A Physician Cures His
Wife OF Consumption

Gentlemen:-
my wife was down with Consumption,
when ordered a bottle ofAicsol Lloyd.
She was very weak from night sweats,
cough, and in feverish condition. 1
noticed change for the better after ten
days treatment, and from that time on
up to three months, when the cure was
completed. AicsoI Lloyd kills the
Tubercle BaciIlusin the blood and tissue,
and it is the only remedy so far dis
covered that will do this. It is a pre-
tentative as well as cure. 10 should
be used by those who are run down, or
those who fear the approach of Con-
sumption. 1t can be truthfully said that
Aicsol Lloyd, for the cure and pre-
vention of Consumption, is the most
wonderful compound ofthe presentage."
