DANA SARsAPARILLA Co. -
Gents: wish to testify to the value Of
your Sarsaparilla. For some time past I
have been troubled with my kidneys,
being obliged to use the vessel many
times during the night, and in the
morning the urinal deposit would have
dense, milky appearance, besides
leaving brick-colored stain on the vessel,
which would require scrubbing to eradi-
cate. About three months ago met your
agent, Mr.. Simpson, who advised me to trya
bottle of your Sarsaparilla, and after much
urging l did try it, and am forced to say
that the result is truly wonderful. l am
no longer obliged to get up in the night,
my urine has no sediment, and feel that
the ONE BOTTLE which have taken
has effected RADICAL CURE. l
cheerfully recommend DANA'S SARSA-
PARILLA to all persons afflicted as I
have been.
Yours respectfully,
GEO. F. MARSHALL,
LEWISTON, Me.
