For everyone who writes and testifies to the benefitreceived from Hall's Wine, the Great British Tonic for Health and Strength, there must be hun. dreds who do not take the trouble. But, judging from our files alone, its growth during nearly thirty years in the favour of doctors, nurses → and patients is phenomenal. A doctor writes: "For mental and physical exhaustion, I know nothing better than Hall's Wine, I take it myself when run down." A patient writes: "Hall's Wine has made me feel much stronger, in fact, I feel twice as well since I have been taking it."
