WOMAN CURED AFTER 25 YEARS' SUFFERING BY POO ON CHINESE HERBS.
FIVE IN ONE FAMILY RESTORED TO HEALTH.

THE HONG KONG DAILY. PRESS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5th, 1929.
My boy Edward, aged 17, was troubled with a pain in his side which caused collapse when he did hard work. We had to see that he was exempted from High School exercises because the pain caused him to drop out. The doctor said that he had appendicitis and that it would be necessary to operate if he expected to be well again. We' decided to try Poo On Chinese Herbs and, after a few treatments the boy became well and is now able to do all kinds of hard work without any more pain.

Mrs. F. Meinhart, who resided at Cal, 15, H. Street, Modesto U.S.A. Bays: For 25 long years I suffered with severe pains in my left side that at times confined me to bed for days. I was unable to do my work or move abous. Along with these come dropsy and stomach trouble. I was unable to eat. very much without causing gas, pain and distress. Words cannot express my sufering during these years. My husband spent thousands of dollars seeking relief for me. I have been to scores of doctors,

We left our home at Kansas and travelled to Alabama, Oregon and consulted California End there many specialists of these States, but without avail. I have never gotten any better during these years of travelling and doctoring, but became worse and more dis couraged as everything failed. Thinking a dry climate. would help, we decided to try San Joaquin Valley and came to Modesto to re- side. It was here after a time that I heard of the great benefit of the Poo On Chinese Herbs and the great cares accredited to them. At first I was sceptical and doubtful and thought that they were another But I decided to go, thinking in my distress, taas there was a possible chance left. At the time I went I weighed 195 pounds and to-day I weigh 175 pounds. Isentative of the newspaper, Mr. F. must say that the result of taking Meinhart, Sr., was present and Poo On Chinese Herbs must have been miraculous to me. After tak- ing the Herbs I was first entirely stomach cured of dropsy trouble and, after more treatment, the pain in my side left and has neyer returned. I have never felt better all my life than I do to-day and I own nothing but thanks and gratitude towards Poo On Chinese Herbs and Yee Foo Lan, the Het- balist.
