Rheumatism Cured

DR.. M. G. Macy, Dear Sir: I
take pleasure in telling you that
the three months of reatment
for lumbago, rheumatism and
kidney troubles which I took of
you last spring have done for me
all that you claimed they would
do. Also, that the glasses you
fitted me out with are giving full
satisfaction. My general health
has improved and / have not
been so well in many years.
No one can doubt the efficiency
of your treatment more than I
did before I tried it, as I had
tried other "drugless treatments"
without getting any help what
ever, and had formed a very low
estimate OF all classes of drug
less treatment.
Yours very truly,
IT. G. GEST.
