Rochester, March 2d, 1854.

This is to certify, that my daughter Maria, aged nine years, was so afflicted with scrofula that her ears were eat through into her head, and her face, neck, and head, was a mass of corruption; she became blind, and had fits. I had employed every skillful physician in this city, and elsewhere, and patent medicine, to no avail. When Madame Young came into this city, we were prevailed upon to try her medicine, as she had wrought so many wonderful cures here. We employed her, and, thanks be to my Heavenly Father, in two months my beloved daughter was healed. Madame Young is a true Christian--skillful in the healing art. We recommend her to all afflicted, as the only sure way to health.

Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 6, 1854. W. H. SPRING.

I hereby certify, that the treatment of Mrs. Young, with roots, has done me much good; my stomach has been weak for a great many years. Only fifteen days since, I commenced using roots given me by said lady, and I am impelled to-day to testify, that within twenty years I have not been as well--so easy, so refreshed through my whole system. If I so testify, it is because of my hope that many of the Rochesterians will probably experience, as I do, the unutterable pleasure of finding themselves, in a few days, restored from a weakly condition of body, to the freshness of health. This reminds me of what I was often told--namely, that the men of long bygone days lived so long, because their thorough knowledge in using these roots of the earth--simple, natural physics from our bountiful God.

Rev. A. SAUNIER, French Priest,
Ely Street, Rochester, N. Y.

This may certify, that we, the subscribers, have employed Madame Young in our families, in the treatment and cure of various diseases; and that her management--particularly in chronic diseases which had baffled the skill of the most distinguished physicians--has been eminently successful, and highly satisfactory. For several years we have been acquainted with her character, and, knowing her to be worthy of confidence, we cheerfully recommend her to those who may stand in need of her services, as a truly devoted Christian and skillful physician. For seven years she was presiding physician over the Shakers’ Society at New Lebanon, N. Y.

Petersham, Mass., March 5, 1850.

This is to certify, that my husband has been afflicted for nine years with the asthma, and several physicians who have attended him gave him over as past help, and must die of consumption. He has been obliged to spend several hours, on a cold winter’s night, with his breast upon the sill of the open window, to get his breath. I have called my friends and neighbors, as I supposed, to see him die. But, through the instrumentality of Mrs. Young, and the blessing of Providence, he has been restored to a comfortable state of health. “The wind bloweth where it listeth; we hear the sound thereof, and we cannot tell whence it cometh nor whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of God.” And this seems the case with Madame Young.

Rochester, N. Y.
ANN NURSE, FRANCIS NURSE.

This may certify, that I was afflicted nine years with scrofula, diseases of the throat and glands, in breathing--called by physicians bronchitis, asthma, neuralgia, and six years with tic doloreaux. Consulted twenty-two physicians, and have been under the immediate care of fifteen, and I obtained no permanent cure, but a little partial relief, which was not of long continuance. All gave me up as incurable, and prescribed only opium, internally and externally. At this time, my friends concluded that before another year they must convey me to an Insane Hospital for life, at the age of 32.

Thanks to my Heavenly Father, we heard of the many blessings that had been conferred through the instrumentality of Madame Young. As the last recourse we sent for her, and she, with her indefatigable zeal for the relief of suffering humanity, soon removed the cause, by renovating the blood; and I am, after following her prescriptions three months, perfectly well, and have not taken any medicine for one year. I write this rather long testimonial, to encourage invalids to put entire confidence in Madame Young, as she is truly pious, and a skillful physician.

Given under my hand, at Spencer, Mass., February 20th, 1850.

ELEANOR P. BUSH.

I certify, that my wife has been in a feeble state of health for eight years; was at first attacked with typhus fever, and brought very low. Since, according to the opinion of many noted physicians, who have attended upon her, she has been afflicted with the spinal disease, neuralgia, &c., which baffled their skill, and yielded not to their medicine. Six weeks since she was again taken down with the typhus fever, and was very much reduced, when she employed Madame Young. She now enjoys a very good degree of health. The disease which has so long afflicted her, with its attendant difficulties has been made to yield, and she now enjoys the greatest of temporal blessings--good health.

Petersham, Mass., March 1, 1850.
Rev. J. SHEPARDSON.

This is to certify, that my wife has been in a state of ill health for four years, with pains and a cough, and scrofula internally and externally. Eminent physicians and patent medicines were tried, to no avail. Finally, as medicine rather irritated, we gave up, and concluded she must die. Hearing of the many remarkable cures of our friends by Madame Young’s syrups, we employed her, and I can in gratitude thank my Heavenly Father that my wife is well, and can attend to the duties of our family.

JONATHAN RING.
Chesterfield, April 20, 1847.

With feelings of gratitude toward God, and for the benefit of my own sex, I publish the following: In the year 1840, I was taken with a pain in my spine, and faintness, had fits, and my bowels were in a constipated state. I grew worse daily, and new diseases came upon me--scrofula, chronic rheumatism, with prolapsus uteri. Year 1848, I was unable to help myself in the least. In March, 1848, I was recommended to Madame Young, and as physicians had given me up as incurable, I sent for her, as the last resource; and I can say with truth, in less than five months I could go about and attend to the duties of my family.

Given under my hand, at Chesterfield, Jan. 25, 1849.
SARAH BARNARD.

It is with pleasure that I am permitted to add my testimony to the many in favor of Madame Young, as possessed of skill in determining the character of diseases and in applying the remedy, especially such diseases as are common to females. My wife was troubled with the prolapsus uteri, and scrofula and dropsy for a number of years, and spent much time and money in seeking relief from physicians, but found it not, until, in the Providence of God, she was permitted to see Madame Young, in whom she found a friend and physician indeed, and was soon constrained to feel that there was “balm in Gilead” for the afflicted. Suffice it to say, that she was restored to that degree of health, which for years she had been a stranger to. I can heartily recommend Madame Young to all the afflicted of Adam’s race.

Petersham, March 6, 1850.
THOMAS T. JENKS.

This may certify: I was afflicted with dropsy, was given up by physicians as incurable; having had the canker rash and measles four years previous, which had settled in my joints, so that I could not bend them; pronounced by physicians, rheumatic gout. I was also afflicted with shortness of breath, spasms, &c. At this time, I had a son troubled much with diabetes. I was in despair of ever seeing my son well. When Madame Young came to this village, Sept. 12th, I applied to her; she attended my family three months, and I can say in truth I have laid aside crutches and cane, and am able to do a good day’s work on my farm; my son is restored to health, thanks be to my Heavenly Father.

I recommend this truly good Samaritan to old and young, as she never lost a child placed under her medical care, after the physicians gave them up to die.

JOHN HOW.
Barre, Mass., March 2, 1850.

This certifies, that my daughter, Phebe A. Jones, aged four years, has been severely afflicted with scrofulous affections in the neck, so that her head was drawn on one side, thereby causing much pain and suffering; and after being doctored and operated upon by the best physicians and surgeons in this city, was given up by them as incurable, they not being able to afford her the least relief.

I was recommended to Madame Young, who, in less than eight weeks, cured her of every vestige of disease, and she now enjoys the most perfect health. This certificate is given in the hope that others afflicted may know where to find relief.

JOHN JONES.
Albany, Feb. 16, 1849.

We, the subscribers, hereby certify that we have employed the bearer, Madame Young, personally in our families, in the treatment and cure of diseases; that her course has been entirely satisfactory, especially in chronic complaints. We recommend her to the afflicted, as possessing much skill in the healing art.
