make no hesitation in saying that | know the
Negotine to be the most reliable remedy for Ca.
tarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
many years, and at times very badly. She has
thoroughly tried every supposed remedy that we
could hear of, and for all this she has for several
years been gradually growing worse and the dis
charge from the head was excessive and very of
fcnsive.
She was in this condition when she commenced
to take Negetine. | could see that she was i'm
proving on the second bottle. She continued
taking the Vegetine until she had used from
twelve to fifteen bottles. / am now happy in
informing you and the public, (if you choose to
make it public), that she is entirely cured, and
Vegetinc accomplished the cure after nothing else
would Hence feel justified in saying vegetine
is the most reliable remedy and would advise all
suffering humanity to try it, for believe it to be
good, honest vegetable medicine, and shall not
hesitate to recommend it.
