Chronic Dianhoea of Nine
Years Standing Cured by
the Use of Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy.

For nine long years 1 suffered from
chrome dlarrhoea, which weakened me
down greatly. My weight went from 1872
pounds to 81. l got so 1 could not do
any work, but could sit up a little For
twelve months I lived on sweet milk and
bread. If 1 ate anything else it would
start the bowels to troubling me, from
four to ten times a day. My doctor said
I would never get well: I might get bet
ter but my bowels would always be nv
weak point that would cause me trouble
when L would take cold Seeing Mrs.
Persons advertisement on the South Bos-
ton bridge, wrote to her and stated NV
case. She said she did not think there
was any doubt of her Remedy curing me.
l commenced it and soon l could eat and
drink anything I wanted, except butter
milk. I took % bottles, which made a
perfect cure of me, and I gradually re-
gained my weight until l again weighed
1913 pounds. 1t has been seven years
since I was cured, and am now perfect
ly we'll. I had baby that was born with
a bowel trouble which nothing would
reach. He was born in May and in July
he had bad boil which he suffered from
for six months. I didn't know Mrs. Per-
sons Remedy could be used on so young
a baby, so I wrote to her She advised its
use. Before he had taken a bottle the
bowel trouble was cured and also the
boil, which the doctor said threatened to
be serious trouble as it was so obstinate
and lasted so long.

Gentlemen: desire to express to you
my deep appreciation of your immediate

My husband took out this policy in your

band died on Sept. 18th, of typhoid fever,
having been insured two months and elev-
en- days; and have today received check
for $4,000 in full settlement of the policy
just three days after his death. No COM
pany could be more prompt or courteous
in the settlement of claim than you have
been.
Again thanking you most heartily, and
wishing you unbounded success, 1 am very
gratefully
Yours,
MRS. FLORENCE O'NEAL.
