The writer is tit bereaved consort of a clergyman well known and much It mettled, and her testimony is ontitled to the highest cout deuce. She cheerfully consents to its publication, if, i your judgment, It ntny aid in commending your uselt brace to the patronage el those who would be most beneti ed by its use. Yours, respectfully, K. J. S . New York, July 15, 1847. Dear Brotiikr: » * * A change, yes, a worderfi change, bascotlie over me since 1 last wrote you. Oh ! sa you, what change ! I will lell'you. Would that I cottl a speak in the car of all my sex who are sutfering as yo know 1 have for years, I would tell them to look up and L J comforted. There is hope even for tlietn; yes, notwitl standing they may have "spent all their living on physiciat: without any benefit," but rather grew worse. Yes.ltrothe ' there is teltef for them. Dr. Hanriing's justly celebrated body brace is the gret panuoea. V <m are aware that 1 have used various otln 8 supports without much, if any, benefit. Well, what wi you say when 1 tell you I have been induced by a friend ( humanity.one that, like yourself, delights to relieve hi , suffering fellow-creature#.to try one of Dr. Running's brace as an experiment. I have worn it for some time, and ca now testily that language is wholly inadequate to expres tlio relief 1 have received from it. '1'hnt constant dull pui and pulling sensation in my right side is wholly obviate by the use of thp brace.likewise die pressing, bearin down of the abdomen is entirely relieved. That fowwii or feeling that the joints of the lower part of the spine wet e gone, is also entirely relieved. Likewise piles and cot statu constipation ol the bowels are wholly obviated. Yo well know how difficult it has been for me to walk any dii timce, f »r years, on account ofthose complaints. Since i cam to this city I have walked more than usual, and the coi 3 sequence has frequently la-en inability to rise from my be I tor hours. Since lutve worn the brace, I have been eni bled to walk uiiles dally with slight inconvenience. 1 hav told you tome of the ellocts on the hotly.the mortal paitf I truly feel this is marvellously supported. 1 could not hav l believed anything could have been devised that would t could so perfectly siipjiort the human body. Rut what sba 1 say of the effect on the mind.it is equally wonderful. Yo are well aware of the morbid despondency Iroin which have long suffered, often feeling that none had sorrows lik unto mine. Earth seemed like a blank > not so now, thank be to my Heavenly Father.hope has arisen in my heart I can now look with calmness and fortitude ti|>on life's pusi ing trials, feeling that I have many, very many, blessing: ' Now, dear brother, I want you to recommend this mo: useful panacea to all your patients.alHicted as 1 have beei aiu cohfident it will do more good lor them than all yoi: drugs and nostrums. 1 sincerely pray that the choicest c Heuven's blessings may rest upon the inventor of this woi der-working instrument.

New York, July 15, 1847.Dear Brotiikr: » * * A change, yes, a worderfi

change, bascotlie over me since 1 last wrote you. Oh ! sayou, what change ! I will lell'you. Would that I cottl

a speak in the car of all my sex who are sutfering as yoknow 1 have for years, I would tell them to look up and L

J comforted. There is hope even for tlietn; yes, notwitlstanding they may have "spent all their living on physiciat:without any benefit," but rather grew worse. Yes.ltrothe

' there is teltef for them.Dr. Hanriing's justly celebrated body brace is the gret

panuoea. V <m are aware that 1 have used various otln8 supports without much, if any, benefit. Well, what wi

you say when 1 tell you I have been induced by a friend (

humanity.one that, like yourself, delights to relieve hi, suffering fellow-creature#.to try one ofDr. Running's brace

as an experiment. I have worn it for some time, and canow testily that language is wholly inadequate to exprestlio relief 1 have received from it. '1'hnt constant dull puiand pulling sensation in my right side is wholly obviateby the use of thp brace.likewise die pressing, bearindown of the abdomen is entirely relieved. That fowwiior feeling that the joints of the lower part of the spine wet

e gone, is also entirely relieved. Likewise piles and cotstatu constipation ol the bowels are wholly obviated. Yowell know how difficult it has been for me to walk any diitimce, f »r years, on account ofthose complaints. Since i camto this city I have walked more than usual, and the coi

3 sequence has frequently la-en inability to rise from my beI tor hours. Since lutve worn the brace, I have been eni

bled to walk uiiles dally with slight inconvenience. 1 havtold you tome of the ellocts on the hotly.the mortal paitfI truly feel this is marvellously supported. 1 could not hav

l believed anything could have been devised that would tcould so perfectly siipjiort the human body. Rut what sba1 say of the effect on the mind.it is equally wonderful. Yoare well aware of the morbid despondency Iroin whichhave long suffered, often feeling that none had sorrows likunto mine. Earth seemed like a blank > not so now, thankbe to my Heavenly Father.hope has arisen in my heartI can now look with calmness and fortitude ti|>on life's pusiing trials, feeling that I have many, very many, blessing:

' Now, dear brother, I want you to recommend this mo:useful panacea to all your patients.alHicted as 1 have beeiaiu cohfident it will do more good lor them than all yoi:

drugs and nostrums. 1 sincerely pray that the choicest cHeuven's blessings may rest upon the inventor of this woi

der-working instrument. Whntu consolation must it b, to liiiu to know that through his agency so large a class (
