_Gentlemen_--It gives me pleasure to express my faith in the virtue of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Having suffered for three years from salt-rheum and after having been unsuccessfully treated by a good physician, I began the use of the "Discovery." The humor was in my hands. I was obliged to keep a covering on them for months at a time, changing the covering morning and night. The stinging, burning and itching sensation would be so intense that at times it seemed as if I would go crazy. When I bent the fingers the flesh would crack open and bleed. It is impossible for me to describe the intense pain and suffering which I endured night and day. After taking six bottles of the "Discovery" I was entirely cured.
Respectfully yours, MISS LOTTIE CLARK, River Falls, Pierce Co., Wis.

_Gentlemen_--I desire to state that I am perfectly well and very thankful to you for curing me. The medicines which I used for two months only have effected a perfect and permanent cure of my case. My face looks as well as ever.
I was six weeks under treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, and I got first-class accommodation.
The case was a strange one. The pimples did not break out on my chin where I had let my beard grow, they broke out on my cheeks, forehead and nose. A doctor in San Francisco told me it was blood poison and said it was very hard to cure it. I think if it were blood poison it would run all through my system. When I first felt the disease coming on in winter--my face used to be very cold. I worked under the sun fourteen years every summer. I wore no hat--nothing but a skull cap. I thought I was sun-proof. The doctor in San Francisco stopped the disease for one year but it came back again. I had it for five years. It came on from hard work and exposure in the sun.
When my face would break out in the fall it got so itchy, and then little pimples would break out on my face, nose and forehead. I think parasites were in my face. If I would drink a glass of beer, I would feel the effects of it in my face, and tobacco would affect me just the same. My face, nose and forehead would be spotted all over like a "fiddler's note book," every fall for five years. I never saw a case like mine. The doctor said if I would get tanned with the sun I would be all right.
In the kind of work I had to do, I could wear no hat.
Respectfully yours, MICHAEL ALLEN, Oro Fino, Siskiyou Co., Cal.
CURES BROWN SPOTS.

_Gentlemen_--I can say that my health is better now than for the last fifteen years. I cannot say what my disease was, but I was as spotted as a leopard with brown spots; I was so miserable and nervous, and could not sleep. I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery one year, and the brown spots all disappeared and I am well. Have not taken any medicine in two years. I think the "Golden Medical Discovery" a splendid medicine for stomach, liver and skin disease. I got no help from the other doctors. I used only the "Golden Medical Discovery."
Yours truly, MRS. WILLIAM JOHNSON, P.O. Box 188, Owosso, Shiawassee Co., Mich.

_Dear Sirs_--I was sick eight long years with the scrofulous humor and I used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it cured me. I used five bottles and I have used it since for other troubles. It has helped me wonderfully, in fact cured me, and I recommend it to all my friends
Yours most gratefully, MRS. MARY E. NICHOLS Bay Shore, Suffolk Co., N.Y.
"HEART-RENDING TO BEHOLD".
Terrible Suffering from Skin Disease.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Gentlemen_--My baby when about three months old began to have little sores come out on his face; did not amount to much until six months old, then they began to spread all over his face and head until his face, head and ears were one solid sore. Our family physician was summoned at the early stages of the disease and tried everything he knew of for the cure of the same, but nothing did him any good. The disease baffled the skill of the doctor in every way, and I was advised by friends to try certain remedies, which I did, with very little effect. The child by this time was a heart-rendering sight to behold, and suffered unknown agonies with the torturing itching and burning of the sores, and so things ran on until my brother, who resides in Buffalo, visited me. As soon as he saw the child he advised me to have him treated at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo. I wrote to them stating my baby's case, asking them if they could help him, and they thought they could, so began their treatment at once by using salves externally and medicine internally and as soon as they began their treatment the child began to improve and continued so until he was entirely cured in six months' time. He is now two years and six months old and is as tough as any child you ever saw; weighs thirty-five pounds and is perfectly well, thanks to Dr. Pierce and his wonderful medicines.
Yours truly, MRS. A.L. PAYNE, Box 147; Oxbow, Jefferson Co., N.Y.
SCROFULOUS ABSCESSES.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, 663 Main St., Buffalo, N.Y.
[Illustration: Mrs. Sweeney.]
_Gentlemen_--About four years ago I took scrofula, and did everything that doctors and others prescribed, but only got worse. Several abscesses formed about my neck and breast, discharging a quantity of matter. I got so weak I could scarcely walk about the house. I read all the medical works I could get hold of, and, among the rest, read some of your works. You described my case, and recommended Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with his "Pleasant Pellets." So I procured some and commenced using them and soon began to mend. In six months my sores were all healed up, and in twelve months _I was entirely well_. I am forty-five years old and believe I am as stout as I ever was in my life.
I used about one dozen bottles of the "Golden Medical Discovery" with the "Pellets," and used nothing else after I began using your medicines.
So I must give your medicine all the praise for curing me, and I am bound to recommend it.
Yours truly MRS. BELLE SWEENEY, Flat Top, Mercer Co., W. Va.

_Gentlemen_--I am happy to certify to your skill. I had been afflicted with badly crossed eyes from my birth, and my sight was impaired, and I was badly disfigured. By a painless operation my eyes were instantaneously restored to a proper position and my sight much improved.
Your Hotel and skillful surgery merit every recommendation.
Yours truly, DAVID CRANE, Spring Creek, Warren Co. Pa.
SCROFULOUS SORE EYES.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, 663 Main St., Buffalo, N.Y.:
[Illustration: Miss Gardner.]
_Gentlemen_--When I was two years old my eyes broke out in little white pimples and itching all the time in the mornings; when I awakened my eyes would have to be washed open; I could not see and when they were washed open the corruption would run down my face and drop off. I have tried all of our physicians and their medicine did me no good. A physician attended them from Ellicott City and did them no good. He said it was the running scrofula in the eyelids and could never be cured; it had continued fourteen years, and I had given up all hopes of ever being cured until I saw your advertisement of the "People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," and I sent and got one, and I saw a great deal in it about the eyes. I wrote to you about them and you prescribed for me. Now my eyes are quite well. Some advised me to wear glasses, but you said not. I have been a great sufferer but am glad to say you did me all the good that I have received.
Respectfully yours, MISS VIRGINIA M. GARDNER, Mayo, Anne Arundel Co., Md.
