DESPONDENCY.
NERVOUS PROSTRATION--THREATENED WITH CONSUMPTION.

[Illustration: H. Cummins, Esq.]
_Gentlemen_--I have felt inclined to say to you, and your whole staff of physicians, and now do convey to you, my heart-felt gratitude for your able and skillful assistance rendered me in my afflictions. I had been for years a sufferer, and at times nearly despondent. I had been treated by the most able and skillful physicians that this north-western country could provide. I had paid them large sums of money and was finally given to understand that there was no hope for my cure. Your advertisements fell into my hands, which treated upon my case. I read and compared my case with the insight you so ably explained, so I was satisfied you understood your profession well. I started full of hope and as I reached Buffalo, after three days' travel by rail, some 1,500 miles, there was something that cheered me on. I made my way to your Invalids' Hotel. I was examined and pronounced curable. I was operated upon for a local affection that caused much of my suffering, the same day I arrived, and in ten days was discharged permanently cured. I have felt perfectly well ever since. I was nicely treated by the able nurses and attendants who were always gentle and kind.
I can cheerfully say to the public, that they need not hesitate in throwing themselves into your kind care in every case that is curable by the hand of man, and you will treat them honestly.
Hoping this may be of some benefit to some afflicted persons who may feel some diffidence in trusting themselves in your hands.
Yours respectfully, H. CUMMINS, Eagle Lake, Blue Earth Co., Minn.
LUNG DISEASE.

_Gentlemen_--I am much better, and believe it was through your medicine and advice that I am as well as I am. I might have been entirely well if I had been able to have kept the medicine to take as directed. I have taken only four bottles, and it would be four or five months from the time I would take one bottle till I could get another one. I can talk better, and feel almost like a new person to what I did two years ago. I weigh more and can do any kind of work. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the only medicine that did me any good.
Your friend, MRS. RACHEL D. FISHER, Silver Point, Putnam Co., Tenn.
CHILLS AND LINGERING COUGH

_Gentlemen_--In 1879 I wrote you after suffering eighteen months. I had tried three doctors--took over one dozen bottles of patent medicines, without relief.
I had chills with hacking cough; my friends said I had consumption; was reduced in flesh and nerve till the least work or exercise would exhaust me completely.
Thanks for the day I wrote you, for I sent you ten dollars, and received four bottles of medicine which I took, and have been able to do hard work. I have never had any symptoms of those dreaded chills since. My weight got as low as 135 pounds; now I weigh 175 pounds. I would advise any one affected with chronic disease to consult you, as your treatment is genuine.
Yours truly, HENRY DIETZEL, P.M.

HEREDITARY CONSUMPTION.
HOME DOCTORS OPPOSED HIS COMING TO US (THEY OFTEN DO) ALTHOUGH UNABLE TO HELP HIM THEMSELVES.

[Illustration: J.F. Jones, Esq. ]
_Gentlemen_--For the benefit of the afflicted, I wish to say, that I visited your Institution in 1889, completely broken down in health and suffering, as I thought, from heart disease and consumption. I had spent money with many of our home physicians, but they only gave me partial relief and I would soon be worse than ever. When I spoke of coming to you, the doctors here cried "humbug," but I told them I had been humbugged at home and if I staid I would surely die, and if I went could do no worse. I spent thirty days at your Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, and came away like a new man, comparatively speaking. I found the Institution all it had been represented, and I may truthfully say, that the time spent there was to me as an oasis in a desert to a weary and thirsty traveler; for those were among the happiest days of my life.
No pains were spared to make each patient comfortable and at home. I cannot recommend your Institution too highly, for I feel that to your treatment I owe my life. I have sold a great deal of your medicines, and recommend them with the same faith I would water to the thirsty. They, the "Pellets," "Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription,"
give universal satisfaction. You are at liberty to use this as you desire, for my only motive in writing is to benefit the afflicted, by pointing out to them a place of cure; for, no matter what their disease, I am confident that if medical skill can avail, they can be cured at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
Yours truly, J.F. JONES, Raleigh C.H., Raleigh Co., W. Va.
ABSCESS OF LUNG. REDUCED ALMOST TO A SKELETON.
Bisbee, Cochise Co., Ariz.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
_Gentlemen_--I had been confined to my bed four months, had tried the skill of four doctors and all the patent medicines that were recommended for my case, which was an abscess on the lung. My physicians and friends had given me up to die; I was reduced to a perfect skeleton; my strength was gone; my eyesight was so dim I could scarcely see at all, and I had no appetite--could not eat anything at all when I commenced using Doctor Pierce's Family Medicines. I have taken sixteen bottles of the "Golden Medical Discovery," twelve bottles of "Pellets" and three bottles of "Favorite Prescription," and to-day I am well and strong and weigh 128 pounds--two pounds more than I ever before weighed in my life.
Your true friend, Mrs. Sarah A. Kelly
LUNG DISEASE.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Gentlemen_--My daughter had pneumonia and it left her with a horrible cough and one lung was almost gone; our doctor seemed to think there could be nothing more done, and said to go South; but not having the means at that time, I began giving her Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which she took steadily for two years. During that time she gained rapidly in strength; the lungs became normal, the cough leaving her entirely. We are never without this medicine in the house, and have recommended it to all our friends, and I am positively certain that if Dr. Pierce's medicine is used in time, it will cure in other cases as well as in this one.
Yours respectfully, MRS. RUTH A. SICKLES, Ocean Port, Monmouth Co., N.J. (Box 33.)
REDUCED TO A SKELETON.

_Gentlemen_--Having felt it a duty to write of the good I received by taking your medicine, I now would say, that one year ago I was given up by my family physician and friends; all said I must die. My lungs were badly affected, and body reduced to a skeleton. My people commenced to give me your "Medical Discovery" and I soon began to mend. It was not long before I became well enough to take charge of my household duties again. I owe my recovery to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Respectfully yours, MRS. MIRA MILLS, Sardis, Big Stone Co., Minn.
