troubled with constipation and piles, and
had severe chronic cough. In short, life

$40 Bellevue avenue. Los Angeles, CAL
To the Public: 1 take pleasure in tes-
tifying to my marvellous recovery under
the treatment of DR.. Wong Him of 639
Upper Main ST., Los Angeles, from a num-
ber of stubborn ailments. among which
were cnrQulc slck-HeauacneS, dyspepsia
and kindred stomach troubles, heart affec-
tion and kidney disease. But what l con-
slider this physician excelled in. so far as
my case is concerned, was in the restora-
ton of my eye service. Astigmatism
coupled with other disorders, was my af-
fiiction in this respect, and, although a
number of we'll known skilled oculists in
some Of the larger cities of this country
advised me I should always have to de-
pend upon glasses and receive but poor
service even then. DR.. Wong Him's rom
edies have enabled me to abandon totally
the use of any artificial help to sight and
my eyes continue to give such service,
both for near work and distant, as is truly
wonderful To the skill and remedies Of
tho physician named can alone be attrib-
uted q revolution in my physical condition
Of the ''incurable'' character OF my ar
fiictions. Respectfully.
