some rest. The pains would first COM

my limbs, at the same time drawing the
cords terribly. My arms would also be
lame and panied me SO much that it was

back and limbs covered with rheuma-
tism plasters, but they did not ease the
pain and I had to suffer.
| In connection with this my stomach
troubled me greatly. Food soursd and
lay like load. Then again gas would

and sometimes would vomit up por-
tion of what had eaten. employed
doctors, but received little or no relief.
also tired several remedies which I saw
advertised, but without good results.
One day read about Puritana, and
had my husband get me bottle. The
treatment began very soon to have ben

been cured. {Signed)
