VALUABLE NOTICE.

I hereby state a valuable fact. My hogs were dying with Cholera in
the fall of 1871; I offered the lot for a certain sum of money.
They were dying every day with Hog Cholera, in Boone County. I
finally offered them for a mere nominal sum, not being one-fifth
part of the value of the hogs, had not the Cholera been among them,
and they dying every day. Dr. J. H. Stephens of Centralia, Mo.,
said he could cure them, and Mr. R. E. Edwards, of Centralia, Mo.,
having faith in Dr. Stephens, bought the hogs. To my own knowledge,
the hogs were cured and fatted up, and made well; and I say for the
benefit of the public, that I believe that Dr. Stephens can either
cure or prevent Hog Cholera on any man's farm. I advise all farmers
to get his great and valuable remedy; it may save you thousands of
dollars.

Given under my hand this June 22nd, 1872. This is for no benefit of
mine, but alone for the benefit of the public. This is a fact.

Centralia, Boone Co., July 3, 1872.

Dr. Stephens, of this place, I believe, has discovered at last the
great remedy both to cure and to prevent Hog Cholera. This disease
has made its ravages among hogs in every State like cholera among
men, but I hope and believe from experience, that Dr. Stephens has,
after all the remedies have been tried, discovered the great and
only reliable remedy, I am satisfied from theory and experience
that his remedy will both cure and prevent Hog Cholera. I bought a
lot of hogs, every one of which had the Cholera, on the faith that
Dr. Stephens would cure them. I bought the hogs of E. T. Bennett,
living in our town. They were dying every day, and I bought them at
a mere nominal sum, it not being, perhaps, one-fifth or sixth part
of the value of said hogs. I called on Dr. Stephens, and he
instructed me what to do. The remedy cost me but a trifle and I
cured every one, and my hogs fattened and did well--other hogs
dying all over town--mine cured sound and remained healthy. I am
not afraid of Hog C
