EVERY RAILROAD MAN

Peterson Bros, Dear Sirs: was afflicted with what the doctors said were Varicose Ulcers. and up until about five weeks ago I have been treating them for about a year and five nnonths.
 With all the treatments that were prescribed to me by several doctors I received little benefit, and they kept spreading and gave me much distress and caused me to quit my work.
 I was induced by a brother brake man to try Peterson's Ointment, and after I had used two boxes l saw the wonderful results. You can tell suf- fering ones troubled with ugly, pain full and horrid ulcers that your Oint- ment IS cure for them when every thing else fails, as I have tried about everything.
 Thanking you many times over, I am, your happy friend, Chas. J. Hey ser, Battle Creek, Mich, 42 GlenWood Ave, Jan 12, 1916.
