JOHN M. ROSS, M. D.
I, Thomsit A. Ring®, of Graves Co., Ky., for the benefit
of mankind generally, do hereby certify, that on or about
the 16th day of October, 1847. I wan attacked with a very
severe pain in th*, lower part of the abdomen, which lasted
but a ftw minutes, and moved iut<> the left hip, and con-
tinued exceer.ngly painful ibs about five days, during
which time I had a very light fever. At the end of that
time the fever ceatsed, and the pain abated for a day or two,
after which it again returned, and was much worse than
before. During all this time 1 was under medical treat-
ment. From a short time after I was taken. I was unable
to walk or sit up; the hip in which the pain was so bad
commenced rising, until some time in January, when it
burst, and a number of pieces of bone came out—as many
as twenty, at least. Some of the pieces were three-fourths
of an inch long. Some time after this, a hard knot ap-
peared on my right hip, also one on my right wrist, and
one on my leg, below my knee. I continued to get weak
and worse, and pain made its appearance in my right
shoulder, and would move in my breast and stomach. At
this time all persons gave me up to die. A physician then
told me that, as a last remedy, I had better use MR.
DULL'S FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. After
the use of the second bottle, the knot on my wrist com-
menced getting spft. I opened it, and a day or two after,
a piece of bone came out. My wrist soon got well, and I
continued to gain strength. After I used the third bottle,
I could get no more for some four weeks, after which time
I succeeded in getting three more boules. After using the
three last bottles, the knot on my hip became soft; it was
opened, and some corruption ran out, together with a
small piece of bone, and the sore soon got well, and the
knot entirely diappeared. The sore on my leg also opened,
and a piece of bone came out. I continued the use of the
Sarsaparilla until I used twelve bottles, and am now
entirely well, and able to do daily labor. It may Seem
strange to some, but I will here state that, during the ,
summer of 1849,1 coughed up three pieces of bone, which
ean now be seen at the residence of my uncle, Thos. Neal
where I now live, and if anjr persons doubt this statement!
I will be happy to converse with them, if they will call on
me. Signed, TUOMAS N. RINGO.

Can the reader believe, after reading the description of •
the above numerous cures, that there js etill a few human
beings, suffering with disease, that refuse to give Bull's
pBnaparilla a trial. It is indeed bard to believe, but nev-
arthek-ss, it is too true. IV hat kind of testimony would it
take to convince the few remaining disbelievers, that Bull's
medicine will do more even than it promises? The doctor ■
Could produce another and another cure performed by his
medicine; but if the cases published above will not con-
yice the sceptical, it is useless to produce any more, and,
indeed, it would cost a fortune to publish the many certi-

“ I DIGEST" Such is the true meaning#of the
word PEPSIN. It is the chief element, or great
digesting princitle of the gastric juice—the solvent
of the food, the purifying, preserving, and stimulat-
ing agent of the stomach and intestines. It is ex-
tracted from the digestive stomach of the ox,—thus
forming a true digestive fluid, precisely like the
natural Gasjric Juice in its chemical powers, and
furnishing-a complete and perfect substitute for it-
This is nature’s own remedy for an unhealthy
stomach. No art of man can equal its curative
powers. It contains no alcohol, bitters, acids, or
nauseous drugs. It is extremely agreeable to the
taste, and may be taken by the most feeble parents
wha cannot eat a water cracker without acute d.s-
tress. Beware of drugged imitations. Pepsin is
no a drug.
Half a teaspoonful of Pepsin infused in water,
will digest or dissolve Jive pounds of Roast Beef in
about two hours, out of the stomach.

DE JOHN BULL’S SARSAPARILLA ! I
Will Wonders never Cease?

1 BULL’S SARSAPARILLA, are not wonders, then we
*'^*Tr*h^re that we do not know the meaning of the
hcrion.Keatt’ ^-^--—w-iced that facts are stranger than
Lrax P. 0., Fulton Co.. Ky., <^4. j. 1551.
Dr. John Bull: Dear Sir—The two dozen of your sarsa-
parilla. ordered iu September, came to hand, and, in ac-
knowledging the receipt of the same. I feel I would be
doing you injustice to withhold the following, among the
many of the instances that have come under my observa-
tion, daring the last two years, of the great curative prop-
1 erties of your Sarsaparilla :—
Mrs. Jeannette Martin, a highly respectable lady of my
neighborhood, aged sixty-five years, had been long afflicted
with a cancerous ulcer, which finally reduced her to so
helpless a condition, that she could not leave her bed. She
tried the best medical advice in our county, without relief,
and had given up all hopes of a cure. At this stage of her
rewe, I persuaded her sou to take a bottle of your Sarsapa-
rilla. lie did so, and in a short time returned, and. pur-
chased another bottle, stating the first had had a decidedly
- good effect. She continued to use it until, after the use of
five or six bottles, I had the pleasure of seeing the old lady
herself at church. She assured me that she had almost
entirely recovered her health, and from her I received the
account of her disease, and in about the same words I give
it to you. This is but one of a number of cures under my
observation—of Very remarkable ones—performed by the
use of your Sarsaparilla, in my neighborhood. The de-
mand for it has steadily increased since its introduction
here- Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WM. R. DICKINSON, P. M.
Boru Couirrv, Ky., Oct. 6.1851.
Dr. Jorrn Bull: Dear Sir—I have seen the most marvel-
lous cure of one of my patients, by your valuable medicine
—an old lady, who h.-vl been afflicted from her childhood
with scrofula, and various diseases of the brain. She was
sixty years old. It had run into something like leprosy,
and she was the meet frightful creature my eyes ever
beheld. I called in Dr. McFadden, a very fine physician,
to consult with me in relation to her. We came to the
conclusion that it was out of our power to relieve her; but,
on going to my office, I accidentally picked up on« of your
Journals, when, on seeing the wonderful cures your Sarsa-
parilla had effected, I resolved to try the experiment in thia
case. I took her two bottles of It, after taking which I
perceived a great ebanga. I took her some more. She la
now taking the sixth bottle, and I consider her entirely
cured I take great pl assure in recommending your Sar-
saparilla to the afflicted public.
Yours respectfully,
