Dear Sir-For seven or eight years past have
been in poor health. and for the past year or
very feeble. My health continued to decline, and
my flesh and strength wasted away, until was uu-
able to work, or even go up stairs without great
haustion. l suffered from frequent and distressing
attacks of papitation Of the heart. my food dis
tressed me- causing acidity and pain in the stomach;
and suffered from extreme nervousness, constipa-
ton, and debility or the system generally, my blood
being thin and poor and sluggish in circulation, and
was Tor years suffering all the tort lures of
frmed dyspeptic. About six months since 1
cluded would try bottle Of PERUVIAN SYRUP,
and received SO much benefit from it that pur-
chased five bottles more, and have continued the
use of the SYRUP until quite recently. 1t has re-
stored my health to such an extent that feel my
self as good as new. My digestion is good and my
weight has increased in the past four months from
100 to 1873 pounds; my strength has returned, and
my general health is thus wonderfully improved, and
L can truly say owe it all to the of PERUVIAN
SYRUP. I earnestly recommend all sufferers from
dyspepsia and debility to give it trial. hoping it will
do them as much good as it has me.
