Laporte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: We are
very thankful to you, for most every
week there is something needful and
useful which we learn of in the Club
Notes. We have two sons, 10 and 20
years, and they have never had a dose
of medicine from a doctor yet, but
they have often taken the Home Health
club prescriptions as l give them, and
what suffering and money it has saved
us. the Lord only knows, and what !
have been ablesto pass along to others
has often been a blessing. The follow
ing home remedies l have found OF
great value to myself and friends. SIM

received another letter telling about
the same benefits derived from tes
