He Is now Cured, and He Thanks God

edy For N

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-
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter: Truth is stranger
than Fiction"

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that =. p. T., Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia aud rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay liz his check bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered aConies for weeks nj n time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit q teaspoon. and any acid II
his food would put him in torture. Es

Lowenkopf, as Gottfried Johannes has
already done so. He came busting into
the chamber. as though the palace were
on fire. In his haste and his short sight
edness, he advanced too far, and almost
stumbled into my lap.

"Good morrow, your majesty" he an
