Dear Sir received your letter in
regard to our little ones cured by DR..

Our little girl was a very puny, del
icate babe, with very poor digestion
and so nervous we despaired of ever
raising her. She was taken with nerv-
Gus trouble. I took her to DR.. Collins
and in less than a week she was able
to play and began gaining rapidly. L
think he treated her about two weeks
at that time, which was Two years ago.
Her health has been perfect since, ex-
cept one spell Of tOnsilitis. She was so
bad she was unable to swallow water
1or "A hours DR.. Collins gave her one
treatment and cured her entirely. Since
that time my babe has not taken one
dose Of medicine, not even a dose of
Castorias and is a strong, healthy girl
of almost four years old. I was bed
and was cured in two weeks by DR..
Collins We feel like we owe our
baby's life to him. Probably my own.
Think too much can not be said in his
favor He very kindly taught US how
TO give simple home treatments that
have been very valuable to US I hone

little boy to regain health.
