GALLSTONES

Greenville, S. G.
Shivar Springs Water cured my
mother or gallstones or, I might say,
it snatcher her from the hospital door,
as the doctors had said nothing short
of an operation would do her any good.
After drinking the Water she was able
to get out Of bed, and is today stout
and healthy. I hope these few lines
will be of help to some one suffering as
my mother did, w. J. STRAWN.
Williamson, NJ c., Oct. 3, 1914.
My doctor said / would have to be
operated on for gallstones, but since I
have been drinking your water 1

Columbia, S. c..
My wife was a chronic sufferer from
gallstOnes. She was stricken critically
ill., and nothing but morphine seemed
to relieve her pain by rendering her
UNCONSCIOUS. My physician, who is a
good one, seemed to do very little
good. Rev. A j. Foster pastor of
Shandon Baptist Church of Columbia,
S. c.. advised me to take her imme-
diately to Shivar Spring. On consult
ing my physician he agreed that it
would be best to do so without delay.
In about three days after arriving at
the Spring she was apparently relieved
and had gained her appetite. She has
suffered no i'll effect of the trouble
since. Please publish this for the
benefit of sufferers.

Upon advice however, the first night I

milder one. Since then I have taken
none at all. The effect of the water
has been remarkable-its action on my

I wish to add my testimony to the
wonderful curative powers of the Shi-
var Mineral Water. For a number of
years my wife has been a sufferer from
indigestion and nervous debility. and
her condition had reached such a stage
as to battle the skill of our most emil
nent physicians Her extreme nervous
ness and heart troubles at times were
alarming and she had become almost a
nervous wreck. The latter part of last
May she began using the Shivar Water,
which she has continued to this date
with most satisfactory results.
