Dear Sir: 
1 was taken with a very se¬ 
vere cold hist Spring, and 
tried every cure we had in the 
store, aud could get no help. 
1 htnl.our village doctor pre¬ 
scribe for me, but kept getting 
worse. I saw auother phj'si- 
cian from Port Jervis, N. Y,, 
and, he told me he used Piso’s 
Cure for Consumption in his 
practice. 
I bought a bottle, and be¬ 
fore I had taken all of it there 
was a change for the better. 
Then I got my employer to 
order a quantity of the medi¬ 
cine and keep it in stock. I 
took one more bottle, and my 
dbugh was cured. 
Respectfully, 
FRANK MCKELVY.
