Now, every solid part of the human frame is

are continually sustaining. So in the ordinary
Conroe of nature we manufacture our indite ha

our stomachs. Suppose the blood made in this
stomach of ours is unsound, impure, occasioned
by some cause or other; it may refer to the pre

been loaded with matters detrimental to health,

now becomes seond, and the stomach soon gets
into so healthy a condition that even bad air s or

the health materially. Even when the climate or

Dt. S. P. Tbornpsott—Dear Sir: I eonsiderit a
grateful duty to publicly acknowledge the benefit
I have derived from the nee of sour invalusible
medicine, the Compound Syrup oi Tar and Wood
Naphtha. In the spring of 1844,1 was taken ill
with bilious fever, and was very iji for a loos
time. After T had partially recovered, my phyei.
ciao informed me my lungs were affected, and
treated me accordingly. Ilia skill bad no effect,
for instead of getting better, I daily grew worse.
I was finally informed by him that -I was incu
rable, and must die, and that nothing remained
but preparation for another world." My weak
ness increased until I was confined to bed ; I had
very severe pains in my breast, side and back,
shortness of breath, and I was an very hoarse that
my voice could not be heard, unless the ear was
applied close to my mouth. My cough,.was ter
rible, harassing me night and day, so thatl could
obtain, very little rest. While sufferinglik#4
way,with no relief, I saw your advertisement in
the -Union," of this borough, with the certificate
of a lady of Philadelphia appended, which so near
ly described My case. that I vesiiliek to try , your
medicine and its effect upon me. raccordingly
sent to your agent, Dr. Itt , Pherson t and procured
a bottle. I had not used more teattoise-third of

regularly ; the pain in my breast, &c left me; the
shortness of breath and cough was removed, and
,I am now able to walk about with renewed health
and vigor. You can make what use of this you'
gelid. lam willing to give any Satisfaction
that May be required of me if called on personal
