Dr. Slthee —Dear Sir: I have sold all your
Cholera or Diarrhcea Syrup. J have used it
myself, and also in my family several times,
and I can say for the truth, it is the best medi
cine for the Flux I have ever seen, for it has
not failed to cure in every casein-18 hours. I
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.
Yours, etc., E. V. TUCKER,

Dr. J. M. Sledge—Dear Sir: After my re
spects to you, please let me say to you that iny
friend, Mr. F. Russer, the gentleman to whom
I went with to sea from Gallatin, has im
proved to the extent that he is able to go any
where his business calls him : in fact vnur
medicine has performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it has been
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
Imrst, the depot near me, 1 have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as I understood
you to say when you were here that you
would take off 20 or 25 per cent. You will
hereforc please send to me say 18 bottles
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Bone
Liniment, 24 bottles Hoarhound Pectoral, and
he balance of the One Hundred Dollars which
you will find enclosed, in your Nervous Tonic.
1 send the right band end of the money, and
in the reception of the first half, you will
alease send the medicine and write to ine, and
l will send the other half. I expect you to
lend me your Nervous Tonic at $1 00, as you
'old it at $2 00 by the single bottle. Do not
lelay sending the Medicine, as there is a con
iiderable demand or call for it. Mr. Peave,
vho was given over to die in a few days, is up
mil going about, and I have no doubt he will

[>r. J. M. Sledge:
Dear Sir—(n conversation with your agent,
learned that some prejudiced persons, which
.re to be found everywhere, against patent med
cines, spoke of your medicines as not doing
nuch for themselves or anv one else. To see
ustice done between all parties, and to enable
jthers, if they wish, to receive the same bene
its that I have from your medicines, I will
imply give you a statement of facts, which
on can make any use of you please. If any
tie doubts let them call on me and I can satis
y them. I am probably as well known as any
ne in this portion of the State, but 1 am not
n the habit of giving certificates, but feel
hat in giving this one I am fully justified.—
■ly son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
ml lay seventeen or eighteen days, when all ,
ope on my part was gone, and nothing ap- j
eared to do him any good. I commenced giv
ug him vour Diarrhoea or Flux Syrup, and he
ommenced mending immediately. I verily '
elieve it was the saving of his life. You have '
le facts. Hoping that others may receive
le benefit that my son did, I remain, yours '
sspectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.

Dit. Sledge:—Dear Sir: Your medicines

ave even gone beyond the flattering rccom
lendation given by yourself. 1 have used in 1
iy family, with unparalleled success, your 1
ervous Tonic, your Diarrhoea Syrup,’and

ave found them superior to any medicines '

id it has invariably given satisfaction. 1 | '
ir one say emphatically that it will prevent I
hills and Fevers, if taken according to the <
irections; and that one bottle will save any ' *
iinily ten times the cost, if used as a preven- \
ve. I used it in my funilv last year, and 1 I

t least ten times its cost. T'|le j^ree years |
