    TESTIMONIALS. The following certificates, among a great number of the same tenor, were sent to me by the writers, with a desire that they be made public for the benefit of mankind: ,., . New-York, October, 24, 1829. It is with great pleasure, and a duty I owe to the public welfare, that 1 hereby acknowledge the great utility of Doct. S. H. P. Lee's celebrated Pills for the cure of the Stone and Gravel in the kidneys and bladder. I have used them for some length of time in my practice, and am happy to say, have uniformly found them successful. 1 na} add also, the. testimony of many of our first Physicians in this city, who have used them in numerous instances, and speak of them in the highest terms/' With these facts to support their beneficial effects, I do with the utmost confi- dence recommend them to all those who are afflicted with these distressing com- plaints. (Signed) T. JONES, M. D. New-York City, October 20,1829. I am fully satisfied from much experience in my practice, that Dr. S. H.P. Lee's compound Pills, for the Gravel and Stone, with its concomitant Nephritic symptoms, arc an invaluable medicine, and infallible in almost every case, by eradicating tho Stone or Gravel from the bladder, and so correcting the blood as to remove the ten- dency o'' the kidneys and Renal secretions to deposit calculi in the bladder, the cause of Stone ; thereby avoiding the severe operation of Lithotomy, or cutting into the bladder. 1 have used the medicine freely and it has invariably removed the complaints, affording ease and comfort to the patient. The article is worthy the attention of the public, particularly those who labor under those destressing complaints, mid, in my opinion, is the nearest to a perfect remedy of any composi- tion to be found in any Materia Medica or medical writer. JASPER C. FOSTER, Surgeon. The writers of the following are grave honest men, of the first standing for moral and religious integrity ; their object is the welfare of the afflicted. Those now living in 1839, have informed me that they are entirely free from the complaint. Waterford, Conn. June 5, 1830. To whom it may concern. This is to certify, that I have been troubled with that distressing complaint, the Gravel, for twelve years—have hail many poor turns, so that I had to lay by all business. 1 was often attacked with sharp, cutting, grinding pains in the kidneys, back and thighs, which are indescribable—after some hours, would seem to abate for a time and then return, discharging thick bloody urine, with ent, &c. I had almost dispaired of getting cured, especially when I bad the most excruciating pains imaginable—I tried the Harlaem Oil, and many Other remedies. I consulted physicians, some of whom informed me there was no cure for it—I took their medicines to no effect. At last I heard of a composition of Doct. S. II. 1'. Lee of New London, formed tor this dis iase, which I took for three or four weeks, and at the same time drank freely of dandelion tea as a common drink; as it was inconvenient to get the tea at all times, 1 carried the dandelion in my pocket and chewed it. I got entirely well of the gravel in a few months—taking the compound, the parts healed, and 1 have had no return of it since. I therefore certifv this for the benefit of others afflicted with the same complaint. J OLIVER MAXSON. Oct. 1839 Mr. Maxson still enjoys perfect health, and may be inquired of at his farm in Waterford. Waterfoed, Conn. April 30,1829. This may certifv, that I was troubled with the Gravel upwards of seven years, for which time 1 was unable to do much business, and had not much hopes of ever being able to do am more. I applied to several physicians in New-York, Baltimore, and many other places, of the first standing for medical skill, but received no bene- fit from their prescriptions. I happened, by chance, to call on Doct. S. H. P. Lee, of Now-London, Connecticut, and after taking his Pills, prepared for that disease, three
