WONDERFUL CURE-BY
DE: ROBERTS!
Grass VaLugy, June 27th, 1870.
This certifies that I have, for fifteen years,
been an invalid and“ great sufferer, from @
combination of most distressing diseases—
dyspepsia, spinal disease, prolapsus uteri, and
paralysis of left side. “No: tongue could tell
what I have suffered during the past three
yeats, Ihave been treated by eminent physiclans—by theiradvice have changed ‘my. élimate. I have also tried celeb: thineral
springs —all seemed of lit.Je.or no avail, and I
had-given up all hope of being anything but a
miserable sufferer the remainder of my days.
Dr. Roberts commenced. treating me by
Animal Magnetism and the Swedish Moyement Cure, Jane 6th, and with three treat‘ments I felt like afiéw creature. I have now
been tinder fils treatment fifteen days, and
have improved daily, . Nearly.all, my. difficul‘ties have entirely disappeared, and the.remaining ones are so far relieved that I feel
confident that time and eare ig all that
Ihave been acquainted with Dr. Roberts
him as one of the most reliable men; was the
happy recipient of bis healing power about
eighteen years ago; have been personally
yet a mere youth, that were really wonderful.
