He Is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P: P. P, Lippmaa's Great Rem
edy, Fer Il,

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla.
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth Just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract
from his letter: "Truth is stranger
than Fiction"
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TlSM COMPLETELY CURED.
& George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side Of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him In torture. He
had consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. P. P. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. P. P, Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, If neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the Irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. P, Lippman's Great Remedy.

not follow that because one looks well in

Popularity in dress is never in good
taste, nor can woman expect to be

Staring at him didn't disconcert him in

of glossy, dry leaves and tendrils.

So went up the well-kept walks and
past the brown buildings, with their wide

by, hurrying here and there, tall, WELL
