ARE YOU RUN DOWN?
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.
