What has been the result?
"iou can see for yourself" The fact
that the speaker was the very picture Of
health and strength, and is engaged in
the most arduous duties in connection
with the navy department was a suiii-
cicnt answer, and Endorsement Of the
wonderful remedial effect OF this great
discovery.
Statements such as this are beyond
question. They agree. in every particu-
lar. with testimony that is given by men
and women throughout the country
who speak from past experience. Take,
for example, the case Of that we'll
known official. Col ID. a. Grosyenor Of
. Washington. ID. c.. who gives his opin-
ion in the following outspoken words:
About 1917" he says. Il received an

trouble at times, and my back across

The words Of such men cannot be
questioned. they are above dispute; they
are strong and convincing. They prove.
beyond the shadow IL doubt. that for
relieving those painful symptoms above
described no remedy can compare with
the great Safe Cure. which II the on y
