''The Spring Of 1908, had a severe

medicine that my friends and doctors
recommended to me, but no results came
for the better. l had night sweats, and
would cough and spit up every night
until l got so weak could hardly do any
thing. But at last, james Deering, OF
Glasgow Junction, insisted that l try your
medicine, which l ordered at once and
began taking the scme. In one weeks
time there was quite an improvement In
my condition, and after l had taken sew
life. l n7ver wrote any firm or company
q letter recommending their medicine be-
fore, as there are so many fakes that a
medicine of genuine quality don't get
