Avalon. Catalina Island, July 20, 1895.
Drs. Ballard & Whitman, Los Angeles.
rCal-Gentlemen: I am feeling SO we'll
now. and a months rest here has so re-
freshed me after my long illness that 1
feel impelled from gratitude to express
my appreciation of all that your con-
sumption treatment, coupled with your
skill, has done for me.
\ When left Chicago in November last
in search Of health for myself and chill
dren ! little realized that the irregular
temperature, night sweats and COM
plete exhaustion upon the slightest ex-
ertion that I was then experiencing
were the unwelcome harberings of that
dreaded disease consumption Under the
influence of Southern California's balmy
climate my two children were soon In the
best OF health, but a four months SO
1ourn here found me worse than ever
(although constantly under a physi-
clans care) and with racking cous n
growing upon me daily.
It was then that my husband urged
me daily by mail and by telegraph
from Chicago to consult you, and to take
your improved tuberculin" treatment.
with which he was familiar, but of whicn
had not up to that time heard.
Acting on his advice began the treat
ment about April 1st, and in about six
weeks the cough had disappeared and
the variations in temperature were very
much reduced; in ten weeks the night
sweats were thing Of the past, and In
three months felt well, and when dis
charged from your care few weeks ago.
after less than four months treatment,
I believed then, and am positive now
that every trace of that dreaded dis
ease, consumption, has been eradicatad
from my system.
am grateful to you for what your
skill has done for me, grateful to the
science that placed the means of help
Ing me at your disposal, and, above all
grateful to the Providence which d.
rected me to you in my extremity.
l write this out Of the fullness of a
grateful heart. with the hope that II
may be the means of influencing others
who may, unfortunately, be afflicted
with pulmonary trouble, to lose no time
in seeking relief by your improved tu.
berculin" treatment. With kind re.
CARDS, I am, gratefully,
MRS. T. w. RIORDAN.

Testimonial from a patient cured
about one year ago:
SANTA CLARA, Cal, Aug. 2S, 1896.
DR.. W. H. Ballard-Dear Sir: When j
first went to you for treatment for con-
sumption in Chicago last year was re-
duced almost to a skeleton, and was
growing weaker every day. Your "im-
proved tuberculin" treatment proved tc
be just what needed. and in my case
complete cure for tuberculosis.
I feel SO grateful for what your treat
ment has done for me that shall always
do all I can to spread the news of this
wonderful cure, as 1 am anxious that
every one suffering from tuberculosis
should know it.
Respectfully yours.
MRS. A. B. HASTINGS.
What has been done for a young man
Of this county:
TOLUCA, Cal, Sept Sth, 1896.
Drs. Ballard & Whitman-Dear Sirs:
Having received the benefit Of your i'm
proved tuberculin" treatment. I desire
to give my testimony as to the beneficial
results fromit
In May last, after gradually running
down for about one year, was suddenly
and forcibly reminded that I had some
serious lung trouble by having several
hemorrhages, which greatly reduced
my strength and led me to seek medical
advice. severe cough, night sweats
fever, weakness and other symptoms
soon reduced me till I lost weight and
strength and was unable to do any work
In July began treatment with you
and now, after just two months treat
ment, I am improved to such an extent
that am a surprise to myself and nv
friends. All of the symptoms have dis
appeared, there being absolutely no
cough or expectoration and no fever O,
night sweats. My weight has increased
and strength returned so that l have
been able to resume my work, and am
happy to be able TO consider myself
cured of consumption and restored to
health.
Yours respectfully,
@1ifGr w. p. CAREY.
