It is an excellent corrective of Indigestion. I

Rev. Dr. Mangum, Prof. Univ. of N. C. .
I concur with Bishop Doggett in his estimate
of the Vest Pocket Cure.
wev. Drs. Jeter, Broaddus, Dickinson, (Bap.)
It is endorsed by the direct personal testimony
of men of national fame and of strictness of
speech. It is not too much to say that no medi
cine ever had such support in its favor as- a spe
cific. The word of any one of the eminent divines
who underwrite this antidote to dyspepsia has
deserved weight. Their united witness, joined
wlthithe experimental use acd approval of the
preparation by well known physicians, removes
all doubt. It is beyond question a wonderful
therapeutical agent. Editors Religious Herald,
Rev. E. A. Yates, P. E. North Carolina Conf.
It has benefitted me. Send another package.
Rev. R. L. Dabney. L.L. D, Ham. Sid. kl., Va.
It is highly esteemed here oy the regular medi

This remedy is of tried virtue. I have Been
