Tell Known Minister of the Gospel
Giv?s Ringing Praise to Wonderful
Medical Mineral
Discovery.
Rev. J. S. Botts, the well-known
nd loved minister of Honea Path, S.
!., says "he thinks it due to suffertig
humanity to tell them of his
ase."
"I have suffered more than twenty
ears with Stomach trouble, Liver
nd Kidney trouble and general deility
and I have found what everyody
has been looking for, in the
ronderful natural remedy Sulferroiol."
"Of course I have spent a great]
nany dollars trying to get health!
nd strength but when I tried Sul-j
erro-Sol, I knew I had come at last j
o the most wonderful remedyjof all." i
"I have invested five dollars in j
ulferro-Sol, and I am now stronger!
nd in better health than I have been
n many years."
"I have deep faith in Sulferro-Sol
iecause it comes direct from Nature
,nd I have found to my own grateful
atisfaction what it will do for suferers."
"I endorse and recommend this renarkable
remedy to all who suffer
nd would be well and strong again."
Note?Sulferro-Sol has attracted
iniversal notice because of its almost
uiraculous healing and building
lowers. Many other mineral soluions
have been of late offered to the
?ublic, claiming to be similar to Suierro-Sol.
Sulferro-Sol is not an argument,
it is a fact. Ask any Drug-j
;ist, he knows.
