Gentlemen—I was troubled with my lungs and stomach for five years. I could do no work hardly until I used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. After using five bottles of the "Golden Medical Discovery" and three vials of the "Pleasant Pellets" I was cured, and now I am doing the work for a family of nine. I tried other medicines and nothing would do me any good, and if I had not gotten your medicine I would have been in my grave. I could not recommend it too highly for the good it did me; it is the best medicine I ever got hold of.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
Gentlemen—I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to you for the wonderful cure that your special remedies performed in my case. In the Spring of 1891, I had a severe attack of La Grippe, which left me in bad shape. I consulted as good a physician as there was in the county, and he told me that I was suffering from enlargement of the heart and that I must be very careful about taking: any violent exercise, and I must not allow myself to get excited, as excitement of any kind might prove fatal. He gave me remedies for my trouble which made me feel some better; but being a farmer I was obliged to work hard and soon began to run down. I began to have spells of a terribly deathly sinking feeling at my stomach and a terrible pressure at the heart—in the region of the heart, and sometimes I would fall prostrate and although I was conscious all the time I could not speak aloud.
The last of October, 1891, while doing my chores in the morning, I had one of those bad spells and upset my lantern, which resulted in my losing my buildings by fire.
My wife was out of health at that time—she, too, was suffering from the effects of La Grippe. Having lost everything eatable for ourselves and stock, I was forced to work very hard to get through the winter. The next February, 1892, we had another attack of La Grippe, which resulted in the death of my beloved wife. The next May, this terrible affliction together with hard work completely broke me down and although I was doctoring all the time I kept steadily growing worse. I got so bad that I could not sleep more than two or three hours any night and very often I would go all night without closing my eyes at all.
