    Another confirmation of the efficacy of the Cordial Balm of Gi¬ lead, we received from the lips of Mr. IZZARD, of Shawbury, near this town, whose complaints were somewhat similar to those oi Mr. Roberts ; in addition to which, however, he had an almost total stoppage in his throat, and a difficulty in breathing. Two bot¬ tles completed his cure. *** These testimonies were unsought, and unsolicited by us, and the gentlemen now appear in perfect health.—I am, (for Mr. Wood), vourfs respectfully, THOMAS HOWELL. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Joseph Morris, Chepstow. Sow] have to inform you of the following case, cured bv vour Cordial Balm of Gilead : Mr. LEWlb WILLIAMS, Painter and Glazier, of the town of Brecon, in the county of Brecon, was for a very long time labouring under an extreme lowness of spirits, so much so that he was obliged to neglect a great part of his business. He went to Swansea, think¬ ing bathing would be of service to him ; but to his great concern, he founfl no relief. He afterwards came to Chepstow, his native place, where Ids mother and friends now live :—he complained to me how b! he was, and appeared much dejected, saying, he thought he should never be well any more. i advised him to take your Cor- coal Balm of Gilead—he bought of me a five pound case—and his brother assured me a few days ago, that he is now as well as ever he knew him ; being fully satisfied that it was the Balm of Gilead only that had restored him to to his usual health and spirits. I am. Sir, your humble servant, Chepstow, Oct. 5th. JOSEPH MORRIS. c. T . Nantwich, Sept. 13th. Sir—I lee! a pleasure in communicating to you the great benefit which a Lady in the neighbourhood of this place has experienced ftom your Cordial Balm of Gilead:—she has informed me since her recovery, that she was in a very low and weak state for a lon^ time, during which she applied for advice to several medical men— their prescriptions gave her not the least relief; and such was the weakened state in which she continued, that her friends despaired oi her recovery. ihe name which your medicine, the Cordial Balm of Gilead, has acquired for its efficacy in these cases, at last determined them, as the last resource, to try of what avail it would be to her; they purchased a small bottle, and afterwards one of the large size, from which she found such immediate relief as to eticoui age them to send for another ; iHis to their astonishment com¬ pletely restored her to health. Some little time afterwards she paid me for the latter, and then declared that she considered herself as well as ever die was in her life. This I am ready to attest to any one who shall rail upon me. I have also been frequently jn- forined by several who have purchased it of me, of the benefit ihev have received from it in ether cases. ' J I am. Sir, your obedient servant, T. CRAIG.
