DR.. J. Eugene Jordan, Seattle, Wash,
Dear Sir: 1t is some weeks since | have
written you and in that time have inn
proved very much. The pain in my liver
and kidneys entirely disappeared. I have
not had sick headache since February,
and then it was very light one. Just
think have had them forty years and
never missed having from one to three
every month until they had worn me out.
| have gained in flesh, and everyone says,
"How well you look" l am so much
better than ever expected to be.
