J. J. REEVES & CO., Druggists,
Sulpur Springs, Hopkins connty, Texas.
The proprietor has hundreds of home cer-
tificates to prove the unrivalled efficacy of
his remedies, of which the following are spec*
i mens. And, first, that I may not Be suspect-
ed as being one of the short hand doctors
manufactured in Texas, I will present Ihe
testimony of a minister of the gospel of my
native State given me some ten yeais ago.
Walker county, Ga., Nov. 9, 1843.
I hereby certify that 1 have been four years
seriously afflicted with an affection oí livei;
and kidneys,and for five months prior to bear-
ing of Dr, J. J; Reeves* Medicines, I was con-
fined to my house, and most of my time jn
my bed ; during whieh time I had been un-
successfully treated by five physicians, all of
whom were recommended as eminent. Aft' r
which 1 commenced the use of Dr. Reerea'
Liver medicines, whic!> gave marked relief in
three days, and in a short time I was entirely
elieved from ths di seise, aad I now consider
myself entirely well.
THOMAS GROG AN.
State of Texas, Smith eo., Jan. 15,1856.
I certify that I have been using Dr. J. J.
Reeves' Stimulating Expectorant in my family
for two years, during which time I have used
i t in sveraJ eases of pneumonia, and I can
confidently say that I think it has boen the
means of saving the lives of several members
of my fsmily. I therefore give it the prefer-
ence over all other Expectorante and balsams
extant in the land, and recommend it espa*
eially in that distressing disease, as standing,
in my opinion, unrivalled.
MILTON CARTER.
Smith connty, Texas, 1856.
This is to certify that I have used D. J. J,
Reeves' Stimulating Expectorant in my family
in a severe case of pheumonia, and ¿nd it ta
be j jst what it is recommended to be—the
best article in the cure of that disease I have
ever seen. It acted like a charm, and I ua
hesitatingly recommend it to everybody.
