Surprising Tcytimony.

Many physicians who have examined
into the merits Of b. B. B. Botanic
Blood Balm), have been confronted
with testimony which they deemed sur
prising, and thus being convinced of
its wonderful efficacy. have not failed
to prescribe it in their practice as oc-
casion required.
III. l.. Cassidy, Kcnnesaw, Ga, writes:
"For two years my wife was great
sufferer: Skillful physicians did her
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
pletcly, incredible rs it may sound, and
she is now the mother OF healthy
