the advertisement of the Panacea Water, by
Mr. John A. Williams, of Oxford, N. C We
have great confidence In Its value, especially in
oases of dyspepsia. We have used It with sreat
benefit, and we know whereof we speak In a
week's time its use mace a decided Improve

it to tbe suffering. We also know that when
Rev. M. L. Burley, of Franklin, Va , had been
reduced almost to a skeleton from a terMble case

when the medicine of fir. t clacp physicians bad
railed to cure, or even give much re.lef. be tried

He continued Its use for several weeks and h Is
