TESTIMONIALS.

If the following letters had been written by your best known and most esteemed neighbors they could be no more worthy of your confidence than they now are, coming, as they do, from well known, intelligent, and trustworthy citizens, who, in their several neighborhoods, enjoy the fullest confidence and respect of all who know them.

Out of thousands of similar letters received from former patrons, we have selected these few at random, and have to regret that we can find room only for this comparatively small number in this volume.

BLEEDING FROM LUNGS, CONSUMPTION

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: (Before) C.H. HARRIS, ESQ.]

[Ill.u.s.tration: (After) C.H. HARRIS, ESQ.]

_Gentlemen_--I wish to say to you that Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery saved my life and has made me a man; my home-physician says I am good for forty years yet. You will remember that my case was a case just between life and death, and all of my friends were sure it was a case of death, until I commenced taking a second bottle of "Golden Medical Discovery," when I was able to sit up and the cough was very much better, and the bleeding from my lungs stopped, and before I had taken six bottles of the "Golden Medical Discovery" my cough ceased and I was a new man and ready for business.

And now I feel that it is a duty that I owe to my fellow-men to recommend to them the "Golden Medical Discovery" and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, which saved my life when doctors and all kinds of medicines failed to do me any good.

I will send to you with this letter two of my photographs; one was taken a few weeks before I was taken down sick in bed, and the other was taken after I was well.

Yours respectfully, C.H. HARRIS, No. 1622 Second Avenue, Rock Island, Ill.

SEVERE CHRONIC COUGH.

Wilbar, Wilkes Co., N.C.

DR. R.V. PIERCE, 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Dear Sir_--I cannot recommend your "Golden Medical Discovery" too highly. I had a severe chronic cough and I began to use that medicine and took only one bottle, and I have not been sick a day since. When I began to use your "Golden Medical Discovery" my weight was 104 pounds, and now I weigh 125 pounds.

Yours very truly, Mrs. Anna Parsons

SPITTING OF BLOOD. LUNG DISEASE.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: J.M. Hite, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--I can gladly recommend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to all suffering from diseases for which you recommend it. In the summer of 1888 I took a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and chest, and I suffered intensely with it. I tried several of our best physicians here and they gave up all hopes of my recovery, and my friends thought I would have to die, and I thought so myself, as the doctors did not know what was the matter with me. In the morning, on rising, I would cough and spit blood for two hours, and I was pale and weak and not able to work any. I then ran across Dr. Pierce's advertis.e.m.e.nt and I came to the conclusion I would try the "Golden Medical Discovery," as it was so highly recommended. I was greatly discouraged when I began the use of the "Discovery," but after I had taken four or five bottles I then noticed I was getting better, and I could stand it to work some, and kept on taking it till I took about twenty or twenty-five bottles. It has been five years since I took it and have had no return of that trouble since. I gladly recommend your medicine for I know it saved my life.

Yours respectfully, JOHN M. HITE, Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa.

LUNG DISEASE.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. McGill.]

Blue Rock, Muskingum Co., Ohio.

DR. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Dear Sir_--I feel like taking you by the hand and saying, "thank G.o.d, you have saved my wife," for we had given her up. We had sat by her, when the doctor said she could not live till morning; so bad was her lung disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cured her.

MR. THOMAS McGILL.

When her case was reported to the specialist of the Invalids' Hotel, Mrs. McGill was suffering from pain in the chest, struggling for breath, hard dry cough; jarring hurt the chest; short breath, backache; uterine disease, leucorrhea, menstruation scanty and painful; feet and ankles swollen; was confined to house most of the time; was given up by her home physician. Her disease began six years before with "lung disease"

which was followed by bleeding from lungs.

CURES WHEN COD LIVER OIL FAILS.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Gentlemen_--My wife a few years ago had hemorrhages of the lungs, and we summoned our home physician. He checked the hemorrhage but failed to cure her. She had also a terrible cough and expectorated a great deal.

She wanted to see another doctor so I called one and he examined her.

She asked him whether she had consumption, and his answer was, "Madam, it is very near consumption." He advised her to use cod liver oil, but this gave but little relief. I happened to get hold of one of your little books that comes with each bottle of Dr. Pierce's medicines and I read some cases about like my wife's. I went to the drug store and procured a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and my wife commenced using it according to directions. She began to get better right away and her cough has left her. She used about ten bottles. She is in her fifty-fifth year and can walk ten or twelve miles without any trouble. We are satisfied that her life and health have been saved by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." As soon as she takes any cold she insists upon having a bottle of her medicine, as she calls it, and that is the last we hear of her cold.

Yours respectfully, Joseph D. Wiles West Point Street, Frederick, Md.

MALARIA, CHILLS, AND LUNG DISEASE.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: R. Williams, Esq. ]

_Gentlemen_--It has been about eight months since I quit using Dr.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. When I commenced using it I only weighed 130 pounds. I had been suffering with malarial fever, chills, and lung disease for four years. I took treatment from many doctors, and tried many different kinds of patent medicines and all seemed to do no good. Since I have used four bottles of "Golden Medical Discovery" and one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets I feel well in every respect _and weigh 160 pounds instead of only 130_, my weight when I began its use.

Yours truly, ROBERT WILLIAMS, Hazelton, Barber Co., Kas.

CONSUMPTION.

ALMOST RAISED FROM THE GRAVE.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: MRS. VANSICKLIN.]

_Gentlemen_--I have long felt it my duty to acknowledge to you what your "Golden Medical Discovery "and "Pleasant Pellets" have done for me. They almost raised me from the grave. I had three brothers and one sister die of consumption, and I was speedily following after them. I had severe cough, pain, copious expectoration, and other alarming symptoms, and my friends all thought I had but a few months to live. At this time I was persuaded to try your "Discovery," and the first bottle acted like magic. Of course I continued on with the medicine, and as a result I gained rapidly in strength. My friends were astonished. When I commenced the use of your medicines, six years ago, I weighed but 120 and was sinking rapidly. I now weigh 135, and my health continues perfect. I have a copy of your "People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," and neither money nor friends could ever induce me to part with it.
