FUL CURE, Rocmrsten, N. Y., Jau. 13, 1874.—Dr, R. V. DPlerce, M. D,, Buffalo, N, Y.~Dgar Sia: I had suffered from Catarrh In an aggravated form for about twolve years, and for soversl yeara from Bronchial trouble, Tried many doctors aand things with no lasting benefit. In May, '72, be- coming noarly worn out with excesaive editorial Iabors oo a papor in New York City, I was at- tackod with Bronchitis in a severs form, suffer- ing almout & total loes of voice. I roturned howme hers, but baa been home only two weoks when I was completely prostrated with Hem- orrhage of the Lunge, haviog four severe bleed- ing spolls witliu two wooks, and firat three inside of nine daya, In the September following I im- proved sufliciently to bo abla to bo about, thongh in a very feoble stato, My Bronchinl trouble ro- mainod, and the Catarrh wan tenfold worse then befora. Lvory offort for relief seetmned fruitloes. 1 soomed to be loaing ground daily, 1 continued iu this feeblo state, ralsing Llood almost daily notil about the 1st of March, '73, when I bocame 80 bad as Lo be entiraly conflued to the Liouse. A friond suggested your romedics. But I was oxtremoly skeptical tbat thoy would do me good, a8 1 bad lost all hoart tn remedies, and began to look upon medicico and doctors with disgnst. Howevor, 1 obtained one of your circulars, and read 1t carofully, from which I eame to tho con- clusion that yon understood your business, st least. 1 fiually obiained o quantity of Dr. Sago's Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Modical Discovery and Pollety, tud commenced their vigorous uss according to directions, To my surprise, I soon commenced to improve. The Discovery and Pellcts in a short time brought out a sevoro eruption, which continued for soveral woeks, 1 felt much bottor, my appetite improved, and I gained in strongth and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was gone, the Bron- chitis hiad nearly disappoared, had mo cough whatever, and 1 lad entirely coased to raise blood ; and, contrary to tho expectations of somo of my friends, the curc hasremained permanent. I bave had no morp Leniorrhages from the lungs, and am entirely freo from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and 8o Jong. Tho dobt of gratitude I owe for tho blessing I have recoived ot your hauds knows no bounds. Iam thoroughly satleficd, from my experienco, that your medicines will master tho worst forms of that odious dlsease Catarrh, ns woll as Throat aud Lung Disoases. I hiave recommendod them to very many, and shall over speak in-their pralso. Gratofully yours, Wreniax I1. Srexcen, P, 0. Box 507, Rochestor, N. Y.
