who had tried to escape, or who, it
had been suspected, might try to es.

her worst troubles was chronic constipa-
ton of several years. standing. She also
suffered with general debility and
roxysms-sometimes as often as six or
eight times day. At this time she was
passing through that most critical period
in the life of fwoman-change of life.
"In June, 1895, I wrote to you about
her case. You advised course OF Pc
ru-na and Man-h-lin, which we at once
commenced, and have to say it has COM
pletely cured her. She firmly believes
that she would have been dead only for
these wonderful remedies.
"About the same time wrote you

was almost past going. l commenced
using Pe-ru-na according to your in
