Sir: One year ago last August I was attacked with bleed- ing at the lungs. I had for some weeks been on the decline, but neglected doing anything for myself until I had a severe turn of bleeding. I then commenced doctoring in the Thom- sonian way ; employed two physicians, and followed it up for three months, but found no material benefit, though I had but one more turn of bleeding after I commenced doctoring. As soon as I was able. I concluded to take a journey to Vermont, my native place. After I arrived there, my fa- ther's people advised me to employ their old regular physi- cian. Accordingly I did so. and for a while thought I received temporary relief, though there was no particular alteration. I left here for a while to visit some friends in New Hamp- shire. While there I was advised by a young man by the name of Whitcomb. who had made use of your medic- found relief, to try it: and after much solicitation. I pur- chased a bottle of the Balm of L ttle of Re- storative Cordial, and a box of Catarrh SnhJT. I fol your directions faithfully, and in less than two weeks I be- gan gradually to recover. I continued taking it until the first of April, when I left off the use of medicine entirely, and am now enjoying a tolerable state of health. I preach every Sabbath, ride twelve miles through the mud and rain once every fortnight, to supply one of ray appointments. Thine truly, Luther Rice.
