valuable a medicine to be without,
though I have no immediate use for it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. g, 1874.
l)r. J. L. Jordan: Dear Sir—Your Joyous Julep
for Neuralgia has beeu tried iu my family, and
with the most happy result,and 1 find in it all you
claim for its virtue. And I unhesitatingly re
commend it to uil who are suffering from Neural
gia as something a little remarkable in its cura
tive power. J. D. WORTHY.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 18,1874.
Dr. J. 1,. Jordan —Your medicine, Joyous
Julep, is without an equal for Neuralgia. Having
been a great sufferer from the pain, and having
tried the prescriptions of many physicians, yet
all proved of no effect until I tried four doses
of your Julep, when I was immediately relieved,
and have not been troubled since.
H. 0. MADDOX.
Lake City, Fla., Nov. 4, 1874.
Dr. ./. L. Jordan —Please send me uuother bot
tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. 1 have
never found anything equal to it for Neuralgia.
Two doses cured mo almost instantly, and I can
safely recommend it to do wliat you say.
Very respectfully, &c.,
JOHN M. JEFFRYB.
Fkhnandina, Fla.. April, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan, Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Dir—lt affords me pleasure to add my tes
timony to the efficacy of your “Jordan’s Joyous
Julep,” in giving instant relief in Neuralgia; and
to all appearance, as effective as instantaneous.
I was effected daily with Neuralgia, and since,
taking a few teaspooufuls of your relief, two or
more weeks have elapsed, and there arc no indi
cations of return. I hope that the human fam
ily will raceive a benefit commensurate with the
importance of your discovery, ami tbut your
pecuniary reward will bo equal to its well de
served merits. Yours, respectfully,
MRS. L, DOZIER.
Price 60c. Liberal discount to the trade.
