To Mrs. Joe Person:
My little boy was sorely troubled witt
impurities of the blood, and the result
was boils and sores on his body to sucb
an extent that he could not rest while
lying on his back or side, but for three
weeks he had to lie with his face down
and turn his head from side to side to
rest it. After consulting prominent
physician he told me to try your Remedy
which l did. After using it short time
he was completely cured, and his general
health restored.
At the same time that my little DO,
was afflicted with these sores and boils
his bowels were in very bad condition
and this medicine effected a conn., lete
cure of them.
I recommend said medicine as a Greal
Remedy, and would not be without it II
