in an aggravated way.
Last sum ner was, from some cause, weak in my
spine and kidneys, and it was at times very hard to
retain the urine. Seeing your advertisement in the
Commercial, bought bottle of VEGETINE, and
commenced using according to directions. In two or
three days obtained great relief After using four
or five bottles noticed it had wonderful effect on
the rough, scaly blotcbes on my body and legs.
still used VEGETINE and the humorous sores one at
ter another disappeared until they were all gone, and

and nothing else.
