KAUFMAN. i.iul tt 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.
