THIS Invaluable Medicine, which has for nearly Half a Century had a large and increas- ing Sale, is admirably adapted to supply a great want -that of a remedy always at hand, easy of application, and certain in its results. The extraordinary cures effected by this wonderful preparation prove that where these Pills are used, perfect and robust health may be depended on. The following interesting case of restoration of health is one of the most recent; hundreds more might be added Wellfoot, of 2, Sylvester-lane, in this town, has been for many years afflicted with dropsy and spinal complaint to such an extent that she had to be lifted in and out of bed, having quite lost the use of her limbs. For the last four years she has been under the care of some of the most eminent doctors, but could not obtain any relief from their treatment. While in this deplorable condition, she was advised to try Kaye's Worsdell's Pills, and, solely by their use, she has entirely recovered her health, and is able to follow her usual em- ployment. From the extraordinary benefit she has re- ceived from the use of your medicine she is truiy grateful and thinks it her duty to make her case known, so that other unfortunate persons, suffering as she has done, may know where to find a remedy.—I remain, dear Sir, yours respectfully.
