“About this time I visited a patient who had been married about seven
years without having children, who was affected with fluor albus
(whites), and was using ‘Morand’s Elixir,’ by my recommendation, to
eradicate this weakening complaint from the system. This lady having
been married seven years, as I before observed, without offspring, had
nearly resigned herself to a conviction that she was destined to have
none. In recommending ‘Morand’s Elixir,’ I had the fullest confidence
that it would accomplish a thorough cure of her complaint, because I had
often used it in my practice, and with invariable success, but I had
neither hope nor expectation of its ability to remove what I then
considered confirmed sterility, or barrenness, as I then gave no
credence to the various marvellous properties it was alleged to possess,
classing it merely among the impositions of the day. The lady continued
its use, and I found her health evidently and perceptibly improve. The
fluor albus entirely disappeared and her health was restored. Under
pretence that she derived great benefit from it she still continued its
use, however, and to my utter surprise, as well as the great joy of her
husband, four months after she commenced its use, she became pregnant,
and in due time was delivered of a fine, fat, healthy daughter, and had
two more children in close succession after.[49]
“The lady being of the most pure and irreproachable character, it may
well be supposed that it gave me the greatest confidence in recommending
this truly wonderful ‘Elixir,’ in like cases. When, therefore, I was
consulted by the husband of the lady first mentioned, I did not hesitate
to recommend ‘Morand’s Elixir,’ and informing him of its effect in the
case described. My advice was followed. In due course of time this
worthy couple had their fondest wishes realized. Since which time they
also have had several children. Their gratitude to me for recommending
its use, was unbounded. My confidence in the virtues of ‘Morand’s
Elixir,’ was confirmed, and I have heard of its success in other
instances. Indeed, I am convinced, that if the case is curable,
‘Morand’s Elixir’ is infallible.”
