Dr. S. NJ Bartlett,
Dear Doctor: For two years up to
April 1. 1913. my health had been in
q state OF decline, 1 suffered with pains
all over my body, my appetite was
very poor and 1 lost weight until at
that time 1 only weighted 1875, the
pains in my back were eXcruciating
and at times 1 had pains in my sides
and abdomen that were almost un-
bearable, / suffered with periodic at
tacks Of headache, was very nervous
due to loss Of sleep and could scarcely
drag about the house.
During this period / was attended by
four different doctors but was unable
10 get any relief On the 18th day of
April, 1913, 1 had a severe fall which
confined me 10 my bed at which time
the doctor in charge of my case told
me that my only hope of recovery
was an operation, this I dreaded to
consent 10 and at last through the
advice OF a friend Of mine. Mrs q.
DOust Of this city. who had treated
with you, 1 decided 10 call you to my
home.
At that time / had not been out of
bed for five weeks and had little
faith that you would be able to help
me. however, after you had examined
me thoroughly you stated that in your
opinion I could be cured without ar
operation and / decided to give you g
trial. / shall never regret this deci-
sion as you have been able to make
all OF your promises good TO me.
Today l weigh lao pounds. am doinl
all OF my own housework and am feel
ing just fine.
/ am grateful for all you have done
for me and never miss an opportun-
ity to tell my friends that l owe my
present state Of health TO your efforts
in my behalf / have lived in South
Bend for 35 years and am acquainted
with many people to all Of whom
can cheerfully recommend your ser
vices.
Very truly yours
MRS. NELLIE GRAY.
