~ Ny wife has been afflicted for number of
years with general dropsy; about year past it
increased to an alarming state, so much that her
limbs at times have swollen to one third over the
natural size. The disease continued to reduce
her i9zlFength. After trying many kinds of
medicinN, came to the conclusion that her case
was quite hopeless. When your Vegetable Lith-
sontriptic Mixture was recommended concluded
that Iwould try once more, and by so doing
found it successful in curing. After using two
large and one small bottle she believes herself
entirely cured. Igive you this testimony hoping
that It may prove benefit to those who may be
afflicted with the game disease, that they may
try it and find relief-and also wish to express
my gratitude to Dr.. Vaughn the inventor of this
medicine. JARIUS COOKn
