J. S. LYNCH i0 1 l() j Dear Mrs. Person: A good while >o hack my health commenced failing 111 ! and I got in a low condition. I was always tired; with poor appetite, so ,0 tired always that I did not feel (0 equal to any exertion at all. I had iq enlarged glands on the neck which ,5 were very sore and when 1 would take cold they would enlarge and ~ cause mo much suffering. 1 often 1 had spoils of inflammatory rheumatism which affected the whole of my body and rendered 1110 helpless. 1 tried medical treatment, which , would give temporary relief, but it did not cure me. I tried various patent preparations, but they did i me no >od. At last a friend jierL suaded mo to use ? Mrs. Joe Persons y' _ ,k Remedy : s p I bought a half-dozen bottles, and f after taking it I felt so much better that I did not feel like taking any more. The next year in the spring I knew I needed more and again took a half-dozen. 1 took it in that way until it litis made a complete enre of me and my health is line. The enlarged glands are entirely cured, rheumatism entirely cured, v and I am now in stout, robust " health, and I advise everybody who ^ ; needs a tonic or are "run down" to uso Mrs. .Toe Person's Remedy.
