Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy
has brought health and happiness to
many who thought themselves be-
yond aid.
Diabetes is peculiar and battling
disease which the medical profession
seems to be unable to accurately de-
scribe and definitely cure despite the
many years of experimenting and re-
search by foremost physicians
throughout the world.
Diabetes is invariably the result of
impaired nutrition-this results in an
excess of sugar in the blood and
failure of the food to nourish, hence
a gradual wasting away while eating
well.
Symptoms Of the disease are, in
creased thirst, excess of urine, ema-
citation and dry skin, often with
sweetish odor.
Following are few voluntary
words of praise from a man who has
used Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy
with gratifying results. Perhaps you
may be benefited in like manner.
