Extract of.a letter from the editor of the Green vi.le Mountaineer, 6' C Dr. W. Wright Dear 'Sir: A week ot two ago I sent you a Mountaineer, containing a let'er from one of tfur Volunteers in the City of Mexico, in which he pays Wright's Indian Vcge table Pills, under all the circumstances, the high est meed of praise I have ever known a medi -itte to receive. The Volunteer, William W. Go'odlett, Esq., is a gentleman of fine standing an accuur plished and well educated man, and was recently HIGH SHERIFF Of this District. By one of your advertisements in a Charleston paper, I happened to notice the location of your office, and thought you might ex tract an article of some value in regard to your medicine, therefore I sent the paper The following is an extract from the letter re ferred to above: 1 My health is very fast improving. I procured, a few days ago, some of Dr. Wright's Indian Veg etable Pills, and they have acted on my system LIKE MAGIC I" Thus it appears that the brave and patriotic Vol unteers who have gone to Mexico; to defend the rights and honor of their country, already begin to realize the extraordinary value of this incompara ble medicine. Long life to them 1 HORRIBLE MISTAKES ! ! Are sometimes made by confounding one medi cine with another, and administering the wrong ar ticle. Equally horrible are those mistakes which are made in supposing that all Pills are alike, and that therefore, it is indifferent which are taken, and if one kind is bad all are bad together. 'I hw s a very great mistake. There is as much difference !etween WrigkCs Indian Veaetable Pills and oth er articles, as between midnight and noonday I We do not wish any to take our word for this state ment. Let any one, having other medicines, try this. Nothing more will be necessary. Many persons have been led away by a cgaling of Sugar, as if they anticipated that it would re move th"e nausea of the medicine. But they are; generally mistaken. Without the sugar thosejajk, tide have nothing to recommend them, and would not be sold a single day. But with the the sugar, and bv oivinff the article a name similar to Wright's Trtdicr. Vegetable Fills, they gain a temporary no- lonely. Wolves they are, 'in sheep's clothing, fo whom the public should steer sufficiently clear j Let it be remembered that Wright's Indian Veg etable Pills are prepaaed with special reference to the laws governing the human body. Conse quent, lhey are always good, always useful, al ways effective in rooting out disease. Every fam ily should keep them at hand.
