The following certifi cates, selected from a large number, are, however, stronger testimony than the mere word of the pro- rietors ; and are all from gentlemen well known n their localities, and of the highest respectabili- ty, many of them residing in the city of Rich- mond, Va. F. BOYDEN, Esq., of the Exchange Hotel, Richniond, known everywhere, says he has seen the Medicine called CaztTer’s Spanisa Mix- TURE, administered in over a hundred cases, in nearly all the diseases for which it is recommend- ed, with the most astonishingly good results. He Says it is the most extraordinary medicine he has ever seen. AGUE AND FEVER—GREAT CURE—1 hereby certify that for three years I had Ague and Fever of the most violent description. 1 had sev- eral Physicians, took large quantities of Quinine, Mercury, and I believe all the Tonics advertised, but all ‘without permanent relief. At last I tried Carter’s Spanish Mixture, two bottles of which effectually cured me, and I am nappy to say I have had neither chills or fevers since. I con- sider it the best Tonic in this world, and the only medicine that ever reached my case. JOHN LONGDEN. Braver Ditcn, near Richmond, Va. C. B. LUCK, Esq., now in the city of Rich- mond, and for many years in the Post Office, has such confidence in ihe astonishing efficacy of Car- ter’s Spanish Mixture, that he bought up- wards of 55 bottles, which he has given away to the afflicted. ~ Mr. Luck says he has never known it to fail when taken according to directions. Dr. MINGE,a | ect Physician, and for- merly of the City Hotel, in the city of Richmond, says he has witnessed in a number of instances the effects of Carter's Spanish Mixture, which were most truly surprising. He says in a case of Consumption, dependent on the Liver, the good effects were wonderful indeed. SAMUEL M. DRINKER, of the firm of Drin- ker & Morris, Richmond, was cured of Liver Complaint of three years standing, by the use of two bottles of Carter's Spanish Mixture. GREATCURE OF SCKOFULA—The Edi- tors of the Richmond Kepublican had a servant employed in their press room, cured of violent Serofala, combined with Rheuraatism, which en- tirely disabled him from work. Two bottles of Carter's Spanish Mixture made a perfect cure of him, and the Editors, in a public notice, say they “cheerfully recommend it to all who are afflicted with any disease of the blood.”’ STILL ANOTHER CURE OFSCROFULA.

SALT RHEUM OF TWENTY YEARS STANDING CURED.—Mr. JOHN THOMP- SON, residing in the city of Richmond, was cured by three hotties of Carter's Spanish Mixture, of Salt Rheum, which he had for nearly twenty years, and which all the physicians of the city could not cure. Mr. Thompson is a well known merchant in the city of Richmond, and his cure is most remarkable. WM. A. MATTHEW S, of Richmond, had a servant cured of Syphilis, in the worst form, by Carter's Spanish Mixture. He says he cheerfully recommends it, and considers {t a very invaluable medicine. EDWIN BURTON, commissioner of the reve- nue, says he has seen the good effects of Carter's Spanish Mixture ina number of Syphilitic cases, and says it is a perfect cure for that horrible dis- ease. WM. G. HARWOOD, of Richmond, cured of old Sores and Uloers, which disabled him from walking.
