Frederick Bues, Vinegar Manufacturer, of Freeport, Ill., says:-Dr. Chase's plan of making vinegar is purely scientific, and I am making it with entire success.

J. M. Chase, Canedea, N. Y., says: Your vinegar is all right. More than forty men tested it last Saturday, and they, to a man, say it is the best and pleasantest they

ever saw.

J. Clark, of Conneautville, Pa., said to me he had made $500 in four months, from the vinegar recipe.

L. Weber, grocer, of Crestline, O., says, May 26, 1859:-I purchased Dr. Chase's book about a year ago, and have made and sold the vinegar at a profit of about $40 on nine barrels. These statements refer to the "Vinegar in Three Days, without Drugs." H. W. Lord and B. Fox, grocers, of Pont ac, Mich., say:-We have kept eggs two years, by Dr. Chase's process, as good as when put down.

L. Howard, hotel keeper, (of the firm of Kimbal & Howard,) Waverly House, Elgin, Ill., says: We used eggs in June of this year, which were laid down in May of last year, by a plan just the same as Dr. Chase's, and they were just as good as fresh eggs, and as clean and nice in every way.

Wm. Buss, of the firm of Robinson & Co., grocers, of Erie, Pa., says-I have tried a recipe similar to Dr. Chase's egg preserving recipe, for several years with perfect success, and freely recommend it to any one wishing to deal in eggs.

John A. Vanhorn, merchant, of Marshall, Mich., says:-1 have been acquainted with Dr Chase's plan of keeping eggs for five years, and know that it will keep them as nice as fresh eggs.

T. L. Stevens, merchant, of Paw Paw, Mich., says that he is acquainted with the same thing, and knows that it is good.

Chapel & Graves, grocers, at Ottawa, Ill., say they paid $10 for the egg preserving recipe. I know two men, one of whom paid $100 and the other $125, for a part only of the vinegar recipes.

How bret & Fallor, druggists. of Bucyrus, Ohio, say:-Dr. Chase's Red Ink is superior to Harrison's Columbian Ink, and also that his Burning Fluid can have no superior.

Miller & Davis, bankers, Ann Arbor, Mich., say :-We have tried Dr. Chase's Common Ink, and find it a good article

Robert Heany, Jr., druggist, of Hendrysburg, O., says: I have tried several of your recipes, and so far find them good. The Eye-Water gives good satisfaction; the Good Samaritan takes the place of all other liniments in the shop; the Green Mountain Salve takes well for plasters, and Mead's Sovereign Ointment is doing for me what no other medicine has done, it is curing a sore on my back which has baffled all applica tions for more than two years. One doctor called it tetter, another erysipelas. It began like a ring-worm, and slowly spread, with the most intolerable itching. It is now nearly well, with only two weeks' use of the ointment.

Dr. A. S. Witter, Eclectic physician, of Battle Creek, Mich., says :-Either of Dr. Chase's preparations for the Ague is worth double what he asks for the whole list of recipes.

Prof. A. H. Platt, M. D., of Antioch College, Yellow Springs, O, says: To the Medical Profession: This certifies that the recipe in Dr. Chase's Collection, for the cure of Uterine Hemorrhage, is original with me, and has been in my practice for nearly twenty years, without a single failure.

L. S. Hodgkins, of Reading, Mich., says:-I have cured my wife of Cancer of four years' standing, with one of Dr. Chase's cancer cures. I know it has cured others also. W. J. Cook, M. D., of Mendota, Ill., says I have examined Dr. Chase's recipes, and find two or three worth more than he asks for the whole collection.

T. W. Church, dentist, of Coldwater, Mich., says :- I have been acquainted with Dr. Chase and his book of Recipes for about two years. All I have tested are found to be practical; and his prescription for my father, in paralysis, was found to be more effectual in giving relief than that of any other physician.

The editor of the Ann Arbor Local News says:-We have thoroughly examined the work published by A. W. Chase, M. D., entitled Dr. Chase's Recipes," and believe it to be a most valuable book for everybody. There is not, in our opinion, a single recipe contained in it that is not of great practical use.

N. S. Reed, harness maker, of Mansfield, O., says :-I have used Dr. Chase's Varnish Blacking for Harness over three years, and say it is the best I ever used.

J. & D. Minich, tanners, of Bucyrus, O., say:-We are using Dr. Chase's tanning and finishing recipes with good satisfaction.

