HOTEL PROPRIETOR
GIVEN UP BY DOCTOR

''In conversation with a represent
ative of your Company today, could
not help expressing my feeling of
gratitude at the good your medicine
had done for me. For three long
years l suffered untold agony with
what they said was a severe case of
Rheumatism. After the best Doc
tors had exhausted their knowledge
in regard to my case, 1 consulted an
Osteopath and after an examination
he said the hip joint had become ir
ritated and it would take a long time
to cure it, if it could be cured at al.
| felt So discouraged over my condi-
ton, for had spent hundreds of dol
lars in the vain pursuit of ease, for
my suffering was terrible. Hearing
of the good effects that Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy had on others, l de-
cided to try it. I bought dozen
bottles, thinking that if I took it at
all, l would go at it right. And won
derful, yes it is wonderful, the cure
it made of me, as my friends can
testify. I began to improve on the
first bottle and by the time [ had
finished the course l was a well,
strong man and have had no symp-
toms of the disease since.
l would feel that I had neglected
my duty to my fellowmen if l did
not tell them of my wonderful cure
and I advise any sufferer to give
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy a trial.
