Kittrell, N. c., March 10, 90.
Mrs. Joe Person, Kittrell, N. c.:
Dear Madam; OF all the wonderful
cures your Remedy has effected, am
satisfied the case of Mrs. Rivers, OF
Warren county, is the most miTacul-
Gus. l saw her when she came here,
two or three years ago to commence
the treatment, and she was the most
frightful looking creature / ever saw.
She seemed to have some cancerOus
affection of the face. Her throat, chin,
mouth, nose and gums were almost en-
tirely eaten up and no one who saw
her thought she could live a month,
except your son, Mr.. r. M. Person, who
said he would cure her. She got a
supply of the Remedy and returned
home, and has been taking it ever
since. To-day l see her here again, thor
oughly cured, hardly a scar left. She
says she feels as well as she ever did,
but will continue taking the Remedy
for awhile to make sure there win be
no return.
The above are the simple facts of the
case, which l think those afflicted with
blood diseases should know.
Very truly yours,
C.. w. RANFY

In letter written June 6, 1894. Mrs.
Rivers says:
Mrs. Person, ] will write to let you
hear from me. My nose does not give
me any trouble whatever; / am in bet
ter health than have been in five years
and feel stronger, but without tho
medicine / would not be so. / am still
taking the remedy, though l stopped
it for while last fall and my nose
got worse. / had rather see you than
anybody i'm the world and want you
to write to me. My postoffice is now
AXtell, Warren Co., N. c., new Office.
A letter received from Mrs. Rivers,
dated February 2Sth, '95, says:
Mrs. Person, please send me another
box of your Remedy. / am better OF
now than l have been in two years,
but / thought / might get worse this
spring, and probably had better take
a little more medicine"
Whether my Remedy will cure Mrs.
Rivers or not, time can alone deter
mine; one thing is certain, she would
have died had she not obtained my
Remedy when she did, and her letter
tells what it did for her at once; and
it is now holding it in absolute check
and / believe, by building up her sys-
tenn, it may eventually cure her.
Very truly,
