As he secured some of the most not
able Endorsements to his theory, he
does not hesitate in saying that he
will positively guarantee bloodine tc
cure stone in the bladder or any kid
hey or bladder trouble, no matter how
long you have been suffering. Ninety
seven per cent of the entire popula-
ton. of the United States are afflicted
with kidney or bladder trouble. In
the last seven years bloodine has cured
gs Der cent. of the cases that have
been treated with it.
Hundreds of cases of hemorrnagc OF
the bladder have been cured after
treatment in some OF the leading hos
pi,als have failed to even relieve the
batient. We are therefore confident
that our theory of treating these cases
with bloodine, Is the only possible man.
ner in which such large percentage
of cases can be cured, that we do not
hesitate to guarantee the efficiency of
bloodne.
MI Hanson, the business manager,
OF the Postal Telegraph and Gable Co.,
of Biddeford Maine. had a stone In
the bladder removed with six and one
half bottles Of bloodine, after being
told by all Of the leading physicians
in his vicinity that the only way it
could possibly be removed was by an
operation. We stand ready to furnish
positive proof of the above statement
to any one doubling the truth of the
same.
More than five million bottles of
blooidne were sold in America last
year. Can there be any greater evil
deace Of merit than this unparelled
sale Of a scientific product. No other
product has ever met with such
astounding sales in 80 short a period
and from a conservative estimate the
sales this year will reach ten million
