Last September Mrs. Joe Person caT ad to see me, having heard of my condition. But. although she as sured me she thought her remedy would curs me, I did not have much faith In it, or anything else. I had tried so many things I was 'out of heart fthe persuaded trie, however, to use har Remedy, I bought half a . doaen . bottles of it. although my husband told ma it, was ' useless to buy so much, aa I might not Jive to take it I bought It alio the' tame, and to-day I can say. that I am a well, healthy woman.'