Mrs. Morris, of Lima, near Ann Arbor, Mich., says:-I am using Dr. Chase's Washing Fluid, and have found it to be a very valuable recipe, and I would not do a washing without its aid for half the price of the book, weekly,

Stephen Allen, of Adrian, Mich.. says:-We have used A. W. Chase's Washing Fluid for two years, and my wife says she would not do without it for $10 a year, and it does not injure the clothes, but saves all bleaching.

Jacob Schoen, of East Saginaw, Mich., says :-The recipe of Dr. Chase's Washing Fluid is genuine, and like the same which I manufactured and sold for nine years in Vienna, the capital of Austria, in Europe.

H. W. Donnelly, postmaster of Parma, Mich., says:-My family have used a prepar ation in washing for ten years, similar to Dr. Chase's, and we know it to be practical and valuable. He said to a farmer, who asked his opinion of the book, buy one, says he --that recipe alone is worth the whole price, a dozen times.

The editor of the Country Gentleman says of the Washing Fluid, from several years' experience, that clothes not only wash easier, but look better, and last fully as long as when washed in the old way.

The Author knows that shirts will last twice as long, for the board-rubbing wears them out faster than body wear, and as two-thirds of that rubbing is saved, the wear is of course saved.

Gideon Howell, of Oramel, N. Y., says :-I have drank cider two years old, (kept by one of Dr. Chase's recipes,) as good as when put up and did not cost one-fourth of a cent per barrel to prepare it.

Sheldon Bebee, a farmer, of Cary, Ohio, says:-I put away cider in November, by one of Dr. Chase's recipes, to preserve cider, and it is now, in March, as good as when

first made.

Messrs. J. W. Bell & P. Mower, blacksmiths, of New Vienna, O., August 11, 1859, say: Dr. A. W. Chase: Dear Sir,-We have tried your process for re-cutting Files, and are happy to say to you that it works well; and we desire you also to send us the recipe for welding Cast-Steel without borax, which was forgotten when we obtained the other. [I sold to them before these recipes were printed in the book.]

John Miser, blacksmith, of Washington, Ohio, says, June 20th, 1859:-Dr. Chase tried his FileCutting Process in my shop last night, and I am satisfied that it is a good thing, and have purchased his book.

Wm. Russell, blacksmith, of Princeton, Ind., says, May 7, 1860-I purchased Dr. Chase's book of recipes this afternoon, and have tested the recipe for tempering MillPicks, to my perfect satisfaction, and also of the miller who used them. They cut glass also, very nicely.

J. Kinneman, miller in Union Mills, Union, Pa., says :-August 20, 1860, Mr. Todd, a blacksmith of this place, put one dollar in my hands to be given to Dr. Chase, if his Mill-Pick Tempering recipe gave satisfaction upon test; and the Doctor gained the

money.

G. C. Schofield, of Conneautville, Pa., says: -After using Wood's Hair Restorative without benefit, I have now a good head of hair from using a Restorative similar to Dr. Chase's, and I know his to be a superior article.

O. B. Bangs, of Napoleon, Mich., says :-Dr. Chase: Dear Sir,-Allow me to say, by using your Hair Restorative once a day for two weeks, gave me a beautiful dark head of hair in place of a silver-gray which had been my companion for years; and although I have not now used it in four months, yet my hair retains its beautiful dark appearance, and is soft and pliable as in youth. If it was used once a day for two weeks, and then two or three days only, every two months, no gray hair would ever appear. The expense of it is so very trifling, also, no one would feel it, as 31⁄2 pints cost only from 25 to 30 cents.

T. Shaw, cabinet maker, of Westfield, N. Y., says: I have used Dr. Chase's preparation in finishing furniture, about five years, and know it is good and better than any other thing I have used in thirty-five years.

Jonathan Higgins, a farmer, of West Union, Adams connty, O., says :-I have used Dr. Chase's treatment for Cholic in horses for the last 12 to 15 years, with perfect suc cess, and also on myself with as perfect satisfaction; and my wife says she likes Mrs. Chase's Buck-wheat Short-cake better than the griddle cake, and it is not half the trouble

to make it.

A. French, of Jackson, O., says: -Having cured many horses of Spavin and Bighead with a preparation similar to Dr. Chase's Ring-bone and Spavin Cure, I am free to say that this recipe is worth more than the whole price of the book to all who are dealing in horses. It also cures curbs, callouses, i flammations, etc., etc., and this I know from twenty years experience in staging.

