Messrs. Lippman Bros, Savannah Ga.-Dear
Sirs: would like to add my testimony to the
almost miraculous effect of P. p p. in the case
of Mary Ingraham, a woman living on my place.
She had a constant cough, sore throat, debility.
etc, and was emaciated to a degree that she was
unable to get out of bed unaided Being given
up by physicians, she had taken the ruinous So
called blood medicines without the least effect.
until being put under the P. P P. she immedi-
ately began to improve. and is now in as good
health as ever in her life. You can refer to me
at any time as to the effect of P. p T. in the
foregoing case. Yours truly,
