Until February, 1W.J, I was a physi < *.11 wreck and had been for over twen- j ty years. No one can ever know what I suffered from rheumatism and neural- 1 ^ia in different parts of my body, but J principally in mv head. I suffered so . much with pains in my hnek that often i 1 would have to lie with bottles of but water to my back to reive me what lit i tie relief it would. I suffered with in digestion fur years, which fgavu me ! often such choking sjsdls that ttie doc- j tor would have to be summoned in I luiste. 1 could not eat a mouthful of j meat or solid food of any kind, and the j iiiikiii >?i k"-1 11*1111 my sioaiacn was distressing. My system was complete- j ly run down. 1 had no strength and was distressingly nervous. Sometimes j 1 would he unconscious from these nervous S|mi11h and would have to have hot I baths applied for relief. When I had j been in this condition for over twenty i years, Mrs. .lis* Person visited our town ! in in February. 1SD2. and persuaded ine | to try a half dozen bottles of her Rem- | edy, as she told me she had never known [ it to fail to restore a broken down sys- j teni. I knew I would have to try some thing and thought it might as well be her remedy as anything, but I had no faith in anything curing me. I bought ? half a dozen bottles ami when I was on the second I began to feel better, and by the time I took the six bottles I WAS WELL. Indigestion was perfectly cured and I can now eat anything I want and it agrees with mo. It cured me entirely of neuralgia and I have never had it since. It cured me of hemor- j rhoids from which I snfferd agony-rheumatism, backache, headache, nervousness, all cured. When I see any one suffering from any thing I ask why they i don't take the Remedy, that half a dozen bottle would cure them. I would not take hutidrcdsof do lavs for for what it did for me. It restored me to health and now I enjoy life. Mrs. S. K. Bonner. Edonton, N. C , May ID. 1HD7. I ?G?00??S@???C 1 Special 1 jj| A lot of ladies' ? and os, at cost. Hoys' Overcoat ? years, at cost.
