Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specilie for Neuralgia.
I HAVE been Raying a good deal through the
I papers of lato extolling JORDAN’S JOYOUS
JULEP as a must wonderful NEURALGIA CURE;
but for fear you may exclaim as Shakapeare
when he said “You cram these words into mine
ear against the stomach of my sense,” I now sub
mit to you what persons say who have tried my
Neuralgia Julep, with tho most complete aud
satisfactory result;
Columbus, January 16, 1875.
Mr.Jordan:— l take great pleasure iu recom
mending your JoyouH Julep for neuralgia,
lias produced a most wonderful relief in one oj
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever lias had. She has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the usual remedies with little suc
cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since we began
tlie use of it, ami it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
Petermiiubo, Va., Jan. 15, 1875.
Jno. 1.. Jordan, Esq., Columbus, Ga.:
Dour Sir—Having learned through my friend
R. A. Bacon of your "J. J. J.” preparation for re
lief of neuralgia, and tested it with perfect suc
cess in my own family, in the worst case, too,
that ever came under my observation, I now
cue lose fifty cents for a second bottle, as I con
sider it too valuable a medicine to be without,
though I have no immediate use fur it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. q, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan: Dear Kir—Your Joyous Julep
for Neuralgia has been tried In my family, and
with tlie most happy result,and I find iu it all you
claim for its virtue. Ami I unhesitatingly re
commend it to all who are suffering from Neural
gia as something a little remarkable in its cura
tive power. J. D. WORTHY.
Oolumiiuh, Oa., Dec. 18,1874.
Dr. 1. L. Jordan— Your medicine, Joyous
Julep, is without an equal for Neuralgia. Having
been a great sufferer from the pain, aud having
tried tlie prescriptions of many physicians, yet
all proved ol no effect until 1 tried four doses
of your Julep, when I was immediately relieved,
and have not been troubled since.
S. C. MADDOX.
Lake City, Fla., Nov. 4. 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan —Please send ine another bot
tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. I have
never found anything equal to it lor Neuralgia.
Two doses cured urn almost instantly, and 1 can
safely recommend it to do what you say.
Very respectfully, &c.,
JOHN M. JEFFRYS.
Fernandina, Fla., April, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan, Columbus, Ga.:
Dear lir—lt affords me pleasure to add my tes
timony to the efficacy of your “Jordan’s Joyous
Julep,” in giving iustant relief in Neuralgia; aud
to all appearance, as effective as instantaneous.
I was effected daily with Neuralgia, and since
taking a few teaspooultils of your relief, two or
more weeks have elapsed, and there are uo indi
cations of return. I hope that the human fam
ily will raceive a benefit commons urate with the
importance of your discovery, and that your
pecuniary reward will he equal to its well de
served merits. Yours, respectfully,
MRS. L. DOZIER
