    linco • he informs mo that he has not been troubled with the complaint since.' I found that I was troubled with that complaint lately, without knowing what was the matter with me. I took your medicine about the name tunc he did, and it cured me entirely. I can safely recom- mend them to others, hoping that this valuable medicine may have a general circulation for the good of mankind. I remain your friend, Paul Bebee. Waterford, Conn. lZth Oct., 1839. I hereby certify that I have for a short time made use of Doct. S. H. P. Lee's Pills, prepared for the cure of the Gravel, and have obtained help by the use of the same, having been troubled with the complaint for fifty years. I am now eighty-eight years old.

The following Letters are published by the special request of the writers :— East JBaddam, Conn., January 23d, 1S40. Doctor S. H. P. Lee : Dear Sir—For several years past I have been subject to frequent attacks of the Gravel in the kidneys and bladder, so severe at times aa to confine me to my house and bed, and my general health has been very much impaired thereby. The attacks would come on with a severe pain in the small of my back, across my loins, with numbness in my lower limbs, accompanied with cold chills, and great irritability of the stomach and in the neck of the bladder, with a constant inclination to void urine, attended with great disability to do so, and which deposited a red gravelly sediment, &c. Having taken the prescriptions given me by different physicians, and deriving only temporary relief, I began to despair of ever getting entirely cured, until recently ; having a severe attack last summer, I applied to your son at Leesville to prescribe some- thing to relieve me. He informed me, that when he was in practice, he had entirely removed this complaint in several instances, with your compound Gravel Specific. He obtained some from you for me, and I continued to take it according to your directions, for three or four weeks when all my distressing symptoms were entirely removed, and my general health began immediately to improve, and it is now, sir, more than six months, and I have had no return of the disease, and my health generally has been better this winter than I have known it for several years, which I impute entirely to the effects of your medicine. Having recently read youT Treatise on the Gravel, it gave me great pleasure to find that you had taken a course by which the public are to have the benefit of your medicine, and as I have had an opportunity of testing its curative effects in ray own case, f shall most cheerfully recommend it to ail those who are troubled with this afflicting disease. I am yours &c„, Htram Chase.
