tificate of purchase was transferred by V. B.
Dalrymple to John H. Quisenberry, April 3d,
1855, and on the 3d of March, 1857, the Sher

Four 91-100 dollars, the amount of Sta'e and i

vith feeding by hand, (a very injurious prac

not failed to cure in every case in48 hours. I
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.

Dr. J. M. Sleivge :
Dear Sir—In conversation with your agent,
I learned that sojne prejudiced persons, which
are to be found everywhere, against patent med
icines, spoke of your medicines as not doing
much for themselves or any one else. To see
lustice done between all parties, and to enable
ethers, if they wish, to receive the same bene
fits that I have from your medicines, I will
iimpiy give you a statement of facts, which
you can make any use of you please. If any
ene doubts let them call on me and lean satis
fy them. I am probably as well known as any
:>ne in this portion of the State, but 1 am not
in the habit of giving certificates, but feel
that in giving this one I am fully justified.—
My son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
anti lay seventeen or eighteen days, when all
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
peared to do him any good, I commenced giv
ing him your Diarrhoea or Flux Syrup, and he
commenced mending immediately. I verily
believe it was the saving of his life. Yon have
the fcets. Hoping that others may receive
the benefit that my son did, I remain, yours
respectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.
Anderson, Tenn., March 31, 1858.
Da. Sledge-—Dear Sir: Your medicines
nave rendered general satisfaction here; they
have even gone beyond the flattering recom
mendation given by yourself. I have used in
my family, with unparalleled success, your
Nervous Tonic, yonr Diarrhoea Syrup, and
vour Liniment and Hoarhound Pectoral ; and
have found them superior to any medicines
ever used her-', for the various diseases arising
from a miasmatic country like this, where
Fever and Ague, Diarrhoea and Rheumatism,
ire the prevailing diseases. Your Nervous
Tonic has been used by many others as well
13 myself, as a preventive of Fever and Ague ;
and it has invariably given satisfaction. I
for one say emphatically that it will prevent
Chi.Us and Fevers, if taken according to the
directions; and that one bottle will save any
family ten times the cost, if used as a preven- ■
tUg 1 i:«.l it in my family last yea?-, and I!
will certify on oalh that one bottle saved me |
at least ten times its cost. The three years
previous to last year, not one of us escaped
the Chills and Fevers, and last year we used
oaly one of your bottles of Nervous Tonic;
Aiih.virma auvjc.k.i i&jmvieNTs
and if tliere was a Chill or Fever, orTsv^T
tom of one, in my family, I never knew it ,
could cite you to numerous cases that, xrtJ
given out as hopeless, by able physicians 1
Cholera and Diarihrea Syrup have cured-W M
von have a certificate from Mr. Anderson rp1'
is well known, that will surprise you
ing you a knowledge of the invaluable estiiu
tion your medicines are held in here. [ r0|Ji,' a
give you many names here, of good andr.ii 9
able men, who will certify on oath wbat ! !
stated in J. F. Anderson's certificate j *11
where your Diarrhoea Syrup has perfo^:
many other cures that were equally as hon.u!
as his on.
Yours, respectfully,
W. J. MATTHEWS.
P. S. AVhcn you ship your medicines to V
Swope, be sure anu send him two or thn-* I
dozen bottles of your Nervous Tunic. . j
w- r. M. .
P. S. I have also used vour Ague raedieint. J
and one bottle of Pectoral, for coughs ani m
colds; and I do most honestly believe th« J
tlier'1 is no preparation for the Chills, and fa M
Coughs and Golds, equal to it, in use. y„. W
may use this in the form of a certificate, if %
see proper. Send the medicine soon.
