Surprising Testimony.

Many physicians who have examined
into tho merits Of B. b. b. (BotaniC
Blood Balm), have been confronted
with testimony which they deemed sur
prlsing, and thus being convinced OF
its wonderful efficacy, have not failed
to prescribe it in their practice as oc.
casion required.
II. l.. Cassidy, Kcnnr9aw, Ga, writes
"For two years my wife was q great
sufferer. Skillful physicians did hc1
no good. Her mouth was one solid
ulcer, her body was broken out in sores
and she lost a beautiful head Of hair
Three bottles Of IS. B. b. cured her com.
plctely, Incredible as it may sound, and
she Is now the mother of a healthy
three months old baby clear from any
scrOfulOus taiEt."
a. II. Morris, Pine Bluff, Ark, writes,
"llot Springs and several doctors failed
to cure me Of several running ulcers on
my leg, B. Is. B. effected a Wonderfully
quick cure after everything else had
failed"
