Well and Happy.

| take pleasure in submitting the fol-
lowing statement OF facts that you may
know the great benefit that has resulted
from the use OF your Specific in the case
OF my little daughter, now ten years of
age. The child when two years OF age,
had a severe attack Of scarlet fever,
which left her with a shattered con-
stitution. Among other evidences of
impaired nutrition was what the doctors
called softening OF the bones. In her
fifth year she happened to slight acci-
dent which resulted in the dislocation of
the hip joint, and, from the irratation
thus set up, terrible assesses of the hip
ensued. The abcesses, despite the best
medical treatment that could be Oh
tanned, remained for three years, dis
charging continuously. At this time,
through the influence OF friends, put
her on your S. S. S. When this treat.
ment was commenced the abscess was
very large, having six perforations, pus
discharging through them all. During
this treatment several spicula of bone
came out, and by the time she hak fin
ished her fifth bottle the abscess had
entirely healed, her appetite and general
health had been restored in short she
was well and happy, and so continues.
