Testimonial oure of* forty years' corn: "Richmond May, 1864.— Dea* Sirs,— Being severely tried by a large and most troublesome corn on the top of oneoi my toes for more than forty years, and having had it twice pretended to be taken out, and I have often tried other means to dissolve our union, but in vain, 1 was at length induced by your recommendation to try your Corn Solvent, which I am happy to say, in five days from its being first applied, enabled me most successfully to triumph over my unwelcome companion, to get rid of which I have several times had serious thoughts of having the toe amputated. I am now, after waiting ten or twelve months to see if it would return, entirely free from all pain it occasioned, as well as any appearance of its return. I have recommended it to some of my family and friends, who have been equally successful in re- moving these old and troublesome intruders.

I am, &c, H. W.
