As will be seen below Westmoreland Bros. have secured an admission from a regular practicing physician which puts a sterling stamp on their celebrated Tonic. Here it is ; Westmoreland Bros., Druggists, Greenville, S. C.: Allow me to offer you my experience with Calisaya Tonic. I have prescribed it in a great many cases of general debility with marked success. In fact, I treated a case of typhus malarial fever with no other anti-peri? odic Tonic or stimulant. It has proved all you claim for it in my hands and has been perfectly satisfactory. The above is from a physician of extensive experience and reputation, and is undeniable evidence of the excellence of Calisaya Tonic. Sold by Druggists everywhere at $1.00 a bottle.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of a worthless humbug can make money by im? posing ?jpo?i the credulity and ignorance of ah aonest public, and the supply of this species )f work seems more than an adequate demand. The enunciation of facts-facts that have stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain orce and tangible evidence, should satisfy all audnble enterprises ; bet the execrable prac? tice of teaching false ideas and doctrines for self aggrandizement is truly reprehensible and should be scorned by all classes. When one house tells you that Iodide of Potash is a poison simply because their oppo? nents use it, and because they are panderiog to you- ignorance, as tbey suppose, you should look upon all such as arrant frauds md their remedies as unworthy public confi? dence, and if those who make such assertions io not know better, they are a set of unenvi ible ignoramuses. DOCTORS AND HOT SPRINGS. Hot Springs failed entirely to cure nie of several terrible, indolent running ulcers on ny legs, with which I have been troubled for nany years. Several doctors also attempted lo cure me but failed. I have used only a few bottles of B. B. B. (made at Atlanta, 3a.,) and the effect has been truly magical, is they have all healed and I am cured. It is worth all medicines made for purifying the :>?ood. This Wonderfully quick cure has heen iffected after everything else had failed. Your nedicine is a daisy, and has done the busi les? for rae. I have lived here twenty-five rears. My general health is also improving, tppetite and digestion good. I sleep soundly, md never felt better. Doctors told me that I :ou!d not be cured, but B. B.
