CoLQUi, Nov. 1, 1871. I ray consult and treat with Da. BECIC-WITH, of St. Joseph, Michigan.

A HttU over six ago be came to St, well recommended be hug proved to be a successful Physician and Surgeoft! For a number of years I bave been ltd with (spinal affection been treated a number of physicians, received DO permanent relief; throe years ugo it in almost i paralysis. Six since, I wai again struck down werje then before. I thought death would be and earnestly prayed for it. A friend sent me one of DH. BECKW cir culars.

I Mnniodiatclcy commenced treat- at that time i not walk or stand, was nearly as helpless aa aft i a some of the time could not only iu a whisper. I thought the Doctor was hclpiug rue, but it was slow. After a while he relieved 1113- spine, it went to my lungs, at times could hardly breathe. At this urgent crisis, another physician living near, very highly recommended by my friends, was very unwiaely called, from that timz I commenced rapidly to fail; had it not been for tbe good care given ma by friends I should have been in my grave. and nearly all that saw me think it a miraola that I am alive.

But God, who, wiajlr' rules all things caused that doctor tfj and I was left without medicine foe over three days. Not knowing why he did not come, we sent again for DR. BECZWITM, who found me iu convulsions, by tbe Hidden checking of disease raging when tha other doctor was called. Every cpaam seemed as if it must be my last. DR.

BccK- WITH soon relieved me, and attended me more vigorously than before. 1 can uowatt up, walk, have less pain than for three long years and 1 a i it all to Dr. BKCK- WITH, having only for oue week taken any medicine but his for t-ix months. He successfully removed a tJtnor front the side of i mother, Mrs. Hurt, of 20 years standing, measuring 10 11 iuoUei.

Some of our friends i our eulogies ef BECKWITH too great, but we feel thai he has clsnc so much for us, that we ahould do him great injustice did we not apeak of his skill. We all have a right to our choice, but listen, to oue that hat been great sufferer. I feel that I owe my life tothia one, with the help of. my heavenly Father. great confidence I recommend Dn.

BECK- WITII to those afflicted. I sincirely hopa that his life may be spared many yeara come and st ill be successful in restoring many. From Mns. MARY B. GKKGO of Coloma, Mich.
