J. S. Metcalfe, SS, Highga e, Kendall nave always great pleasure in recommending the Curative Syrup, for I have never known a case in which it has not relieved or cured, and have sold many grosses. : Robt. G. Gould, 27, High Stieet, Andover —I have always taken a great interest in your medicines, and I have recommended them, as I have found numerous cases of cure from their use. . Robt. Laine, Melksham :—I can well re cmmend the Curative Syrup from having proved its efficacy for indigestion myself Friockheim, Arbroath, Forfarshire, Sept. 23, 1882. . Dear Sir, —Last year I sent you a letter re. commending Mother Seigei’s Syrup. I have very .much pleasure in still bearing testimony jo the very satistactory results of the famed Syrup and Pills. Most patent medicines die out with me, but Moher Seigei’s has had a steady sale ever since I commenced, and is still in as great demand as when I first began to sell the medicine; The cures which have come under my notice are chiefly those of liver com plaint and general debility. A certain minister in my ’neghborhood says tis the only thing which has be efited him inct restored him to his normal condition oa health after being unable to fHHfe Al • Mb* siderable length of time. 1 coiua mcuiiun auo a great many other cases, but space would not allow. A near friend of mine, who is very much addicted to costiveness, or custipation, finds that Mother Seigel’s Pills are the only spills which suit his complaint. All other pills cause a reaction which is very annoying. Mother’s Seigei’s Pills do not leave a bad after* ~ et, 1 have much pleasure in commending _ v to suffering humanity Mother Seigel’s Heines, which are no sham-. If this letter is of any service you can publish it, • Yours very truly, (Signed) William S. Glass, Chemist. A. J.JWhite, Esq. Thomas Chapman. West Auckland: —1 find that the trade steadily increases. I sell more ot. your medicines than any other kind. N. Danoll, Quo, Salop:—All who buy it are pleased, and recommend it. Jos. Balkwill, A.P.S., Kingsbridge:—The nblic seem to appreciate their great value. A. Armste d. Market Street, L’alton-in Furness:—lt is needless for me to say that your valuable medicines have great sale in this dis tinct—greater than any other I know of, giving great satisfaction. 15th August, 1883. Dear Sir, —I write to teU you that Mr Hy Hillier, of Vatesbury, Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor’s medicine without the slightest benefit; and declares Mother SeigeTs Syrup which he got from me ln» saved his life. Yours truly, (Signed) N. Webb, Chemist, Cain. Mr White. » *
