DR.. J. Eugene Jordan, Seattle, Wash
Dear Sir: | would have written to YOU
before this. but thought l would wait
awhile and see if there would be any re-
lapse. 1t has been six months since
stopped your treatment, and, as there has
been no return of former symptoms, am
assured that my cure Is complete. l can
eat kinds of food now that I have not
been able to eat for fifteen years, and 1 do
not remember that my bowels were ever
so regular. | am indeed a thousand times
obliged to you for what you have done for
me. We have used your medicines in our
family several times for acute cases and
always with the best results. I am fully
satisfied that you can cure anything that
can be cured. l shall always be pleased
to recommend your treatment to others,
for to you and your remedies l owe more
than can ever express. pray God that
you may live many years to benefit others
as you have me. Please accept the graft
tude of an overlooking heart.
Respectfully yours,
MRS. c. HoLCoMB.
