The subscriber is pleased I to inform the public that his CHOLERA AND DIARRHCEA MEDICINE affords more prompt relief in the various affections of the Bowels, sad consequently more satisfactory to all who have used it, than any other Medicine ever offered to the public The following are among many testi monials of its efficacy . Dr. R. H. Wobthwqtor Dear Sir: I take much pleasure in adding my testimony to others in favor cf your remedy for Bowel Affections, &c, having so frequently experienced its beneficial re sults in my own case, as well as in many others to whom I have given it I carried a bottle of it with me to Baltimore, (and here permit me to say I would as soon think of travelling without money as without this remedy) and finding many among my acquaintances there who were suffering with various forms of Bowel Affections, I gave it freely, and in mo ikstascr did it fail to afford the most prompt akd decided relief as it has' done here. I congratulate you, and especially the pnblic, on the discovery ef a medicine which is better calcu lated to protect mankind and alleviate suffering than any other ever brought before the people. L. T. SPIERS. r:rTie la to -rtsrUfy thsa, oe weeks fceek, I was' taken with a violent Diarrhoea, which persisted for eight days. Being some sixty miles from home, I made use of all the remediesI could think of, but without affording any relief" On arriving at home, I was informed that Dr. R. H. Wortbington had prepared a remedy for Cholera, &c, and was advised to use it I did so, and to my astonish ment one single dose gave speedy and permanent relief, since which time I have used it frequently in my family ; and, in justice to the Doctor, Say I consider it much the most valuable medicine I have used in an experience of twenty years". F. M CArEH AKT. Murfreesboro,' N. C; Oct 2, 1854. Dr. Worthirotor Drar Sir: I take- great pleasure in recommending your Cholera Medicine. to the public and more especially since 1 have had personal experience and observation of its benefi cial ettects. I have tried several remedies put up for Cholera, &c, but have never found such happy results from any as from yonr invaluable remedy. I have such unbounded confidence in its efficacy, that I am unwilling and will not leave home without supply with me; and I regard it as one of the most valuable discoveries of the age. l ours, very truly, W. P. BEAM AN. Windsor, N. C, 8ept. 1-9, 1854. Dr. R. H. WoRTHiwoToa Dear Sir . I have made some effort, and have succeeded in introdu cing your Medicine to the public, and I find it is taking very well indeed ; and the result is, that I have nearly sold what you sent me. I. there fore, wis! you would send me some more as soon as you can. I have not the slightest doubt but that this Medicine is the very best reme dy out for the disease for which it is recommend ed. I hope you will soon send me a supply, as I would not like to get entirely out of it. tours, truly, GEORGE W. McGLAUGIION. From the Murfreesbore' Gazette.! Misses. Editors- In looking over the last number of the Gatette. I found a communication from our friend. Mr. L. P. Spiers, rcommending Dr. R. H. Worthington's Cholera Mixture to the public, for the eure of diarrhoea, dysentery, and other kindred diseases. Having experience in my own ease, the happy effects of its use, as well as other members of my family, I ean safely say that 1 regard it superior to any remedy we have ever used, in an experience of twenty years. 1 would, therefore, recommend it to every family as an in valuable remedy, and every individual to procure a bottle and keep it bv them in these times of cholera. R. R. PARKER. Murfreesboro,' Aug. 30th, L854. This is to certify that I have used Dr. R. H Worthington's Cholora medicine in my family for the last four or five weeks, in several cases of Bowel Complaint so common in our vicinity, with invariable success. One of the cases was that of a negro child, some four or five months old, who was so emaciated by the effects of the disease, that its life was nearly despaired of, when my wife happened to think that she wouM try the Cholera Medicine, and did so with complete success in less than forty-eight hours. I am throoghly of opinion that no family should be without so fine a medicine Given under my hand, this 3rd day of October, 1854. A. W. DARDEN Mcrprxsboro' N C. Dr. R. IL Wortbington. It affords us pleasure to say that we have used your Cholera Diarrhoea medicine for the last twelve months, and have found it invariably successful, in relieving speedily the cases in which we have had occasion to use it We entertain a high ap preciation of its value, and have no hesitation in expressing the opinion that it will prove to be a valuable family medicine.
