CONRAD MARQUART, Exrs. FROM GEX. D. S. FORBES. The following chatty letter from Gen. Forbes, relates in a pleasant way his experience with Dr. Tenner's Golden Relief.

Dr. Fcnner Dear Sir You will please send me another bottle of your Golden Relief. It has become a fixture In my house as a medi cine. We consider It luvaluablo and cannot do without It, I musthore relate an anecdote of your valuable Ooldcn Relief. In the fall of 1872, in Jumping from my carrlago I sprained my ankle and was unable to wafk. An agent of the Buffalo Courier called at my house (of course you know what ho culled for it was to collect my subscription) and find ing mo In great pain commenced telling a wundcrful story about a most wonderful medicine that he bad found iu Buffalo and that he would go aud bring to me for trial, as It was lu bis viillso. Imagine my surprise when I found It was your golden rellefmado here in Fredonia ! 1 sent to you for a bottle. and after using it a few times the pain en tirely left unda speedy cure was obtained. This agent of the Courier said bo could not live without it, us he was an almost constant Nufferer from Neuralgia, and that it was tho only medicine that gave him instant relief. So you will see that others appreciate your wonderful medicine as well as myself, and I will add that in all the numerous cases where I or my family havetrledit.lt has never fulled to give relief. So you will not wonder that we huvo learned to rely upon it in all thoso cases for which you recommend it. Yours truly, D. S. FORBES. C. T. Moore, proprietor of tho celebrated wholesale tea and eotl'ee house, 14 Front street, Rochester, N.Y., certifies that Dr. Fen- ner's Golden Relief cured him of soretliroat more speedily than anything he has yet found. His family has learned to rely ou it In Headaches, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Tooth ache, etc., and would not be without it. C. W. Tenant, Fredonia, N. Y certifies that two bottles of Dr. Fenner's Golden Relief cured him of a bad Rheumatism, after all other treatment had failed. The beat families lu the land are now keep ing it constantly in the house for family use, and attest to its extraordinary powers and healingfcapabllltles to conquer pain aud an nihilate disease from the system.
