    good physician — as good as we have in these parts. He gave me medicine, but it did me but little good. My phy- sician said he could not do much more for me; it was use- less to give me anything more. I think I took about all kinds of allopathic medicines. I then tried several medi- cines which we had read of. By this time Hereditary Scrof- ula was full}7 developed through my whole system. I had a bad cough also. As a last resort, my father, in February, 1861, visited Dr. E. D. Spear, at his office in Boston, and brought home some medicine for me to take. In a short time I was some better, and with great exertion, I went myself to see Dr. Spear. At this time I was very feeble, had several open Scrofula Sores upon my arm, and an Abscess between my shoulder blades. Dr. Spear thought that there was but little hope for me, as my lungs seemed to be seriously affected, my whole system feeble, and my disease firmly seated. My courage, however, was good. I had seen the good effects of Dr. Spear's medicine in the case of a brother some years before. From this time I have used no medi- cines but those ordered by Dr. Spear. In August my cough was well. I gradually grew stronger. These sores began to look better. Soon the old cap bone of my elbow came off, and Left new bone : pieces of bone came away from my spine; then my sores all healed. My Scrofula all went away, and now my arm is sound, and I once more enjoy good health. One would suppose from my looks that my health had al- ways been the best. That I am alive and enjoy good health, is due, under Providence, to the advice of Dr. Spear, and his good Medicines. Roxaknah Scales. Witnesses to the truth of the above statement.
