    A Terrible Humor, Causing the Nails of the Fingers to drop off, removed by Kennedy's Medical Discovery. Dear Sir—I have been terribly scourged every year with a humor in my hands, which made me feel exceedingly uncom- fortable, and caused the nails of my fingers to fall off. The joints cracked badly, and my hands were so completely covered with the humor as to give the appearance of one great sm-e. At times I suffered more than I can express. I applied a great va- riety of preparations which were reputed to be good for such a case as mine, but was not relieved by any of them. At length J commenced taking your Medical Discov ,ry, a few bottles of which entirely removed the dreadful disease which so long made my life a burden, and I am now- enjoying good health. I cannot entertain any other than the most favorable opinion of a medicine from which I have derived so.much benefit; and I hope that all who are similarly afflicted will make use of it with equal success. Yours truly, Edward Lang, Roxbury. A Running Sore upon the Leg, Whi :h has long subjected the victim to intense suffering, cured by tne Medical Discovery. _ Mr. Kennedy: I was for a long time af- flicted with a running sore upon one of my legs, the skin upon which became black and blue, and the flesh, in several places, was eaten through to the bone. I have suffered everything from running sores all round the leg, which caused my ankle to swell so that I could not walk, and quite unfitted me to perform any kind of labor. I tried everything which I thought might relieve me, but derived no benefit from anything which I applied, till I commenced taking your Medical Discovery, which, I am happy to say, has entirely cured me. J feel as if it would be impossible to say too much in favor of your excellent medicine, and it will always afford me pleasure to recommend it, particularly to those who may be suffering from any disease like that of which I have been so effectually reliev- ed by its powerful agency. Yours respectfully, Epiiraim Brodbent, Roxbury. Mr. Kennedy: Respected Sir—It is now iwo years since I began to use your Dis- covery, and feeling that my health has been greatly improved by the use of it, I deem my duty to inform you how much I prize our valuable medicine. I had for a num- M troubled with tte Ery- sipelas, and had used a great many i tised medicines without success, i had al- most _ despaired of ever recovering from the disease, when one day a friend gai one of your circulars, and after perusing it I resolved to embrace the first opportunit) I bad in purchasing two bottles i medicine. After using it, I found n- health fast improving ; and since then 1 have continued the use of it in my family. It gives me great pleasure to oerl this, and it is my impression that thr your instrumentality a great deal of hu suffering will be relieved. I am, dear sir, verj respectfully yours, Joseph T. Hart, Charlestown. Mr. Donald Kennedy: Respected Sir— The first impulse of a man who has restored from sickness to perfect heal gratitude to the hand that has healed him. Although personally you are unknown t« me, and this correspondence is unsolicited by you, still I feel it a duty I owe to you a - the discoverer of the Medical Discovery,' and to the public generally, to make a fair statement of my experience in the use o! youi- valuable medicine. At the^ commencement of the pievent )'ear,and indeed for some months previous, a terrible Scrofulous humor broke out upon my neck—large swellings ensued, so that my neck and face presented an even sur- face. I was then at Lowell, Mass., and hearing of your Medical Discovery, I pur- chased a bottle. I felt that it was be, ting me, and upon using a second ! found myself perfectly cured. All I can say is, that whereas I was sick now I am well. In all gratitude I remain, yours truly, J. L. Clark, 23 Lowell St., Bo Mr. Kennedy: Dear Sir—Last summei I applied to you by letter, for advici specting lumps or bunches, of a Scrofulous nature, on the left side of my wife's neck, which had been two years coming, and grown to the size of an English walnut. Different physicians had attended her, but without any success of abating or remov- ing, up to the time I applied to you. You very promptly sent her six bottles of your very valuable Medical Discovery, and I feel.proud and overjoyed, in conjunc- tion with her, to inform you that the above- mentioned Scrofula bunches are reduced to the size of a pea, and we feel no hesitation in saying that one bottle more will effect a total disappearance of them. Previous to my wife's commencing your Great Discovery, she was troubled wit1 loss of f
