ISEASE OF THE HEART, RUPTURE AND
DROPSY.

NEW YORK July, D. 1916.
Dr.. TowNsEND-Dear Sir My wife has been af-
hicted with terrible rapture for over fifteen years
the greater pant of the time. She has been troubled
with shorness of breath & great uttering of the heart
which has been very distressing and has frequently
been unable to leave her bed The rupture was very
large and severe She tried almost every remedy for
such cases with but little benefit When she had Ia
ken but three bottles of your excellent medicine she
entirely relieved of the disease of the heart and
the rupture has almost entirely disappeared,
She has also had the dropsy, and was very much
fitted, as she had such n complication of diseases.
But 1t has, strange it may appear, relieved her
OF the dropsy | am aware that this statement is so
strange as to appear almost like fiction, but ii is
sober reality. Your Sarsaparlla is certainly valu-
able medicine, and should be used by every one that
suffering as we have been. If any disbelieve this
account, they liberty call at my house and
have ocular demonstration Yours, respectfully,
