A BOSTON LAWYER,
What Mr.. John p. Wyman Says Of
Puritana,


Puritana.
The duties of his law practice make
Mr. John p. Wyman an exceedingly busy
man, and yet, when asked by an ac-
quaintance what he knew about Puritana,
he took time briefly to recount his ex-
perience.. Mr.. Wyman writes:
81 have long been subject to severe
headaches and to other symptoms which
seemed to indicate a nervous affection of
the stomach. Some weeks ago it occurred
to me that there might be virtue in
Puritana, which l was informed was the
formula of Prof. Dixi Crosby of Darth-
mouth College. AS it gave evidence of
being thoroughly good preparation, and
as there was chance that it might bring
me the relief which earnestly desired,
tried it to the extent of several bottles.
81 am not enough of medical man
technically to diagnose my own case, or
absolutely to measure the benefit derived
from the use of Puritana, but know, as
a fact, that after had been using Puri-
tana, l had a better appetite, better
nights sleep, and practically, freedom
from headaches, which had previously
caused me much suffering.
"The result is that feel sure the credit
can fairly be given to Puritana, and,
medicine, l am willing, on the basis Of my
own experience, to express the opinion
that Furtana is an important remedy for
troubles of the stomach and nerves"
