WOMAN CURED AFTER 25 YEARS SUFFERING

BY POO ON CHINESE HERBS. FIVE IN ONE FAMILY RESTORED TO HEALTH.

Mrs. F. Meinhart, who resided at 15, H. Street, Modesto Cal, U.S.A says:For long years I suffered with severe pains in my left aide that at times confined he to bed for days. I was unable to do my work or move about. Along with these came dropsy and stomach trouble. I was unable to eat very much without causing gas, pain and distress. Words cannot express my suffering during these years. My husband spent thousands of dollars seeking relief for me. I have lieen to scores of doctors, many of whom were rated specialists of high standing, but

WAL

My boy Edward, aged 17, troubled with, a pain in his aide which canned 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 docte said that he had appendicitis anu 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.

Another of my boys, Fred, aged 21, had suffered many years with

catarrh and became worse as time

went on. He tried many treat ments and remedies without result but we can say that after taking some Poo On Chinese Herbs he was completely cured and has been troubled since.

My daughter Blanch, a few years ago, fell and hurt her side" very severely and since that time the was troubled with pain in her side and was unable to find anyone or anything that would help her. The poor girl suffered so much that she had to quit work. A few treat- ments with the Poo On Chinese Herbs and the girl has been feeling normal ever since.
