Grippe Cured.

tLast winter I had bad cold and severe cough. I was lame in every joint and muscle. I was sick and felt as though was coming down with typhoid fever. It was no doubt a bad case of grippe. MT. E. P. Budge gave me bot tie of Brazilian Balm, saying he was sure 1t would help me. The relief was almost instantaneous. It quickly stopped my cough and took the grippe with all the pains and soreness out of my system. I gave the balance of the 5o-cent bottle to Mrs. Bishop Wiley for her daughter. It proved so beneficial she says she never intends to be without 1t. Edwin Fitz Jones, Cincinnati, Ohio.
