![symptoms has been noticed. * * * I am led to believe it one op the very best eemedies in Tuberculosis that we possess. The night sweats cease, the appetite improves, the blood is enriched in those constituents which are bo essential to health, and which are deficient in those persons predisposed to consumption, viz., organizable jibrine and healthy red corpuscles.''' —A. Hubd, M. D., Oxford, la. I have used the Hypophosphites, principally In tubercular disease, but also in Chlorosis, and in diseases attended with nervous debility. 1 consider them the most efficient blood-generating agents with which 1 am acquainted, and believe they also exert an important influence directly on the nervous system, of a tonic character. They exert an important remedial influence over tubercular disease, by improving the nervous stbengih and invigorating the ndtkitive functions. Combined judiciously with air and exercise, care being taken to keep the bowels and skin in proper condition, they seem to me to he invaluable.—A Physician, Morristown, 1 have been superintending the use of your Hypophosphites in a well-marked case of incipi- ent hereditary tubercular phthisis, and have nevee known a case op the kind improve HOSE EAPIDLY IN THE SAHK LENGTH OP TIME.—F. H. HAEWOOD, M. D., Rushville, N. Y. Your preparation has not failed to benefit in a single instance in which I have used it. —W. F. Claek, M. D., Lowell, Ohio. A patient of mine, who has been suffering with disease of the lungs for several years past, has been using Churchill's Hypophosphites for 6ome six weeks. There has been a masked im- provement in his case, which was manifest soon after he began the use of the medicine. —J. G. McPueetees, M. D., Bloomiiigton, 2nd. EXTRACTS FROM MY GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE. ** My wife has taken two bottles, and commenced on the third ; and has received such great benefit that I am now of the opinion that it will effect a cure. She is comfortable, rests well at night, has a good appetite, and is gaining strength and flesh, to tiie astonishment op ALL THAT ABE KNOWING TO HEE SITUATION.—JOHN HEFNEE, Delhi, Iowa. My general health has undoubtedly improved sincetfhis remedy has been used. * * * The cough is giieatly abated, and the matter discharged is'compaeativel^tiilelln^,* * * Un- less some Budden turn should take place in my condition. I trust, by a continuance of your med- icine, I shall be able once more to call health mine.—Tnos. Slubber, Ecansport, 0. M My worst feature was debility, with loss of flesh, attended with irregular pulse ; and these certainly are regaining their former condition. Also, I had severe cough during the day> and ^. . worse at rising in the morning. Now, I seldom cough during daytime, none in the night; for ** I generally sleep soundly, and very little in the morning.—Thos. J. Caldwell, Jackson- ville, III. Extract from a letter dated Washington, D. C., June 8th, 1S59. I gladly give my approval of your' Preparation.' * * * I have taken six bottles; it baa produced a wonderful improvement in my health, not only in removing all irritation in the bronchial membrane, and the tightness in the upper part of my lungs, but also in the tone it has given to my whole system. I had, at first, a slight cough, and very little expec- toration. This is all gone, and niv health now is as good as ever, so far as I can judge. Still, your preparation acts so beneficially on the bowels, keeping the system in good order, and in allaying nervous irritation, I shall continue its use occasionally. [The name of the writer is at the service of any inquirer.] My appetite has increased to a great extent, my bowels become perfectly regular, and my sleep improved decidedly, so that I do not hesitate to say I have rested with more comfort during the last two months than I have before for more than two years. From the use of the Hypophosphites I have been relieved of all foreign, unpleasant feelings in my chest and right side. I now lie and sleep upon either side, with equal convenience, and my health is improv- ing, beyond all doubt, in tho most rapid manner possible; and my many friends, I am sure, will soon bear of ' Richardson being himself again.' —Nathan Richardson, Warren, Mass. I must say it is doing a11 it is recommended for, and much more than was anticipated by those who had faith enough to give it a trial.—M. R. Knapp, North Stockholm, 2?. Y.
