H. ZEILra A CO., Philadelphia. P l I was afflicted for several years with disordered liver, which resulted in a severe attack of jaundice. I had as good medical attendance as our sec­ tion affords, who failed utterly to re­ store me to the enjovment of my former good health. I then tried tne favorite prescription of one of tn® most renowned physicians of Louis­ ville. Ky., but to no purpose; where upon I was induced to try Simni®®« ■Aver Kegnlator. I found imme­ diate benefit from its use, and It U'«* Duitely restored me to the full enjoy­ ment of health. A. H. 8HTRLEY. Richmond.
