have one case here of a gentleman
suffering with dyspepsia, kidney and
liver disease, who has not been able
to do any labor for two or three
years past, who has been taking your
Arabian Tonic, which has resulted in
his going to work at his trade, as car

case as hopeless, as his situation was
generally known. The effect of the
medicine upon him has helped the
sale wonderfully. Please send us one
