Cheery Words

From gentleman of Texas to his own
people, and all others over the country.
Hear what he says:
have been practical druggist in
Tyler for number of years, and in that
time have had occasion to examine. try,
and notice the effect of nearly all the
highly recommended preparations or pat
ent medicines on the market, and as
have suffered untold misery myself, the
past number of years, from severe form
of inflammatory rheumatism. and could
find nothing to cure or relieve me, l had
almost drawn a conclusion that all pat
ent medicines were more or less frauds
until about one year ago. / was in
duced ty friend now living in Tyler to
try preparation known as B. or Bo.
tanic Blood Balm. and after long per-
suasion on his part. l finally made up
my mind to make one more effort to rid
myself of the terrible aff1iction; and it
now affords me the greatest pleasure of
my life to state to the citizens of Smith
county that am entirely cured, with no
traces of the disease left, and all effected
by the magic healing properties of B. B.
B., which l consider the grandest, purest
and most powerful blood remedy known
to man. l have been subject to in>
f1ammatory attacks since ten years of
age, and up to the present time have had
four. The last spell came on me in
November, 1885, over year
ago. at which time was
confined to my bed for eight weeks, PASS
ing the nights IN misery, with no sleep
except when produced by narcotics and
various opia'es. The week previous to
using B. b. B. up to that time had only
eaten six meals, and could scarlely sit up
without support; but after using three
bottles was able to relish my meals and
to walk up town, and after six bottles
had been used, thank heaven, | was en-
tirely cured, and not the slightest pain
felt since that time. When / returned to
business in February, my weight was 145
pounds. but gradually increased until my
regular weight was again attained. 210
pounds. The noticeable fact in what
have so cheerfully stated is. that this un-
paralleled and remarkable discovery, B.
B. B. cured me in mid winter, at the
very time my sufferings and misery were
the greatest. take it on myself as
practical druggist to heartily. cheerfully.
as well as conscientIously, recommend
this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers
| of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not
only myself, but the firm of Mckay &
Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully in
dorse its superior merits.
