Whittier, of Lowell, Mass., who suffered terri- bly from scrofulous sores; that of Charles A. Roberts, of East Wilson, N. ¥.. who had thirteen abscesses on his face and neck; that of Willie Duff, of Walpole, Mass., who had hip disease and scrofula so bad that phy- j sicians said he could not recover, are 40 cents cash will get the Tres | 8 few in the many instances in which from now until after the election. i wonderful cures were effected by this medicine.
