R'os-Nearly two years ago I contract
ed mataria into my system, and suffer
ed greatly from time to time from it in
various forms In which it developed.
Sometimes had severe chills and fevers
-indigestions followed it, and I was
generally out of health. Last spring
[or more than two montths I was great
ly troubled with a disordered condi
tion of the bowels which I believe was
tle result of the malaria still existing
in my system. I visited two or three
inineral springs celebraued for the cure
,f uaarial diseases, without the slight
est benefit. I was also treated as the
lifferent systems developed by the
inost skillful physicians, bit was not
relieved. About two months ago I
concluded to try Calisaya Tonic, pre
pared by Westmoreland Bros., but I
inust confess I had little confidence of
being materially benefitted by it. I
bave taken five or six bottles of the
renic-from the bkeginning I felt re
[let and conthuted to improve until
niow, I feel quite as well and in as per
Feet health as I evet did in my life
%nd believe I am perfectly well.
