was very bad. No matter what she
ate she complained of her stomach
hurting and I have seen her suffer
for hours when the pain was so
severe she could hardly bear it. She
complained of pains in the side and
back. kidneys acted irregular, very
painful and due to chronic consti-
patton even strong laxatives would
not act for days at time. she was
underweight and looked so bad l
worried about her until l was al
most sick myself. She tried every
thing we heard of but Miller's Herb

any real improvement and I only
wish we had tried it sooner. She
