Dear Sir: Nearly four months have pass
ed since wrote you. AS know YOU are
interested in my case / wish to tell you
now L am progressing. Before | COM
menced taking your medicines | was suf-
iering most excruciating pain. | had tried
every sort OF remedy and gained abso-
lutely no relief. After | had taken the
Histogenetic medicines short time how
ever, the pain and swelling became less
until 1t was gone entirely. l cannot ex-
press my gratitude as | have been sick for
years, treating with so many prominent
physicians and getting worse all the time.
l bless the day that / left San francisco
Tor Washington as / kI. DIV that had / not
come here and consulted you I would
nave oeen IN my grave l wish that every
one might read this as / want them to
keow how much / have to be thankful

and bless your fellow creatures.
