SANDS'S SARSAPARILLA. 



The attention of the reader is respectfully called to 

 the following certificates. However great achieve- 

 ments have heretofore been made by the use of this 

 invaluable medicine, yet daily experience shows re- 

 sults still more remarkable. The proprietors here 

 avail themselves of the opportunity of saying it is a 

 •source of constant satisfaction that they are made the 

 means of such an amount of suffering. 



Newark, N. J., December 13, 1842. 



Messrs. Sands: Gent.— Words cannot express the 

 gratitude I feel for your treatment to me, a stranger 

 suffering under one of the most loathsome diseases 

 that nature is capable of bearing. The disease with 

 which I was afflicted commenced with inflammation 

 of the eyes, in the year 1836, which caused almost to- 

 tal blindness. For this I was treated and finally re- 

 lieved, but the remedies were such as to cause the 

 development of a scrofulous affection on my left arm 

 near the elbow. 



The pain extended from the shoulder to the end of 

 my fingers, and for two years my sufferings were be- 

 yond description. I tried various remedies arid con- 

 sulted different physicians in New York, and amongst 

 them the late Dr. Bushe, who told me the disease of 

 the arm was caused by the large quantity of mercury 

 taken to cure the inflammation of my eyes. 



My sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tumors 

 formed in different places, and in a few months«dis- 

 charged, making ten running ulcers atone time, some 

 above^and some below the elbow, and the discharge 

 was so offensive that no person could bear to be in 

 the room where I was. I then applied to another dis- 

 tinguished physician, who told me amputation of the 

 arm was the only thing that could save my life, as it 

 was impossible to cure so dreadful a disease ; but as 

 I was unwilling to consent to it, he recommended me 

 to use Swaim's Panacea freely, which I did without 

 deriving but little benefit. For three years I was un- 

 able to raise my hand to my head, or comb my head, 

 and the scrofula now made its appearance on my 

 head, destroying the bone in different places, causing 

 extensive ulcerations, and I feared it might reach and 

 destroy the brain — the head swelled very much, ac- 

 companied with violent pain. Numerous external 

 remedies were recommended, but they did no good. 

 About a year since I was taken severely ill with a 

 swelling of the body from head to foot, so that I was 

 entirely helpless. The doctor advised me to go to the 

 hospital, for he did not understand my case. For the 

 last few months I had been afflicted with a severe 

 pain in both sides, at times so hard I could scarcely 

 get my breath. A hacking cough constantly annoy- 

 ed me, and this combined with my other maladies, 

 rendered me truly miserable. Such, gentlemen, had 

 been my situation for seven years of my life, when I 

 commenced the use of your Sarsaparilla; but as my 

 case was considered hopeless, and the near prospect 

 of a speedy dissolution seemed inevitable, I felt but 

 little encouragement to persevere. The persuasion 

 of friends induced me to try your medicine, which in 

 a few days produced a great change in my system 

 generally, by causing an appetite, relieving the pains, 

 and giving me strength. As success inspires confi- 

 dence, I was encouraged to persevere. My pains 

 grew easier, my strength returned, food relished, the 

 ulcers healed, new flesh formed, and I once more f^lt 

 within me that I might get well. I have now used 



the Sarsaparilla about two months, and am like a 

 different being. The arm that was to be amputated ha.-> 

 entirely healed, a thing that seemed impossible. I 

 can scarcely believe the evidence of my own eyes, 

 but such is the fact; and it is now r as useful as at any 

 period of my life, and my general health is better than 

 it has been for years past. 



Health, what magic in the work 1 how many thou- 

 sands have sought it in foreign lands and sunny climes,, 

 and have sought in vain ! Yet it came to me when 1 

 had given up to die ; and as I feel the pulsations of 

 health coursing through my veins, my whole heart 

 and soul go forth in fervent gratitude to the author of 

 all our sure mercies, that he has been graciously 

 pleased to bless the means made use of. "Truly have 

 you proved yourself the good Samaritan to the afflict- 

 ed," for next to my Creator my life is indebted to you 

 (or rather) the use of your invaluable Sarsaparilla. 

 The value of such a medicine is countless beyond 

 price, money cannot pay for it. I have been raised 

 from death, I may say, for my friends and myself 

 thought it impossible I couki recover. And now r , 

 gentlemen, suffer me to add another proof certified too 

 by my friends and guardians as a just acknowledge- 

 ment of the virtues of your health restoring Sarsapa- 

 rilla. I'hat the afflicted may also use it and enjoy 

 the benefits it alone can confer, is the heartfelt, fer- 

 vent wish of their and your friend.
