years and the misery in my back was
so terrible L thought at times it would
surely break in two. My legs and
knees would draw up until my mus
cles felt like they were tied in knots
and ached so bad L could hardly bear
to have anything touch them. 1 was
so badly constipated that 1 had to take
something for this condition every two
or three days, and my troubles weighed
on me so and pulled me down till they
nearly put me out of business. l lost
weight and felt so tired and worn out
all the time that it was all L could do
to drag myself off to my work

hear of, but got no better and had be-
gun to think there was no help for
me at all. 1 was in Snyder, Okla

Everybody there was backing it, and
the results they were getting there
were so remarkable that 1 bought
some myself to try. Why, 1 person
