Some wears ago while at work. l fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of NV shins. MY blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me |
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this disoouraging
report left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. 5. ). Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and l am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke ont again. Some IL
years have elapsed since what l have de
scribed occurred. Having been so signally
