To the Pdbltc. —I, the undersigned, do this day make the following statement, m hopes that others who have gone through a similar affliction may profit thereby :— For many months havo I been sick ; so had that Hie was a burden. The menial depression and physical prostration were something that cannot be described. _ Doctors and patent medicines f have tried without any relief, but getting worse all the time. As a forlorn hope T called on Dr. Spoor, Palmerston Buildings, Queen-street, lie examined me, and without asking a qucs'ion, ga\ r e mo every symptom I had. Said he would U'eat mo. From the first teaspoonful of his medicine I felt relict, and havo been constantly getting better ever since. Words cannot express my gratitude. Tho above statement I make without any solicitation, and T am willing to verify tho same before a J.P.— Respectfully yours, R. ADAMgON Charlotte-street, Edeu Terrace.
