maGentiy cured, after a few weeks trial of your
blCoi remedy and ointment.
During these long Years OF suffering she has had

best physicians of this coast End OF Boston, her
former nome mas visited and tested number OF
the mineral springs II this coast, and has given
about ali of the extensively advertised proprietary
medicines a thorough trial.
But proprietary medicines mineral springs, physi-
clans, sllopathic, homeopathic, magnetic-ln fact,
every known form of treatment as they have been
recommended, one after anotner-hGUe all failed to

very worst a last resort, she wss induced by
sympathziug friends to place herself under your
care, and the result is SO wonderful and so speedy
that feel 1t TO be my duty to you, and to suffering
humanity, to make known to the pubic the aston.

wonderful remedies.

which has been stiff and helpless all these years. Is
growing stronger and more timber every day In
stead of being carried up and down stairs and from
one room to another, as has been necessary Tor
years, she is now perfectly independent OF help;
goes about alone indoors and out goes down town
alone frequently each week, and walk several
blocks each day; gains strength each day has
good appetite, and sleeps and rests WELL and for the
first time for years looks forward with bright hopes
