Dkar Brother : * * * A change, yes, a worderful
change, lias come over mo since 11 nst wrote you. Oh I say
- you, what change 7 I will tell you. Would that I coulil
-peak in the ear of all my sex who are suffering as yon
f know I have for yenrs, I would tell them to look up and he
1 comforted. There is bene even for thein ; yes, notwith
standing they may have "spent nil their living on physicians
, without any benefit," but rather grew worse. Yes.hrbther,
- thero is relief for them.
i Dr. Banning's justly celebrated body brace is the great
- panacea. You tire aware that I have used various othtr
- - mnnl, if W.ll ?h>l Will
i yoii say when 1 tell you 1 have been induced by a friend oi
I humanity?one that, lilco yourself, delights to relievo his
j sullering fellow-creatures? to try one ofDr. Manning's braces
' as an experiment. I have worn it for some time, and enn
t now testily that language is wholly inadequate to express
the relief I have received from it. That constant dull pain
I and pulling sensation in my right side is wholly obviated
? by the use of the brace?likewise the pressing, bearing
down of the abdomen is entirely relieved. That ganrttrn,
1 or feeling that the joints of the lower part of the spine wero
' gone, is also entirely relieved. Likewise piles and con>
slant constipation of the bowels are wholly obviated. You
well know how ditiicult it has been for me to walk nny disr
tance, Iji years, on account of those complaints. Since I came
to this city 1 have walked more than usual, and the con1
sequence has frequently been inability to rise front my bed
t for hours. Since! havo worn the brace, I have ltcen enaI
bled to walk miles duity with slight inconvenience. I have
told you some of the eMeets on the body?the mortal part?
- I truly feel this is marvellously supported. J could not have
s believed anything could have been devised that would or
" oould so perfectly support the human body. But what shall
l I say of the etfect on tire mind?it is equally wonderful. You
i are well aware of the morbid des|>oiidency from which i
have long suffered, often feeling that none hail sorrows like
unto mine. Karth seemed like a blank : not so now, thanks
ho to my Heavenly Father?hope has arisen in my heart;
I can now look with calmness and fortitude upon life's passing
trial-', leeling that 1 have many, very many, blessings.
Now, dear brother, I want you to rcconimund this uio*t
useful panacea to all your patients afflicted as I have been.
I ant confident it will do more good for them than ali your
drugs and nostrums. I sincerely pray that the choicest of
Heaven's blessings may rest upon tlie inventor of this wonder-working
instrument. What a consolation must it he
to him to know that through his agency so large a class of
sullerers have been relieved. * * * *
