DR.. Jordan, KeattIe, Wash:
Dear Sir-There has been a regular epi-
demic OF oiphtheria in Fall City precinct
ever since February. People were dying
very fast and the local physicians failed in
checking the disease. | happened tc be out
of your medicines when one of my friends
was very sick. so / went to neighbor and
borrowed the remnants of a supply, which
he used until he got entirely well. He had
been given up to die, but the medicines
brought him out ali right
We also were ont OF medicine when Mr..
Flint was taken very sick with diphtheria.
but rode seven miles and telegraphed for
some. He says he could not possibly have
lived but a short time when he commenced
taking the Hlstogenetic medicines.
Mr.. Shaw, OF Tolt, George Parker and
Mr.. Hazelton were all nearly dead with
the same disease, but after taking your
medicines got entirely we'll. Mr.. Hoffman
had three children all dangerously sick
with diphtheria. Two of them stopped
the use of the Histogenetie medicines and
sought aid from other physicians. They
died. The other one refused to give up
your medicines and made perfect recov-
cry.

years, and in my wife's case the medicines
did an immense amount OF good for a
complication of troubles. | could see In
three days after my wife commenced TAX
ing them that she was better and her
cough was almost well. The general opin-
ion here now is that these are the only
medicines that cure and nearly everyone
in the vicinity has used them for all kinds
of troubles and always with beneficial re-
suits and new keep them in their homes
Old man Jose told me the other day that
he would not take $4,000 for what YOU had
done for his heart trouble. Mr.. Taylor's
little boy was another victim to diphtheria
who recovered with the help of your medi-
cines, and | could mention many more had

Yours gratefully,

cautious, he accepted and was taken into

this giant oak, under whose branches the
deed of death was done.
