Although his life was despaired
of twenty-five years ago by some of
the country's foremost authorities
on stomach troubles, of which he had
been a sufferer for more than ten
years, Dr.. H. V. Reese today, at
seventy-four years of age, weighs
forty pounds more than he has ever
weighed, is hale and hearty and
possesses more vigor than most men
of fifty.
1t was in 1898 that DR.. Reese,
then a practicing physician of Hunt
ington, w. Va, was told there was
no hope for his recovery. His condi-
ton at that time was so critical
that it was impossible for him to re-
tain either food or drink on his
stomach, and when, after going as
long as possible without any
nourishment, he would have to wash
out his stomach before he had
hardly swallowed a second mouthful.
In fact, DR.. Reese's condition final
ly required the washing out of his
stomach two and three times daily.
In addition to stomach trouble DR..
Reese suffered from severe liver
and kidney troubles, which general
ly accompany stomach ailments.

every known agency of the medical
profession and had spent the major
