TERRIBLE DYSPEPSIA CURED.

[Ill.u.s.tration: MRS. LUKE COOK.]

Mrs. LUKE COOK, of _Grove, Newaygo Co., Michigan_, writes:

"I had been ill for five years. My symptoms were pain in the stomach and bowels; could eat nothing but stale bread and tea or coffee. Meat and vegetables pa.s.sed through the bowels undigested in about two hours, causing great pain. I was all "run-down." Tongue looked like a piece of raw meat. One doctor p.r.o.nounced my case cancer of the stomach. I took treatment from five different physicians with but very little benefit--only temporary relief. I got so weak I could scarcely walk around, and suffered terrible agony. After taking fifteen bottles of Dr.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, I am well and able to do my own work, and frequently walk two miles and back the same day. I am now sixty-eight years old."

INDIGESTION, CATARRH, AND NERVOUSNESS.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, NO. 663 Main St., Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: E.A. BALDWIN, ESQ.]

_Gentlemen_--For a long time I was suffering from indigestion, catarrh and nervousness. I was so run down that I could not go to school, and, as the various remedies I tried did me no good, I applied to you, and was advised to try a course of special treatment. After taking only two months' medicines from your n.o.ble inst.i.tution, I feel perfectly restored to health. I have, moreover, recovered my lost flesh, and I am pleased to say need no further medicines.

Yours truly, E.A. BALDWIN, Proctorsville, Windsor Co., Vermont.

GENERAL DEBILITY, MALARIA, SICK HEADACHE.

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

[Ill.u.s.tration: T.L. Hall, Esq. ]

_Gentlemen_--I am happy to say that your valuable medicine has been a great benefit to me. I was suffering from general debility, malaria and nervous sick headaches, and after my third child was born (a beautiful baby boy of ten pounds) I only recovered after a long illness; I barely gained strength enough in two years' time so that I was able to crawl about to accomplish the little housework that I had, by lying down to read many times each day; had sick headaches very often; and many pains and aches, all the time complaining of getting no better. I finally asked my husband to get a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which he promptly did. After I had taken one bottle I could see a great change in my strength, and fewer sick headaches.

I continued taking the medicine until I had taken eight bottles--seven of the "Favorite Prescription" and one of the "Golden Medical Discovery." For some time past I have not used it, but I am now able to do the housework for myself, husband and two children (aged nine and five years). I also take in dressmaking, and enjoy walking a mile at a time, and I think it is all due to the medicine, for I know I was only failing fast before I commenced to take it. I take great pleasure in recommending the "Favorite Prescription" to all women who suffer from debility and sick headache.

Respectfully yours, MRS. J.H. LANSING, Fort Edward, Washington Co., N.Y.

MALARIAL FEVER.

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

[Ill.u.s.tration: Miss McConell.]

_Gentlemen_--My little girl, eleven years old, took malarial fever and lay 22 days in fever. Our family doctor was tending her twice a day; she got no better; I sent unbeknown to the doctor and got one bottle of Dr.

Pierce's Pellets, and one bottle of his "Golden Medical Discovery," and commenced to give them to her as directed; after taking the medicine three days, the fever began to go down, and the doctor came in and said: "what's the matter?" "Ida, you have no fever this morning," and laughed.

Then I told him I had been giving Dr. Pierce's medicines. He didn't say a word--he was beaten. My oldest daughter is improving by taking Dr.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

Yours respectfully, MRS. ELIZABETH McCONELL, Payne, Paulding Co., O.

GENERAL DROPSY.

TAPPING AND MEDICATION CONQUERS THE DISEASE AFTER IT HAD RUN 22 YEARS.

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

[Ill.u.s.tration: E.L. Waters, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--I wish to acknowledge that you have cured me of the worst dropsy that ever came within my knowledge, it having afflicted me twenty-two years. After I had suffered much from other surgeons without any cure being effected, and with only relief for a short time, you performed a not only painless but very scientific operation, and with medicine completed the cure. It is now five years since you treated me and no symptoms of the disease have shown themselves. I will also add that while with you at the Invalids' Hotel I received the best of care and attention from the well trained nurses in your employ, for all of which I feel grateful.

With respect and best wishes, EDWIN L. WATERS, ATHOL CENTRE, Ma.s.s.

REDUCED TO A SKELETON.

CHRONIC DIARRHEA--DYSPEPSIA CURED BY TWO MONTHS' SPECIAL HOME-TREATMENT.

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

[Ill.u.s.tration: J.T. Yerby, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--To all sufferers from chronic diseases I want to say that I suffered for six years, and was under fourteen different doctors in city and country. They could not reach my case; I was given up to die; my sufferings were _indescribable_; I could not retain food on my stomach; could not control my bowels at times; suffered great pain; could not sleep at night; I was reduced to a _skeleton_; in health I weighed 180; then only 111; I now weigh as much as I did before I was sick. I am sixty years old, but feel young and active; I owe it to the medicines you sent to me. After taking it two months I was out of bed attending to my work; my friends could hardly believe it was I when they would meet me out away from home. I consider my cure as almost miraculous.

Respectfully, JOS. T. YERBY, White Stone, Lancaster Co., Va.

CHRONIC DIARRHEA.

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

[Ill.u.s.tration: I.G. Hamilton, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--It is now nine years since I was afflicted with the above disease, which reduced me to a mere skeleton, and my friends had very little hope of my recovery. After trying different doctors, and many other remedies for a year, from which I received little or no benefit, I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's special treatment, which I did, and after two months I was a well, strong, healthy man, and have been ever since.

Yours, etc., ISAAC G. HAMILTON, Baie Verte, Westmoreland Co., N.H.

DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION.

KIDNEY DISEASE AND RUPTURE.

[Ill.u.s.tration: A.N. Kingsley, Esq.]

The following is from the widely-known and popular proprietor of the Kingsley House at Ashuelot, N.H.: "It may seem useless to add testimony to the overwhelming ma.s.s already given of the many remarkable cures performed at your Inst.i.tution, but I deem it a pleasure and a duty to add mine to your long list as _very remarkable_. I had a rupture of twenty-seven years' standing, with hemorrhage of the kidney for six months, preceding my visit to your Inst.i.tute, and was also troubled badly with indigestion, all of which ailments had reduced me in strength and flesh to a mere skeleton. Had been treated by many local physicians, who failed to do me any good. I could walk but a very short distance when I left my home on the 8th of July, 1892, for treatment at your Inst.i.tution, with but little faith or hope of ever being any better. But through your skillful treatment I was able to return to my home on the 9th of August, 1892, and consider myself permanently cured, having had to take no medicine since. Considering my case _almost a miracle_, I cannot speak too highly of your Inst.i.tute and skillful treatment, to which I feel that I am indebted for my continued existence. You are at liberty to refer to me, and to use this as you see fit.

Very respectfully, A.N. KINGSLEY, Ashuelot, Cheshire Co., N.H."
