I had before tried several advertised nostrums but without success. Aocept my grati tude." SMITH'S ANTIBILIOUS AND LIVER PILLS The best Aperient known, Tonic Alterative, and Purifying, containing no Mercury. Extract from letter: —" Sir—l haveg reat pleasure in stating that through the aid of your Antibilious and Liver Pills (using one or two doses a week) I have been restored from intense suffering, arising from torpid liver, loss of rest and appetite, nervousness and general disarrangement, to the possession of perfect health. I also observe that the Pills have a marked diuretic effect, giving great relief to the kidneys." SMITH' 3 WORM POWDERS. The enormous Sale of these Powder is still in creasing. Extract from letter:—" Sir—After trying every known remedy upon my children for worms I was at last fortunately induced by a neighbor to try a packet of your Worm Powders. I used them according to the directions, and the result was so astonishing that if I had not been an eye-witness I would not have believed it. I am pleased to state that since using them my children have recovered their looks, health, and appetite ; in short, a shilling packet has saved me pounds' worth of medicine.
