I hereby certify that 1 have been four yeare
seriously afflicted with an affection of liver
and kidneys,and for five months prior to hear-
ing of Dr. J. J, Reeves* Medicines, I was con-
fined to my house, and most of my time is
my bed ; during which time I had been a -
successfully treated by five physicians, a]¿ ef
whom were recommended as eminent. After
which 1 oommenced the use of Dr. Reevea'
Liver medicines, which gave marked relie' ia
three days, and in a short time I was entirely
relieved from the disease, and 1 now consider
myself entirely well.

I certify that I have been using Dr. J. i.
Reeves' Stimulating Expeotorant in my family
for two years, during which time I have used
i t in sveral cases of pneumonia, and I ean
confidently say that I think it haa boen the
means of saving the lives of several membera
of my family, I therefore give it the prefer-
ence over all other Expectorants and balaanw *
extant in the land, and reoommend it espo-
cially in that distressing disease, as standing*
in my opinion, unrivalled.
