Charles, May 8th, 1848, ER DESPAIR, VOUCAA BE CUItED. Philadelphia, July 26, 1846. To the Public I certify that before my remembrance I became afflicted with what the Physicians called scrofula. It made its appearance by pain and swelling' of the joints more especially of my ankles, knees, wrists and elbows; after which the glands of my throat and neck became in- named and swelled, attended with mos ex-crutiating pains. I was often confined en tirely to my bed, and for weeks together could not move my neck or turn my head.

Several physicians attended me at differ ent time but they did not appear to do me any good. About a year ago 1 was attacked with vomiting, which continued every few minutes all one night. The next day an eruption appedied on the sides of my neck, which soon spread all over my neck, head and face, with inllammation ot my eyes and eyeiias, which ursiroyra my eye-iasues ouu caused the hair to fall from off my and soon the disease spread all over me; my limbs weie one entire scab. I could not bend my hands or arms without causing the skin to crack open, when the blood would run out. Some of my finger nails came off.

In short, I was unable to get my own living, aud in this condition I railed upon Dr. JAYNE, in order he miht undertake my case. He directed me to take his ALTERATIVE three times a day. and his SANATIVE PILLS as often as I should find it necessary I have now taken his ALTERATIVE lour months, and am most happy to say that it has entirely cuied me.

And in diong so, I am actuated by a desire to benefit other who may be suffering! My wife was laboring under a severe cough for a long time, which threatened serious injury. After having tried many other remedies to no purpose, she used a few packages of Storm's Cough Can dy, purchased from our neighbors, Messrs. Snow Quirk, and in a very short time she was entirely relieved, and now enjoys good health. My servant was also afflicted with a severe breast comnlaint. and she experienced almost immedi ate relief from the use of this truly valuable remedy Respectfully, No.
