Dear Sir-For seven eight years past have

very feeble. nv health continued to decline, and
my flesh and strength wasted away, until ! was
unable to work, or even TO go up stairs without
great exhaustion. ! suffered from frequent ana
distressing attacks of palpitation OF the heart my
food distressed me, causing acidIty and PAIN IN
the stomach, and suffered from extreme nerv-
business constipation, and debility OF the system
generally, my blood being thin and poor and slug
gish in circulation, and was for years suffering
an the tortnres OF a confirmed dyspeptie. About
six months since concluded would try a bottle
OF PERUVIAN SYRUP. and received so much
benefit from II that purchased five bottles more
and have continued the use of the SYRUP until
quite recently. IL has restored my health to such
extent that feel myself as good new. My
digestion is good and my weight mas increased in
the past four months from i20 to l3S pounds. my
strength has returned, and my general health is
thus wonderfully improved, and can truly say
owe 1t all to the use Of your PERUVIAN SYRUP.
| earnestly recommend all sufferers from dyspepsia
and debility to give II trial, hoping it Will do them
as much good as 1t has me.
