Lucien Rodd of Whitehall, N. Y. being
by me duly sworn, deposes and says that
some years ago he suffered very greatly
with insomnia, nervous prostration and
his body was covered with sores, caus-
ing him great pain and annoyance. That
his head was so covered with sores that
he was hardly able to comb or even
brush his hair, so great was the pain it
occasioned.
That he consulted the local physicians
without successful result; that he took
quantities of medicine with no benefit
whatever; that physicians told him his
disease was incurable and he had come
to the same conclusion himself and had
made up his mind to go to hospital and
await d. ath.
That just about this time he learned
about DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, which he began to use
That this remedy entirely relieved and
cured him, healed and dried up his sores
enabled him to sleep soundly and com,
fortably, and restored him to his ordinary
vigor and vitality, in short, made sound
and well man of him so that he was fully
able to work at his occupation, and has
done so since that time.
That he attributes his recovery to DR.
