Distinguished Testimony No secret society in the work! stands higher in noble aims and charitable accomplishments than the Knights of Pythias. That order is doing great good, ana one oi us uuesi. iumuu :ions is the Ohio Pythian Home, at Springfield, Ohio, which is ably presided over bv Superintendent Le Fevre and his wife, Mrs. Callie I. Lc Fevre, the matron. The latter has recently written a letter, which will command widespread attention because of the prominence of the writer. It is as follows: "Messrs. W. H. Hooker & Co., New York Last year I used Acker's English Remedy at the suggestion of a friend, for a serious, long-standing throat difficulty and extreme ly hard cough. Had used many well-spoken of prepara tions without relief. I can honestly say that Acker's English Remedy removed the difficulty and 'stopped Hic cough. I did not purchase ir mnrn til nil f 1irn rWkl" - Callie tics, 'and at least one-half of the last is still on hand. I also consulted phy sicians with no permanent results." (Signed) Cau.if. I. U: I- i'.vre. The friend to whom Mrs. Le Fevre refers as having suggested Acker's English Remedy is Mrs. W. B. Chilton, wife of the president of the Iroy Transfer Co., of Troy, Ohio, where this remedy has accomplished many other cures in Throat and Lung Troubles. In conversation with an acquaintance Mrs. Le Fevre also said: "If you will call on Sir. V. H. Schauss, a prominent china and art merchant of Springfield, Ohio, you will find that he, too, has had any amount of experience with Acker's English Remedy in his family, and thinks they cannot keep house without it." Acker's English Remedy is sold by alt druRRists under a positive guarantee that vour money will be refunded in case of failure, sjc, soc, and $i a bottle in United States and Canada. In England, is. 2d., js. id., and 4s. 6d. Ycauthorix the abort guarantee. "'. IX. 1100KEH A CO., Proprietors, -Vtu iork. For sale at Blakeley's Pharmacy. .Joint IiKIHllat Ion.