J. M. Lowry, of Pomeroy, O., says: I have successfully treated more than 25 cases of bots, with Dr. Chase's remedy for that disease.

W. W. Robbins, of Milwood, O., says :-I purchased one of Dr. Chase's books about two years ago, and have used a number of the recipes, and I find all I have tried give entire satisfaction; and I now want your last edition,"

E. L. Burton, a glove manufacturer, at Gloversville, N. Y., says: I have never known any preparation for removing paint from clothes equal to Dr. Chase's Renovating Mixture, From experience.

Hiram Sisson, an old farrier and farmer, of Crown Point, Essex county, N. Y., says:-I have used Dr. Chase's Kitridge and Green Ointments for several years, on human flesh and on horses, in bruises and deep sores, with better success than any other preparation which I have ever used, and know they are no humbug, but are worthy of very great confidence.

Hiram Storms, dyer and manufacturer, at Ann Arbor, August 6, 1859, says :-I have examined and revised Dr. Chase's Coloring recipes, and am satisfied that they are practical and good. I have also furnished him with some valuable recipes in that line. "Dr. Chase's Recipes; or, Information for Everybody," a work of 384 pages, now passing through our press, treating upon some four hundred different subjects-over eight hundred recipes-being interspersed with sufficient wit and wisdom to make it interesting as a general reading book, besides the fact that it embraces only such subjects as have a practical adaptability to "Everybody's " every-day use, makes it certain y worthy of universal favor. From the Author's great care and watchfulness in personally supervising its preparation for stereotyping, and from the correctness of its general teachings, after examination of the proof sheets, we feel satisfied that no person will regret its purchase. As it is sold only by traveling agents, and only one agent in a County, none, who can possibly avoid it, should allow the work to pass without obtain ing a copy. It is only necessary to examine the Descriptive Circular," to satisfy every reasonable person of the truth of our statements.-Syracuse Journal, N. Y.

John A. Stanley, of Fountain Creek, Tenn., writing September 13, 1870, says :-I was cured of fever sores of ten years' standing, on my foot and right arm, by your Green Salve.

and

Mr. E. B. Osgood, of South Vineland, says :-I have one of your Recipe Books, you can judge how highly I value it when I tell you I paid away every cent I had to get it. My wife told me we could not afford it, but I told her that we could not afford to do without it. I have not changed my mind yet-would not part with it for $500, if I could not get another.

L. S. Mason, of Sacramento, Cal., writes February 19, 1870:-R. A. Beal: Dear Sir, I have seen your circular and book of recipes. A friend of mine, Dr. Brown, says it is the best book of the kind he ever saw. Says he would not be without one if it cost him $10. I am so pleased with it that I wish to aid in its sale. It is a book that will never wear out. Mrs. Clapp, of the Golden Eagle Hotel, Grass Valley, says she puts up all her fruit, vegetables, meats, preserves, and eatables by your book, and never has known any one of the recipes to fail.

Charlie Williams, of Warrensburg, Pa., writing July 20, 1971, says :-R. A. Beal: Dear Sir,-I can not say one-half I desire in praise of your great work; but speaking from experience, I can say that it has saved my life. In 1866 I was at Tyrone, Blair County, Pa., and was greatly annoyed by a large goiter or tumor, as Dr. Pancost called it, the same as Bronchocele in your book. I had doctored for several months and spent almost all my means, and despaired of a cure, when I was informed of Dr. Pancost's ability to cure such cases, and that he was at the head of his profession in this country. I had very little means, but procured a pass to go to Philadelphia and see this noted doctor. I spent five days there, and he probed it several times before his students, but at last gave it up. It grew very large, on the right side of my neck. Two years after I had almost become useless with it, when a gentleman on a train between Detroit and Chicago told me that if I would stop with him he would give me a recipe to cure it. I had very little faith in his recipe, but as it would cost me nothing to stop off and get it, I did so. He went to a certain book and read from it, and I copied it down. It was the only thing that ever did me any good. I continued to use it for ten weeks, and the swelling disappeared, and has never troubled me since. Several months afterwards I found that it was the recipe for Bronchocele in your valuable book.

G. D. Curtis, of Montrose, Iowa, says :-- I feel interested in the sale of your work on account of the good it has done us. By it we saved the life of one of our children that was poisoned by eating a colored card that came off from dry goods. Our family physician, on arriving at a late hour, told us we had saved the life of our child by the book, for it would have been dead long before he arrived had we not happened to have the book and used the remedy promptly.
