THIS 18 MY OPINION, SUMMED
CP. OF I8. JOE PEIISON'8
KEMEDV.
It Is the Bent McdlcUic Compounded
In Tills World.
or rnore than two years I was a
severe sufferer from cnionlc dyscn
tery, brought on by acute Indigestion.
Almost dally I had to take something
for- relief. It also brought on a ca
tafohai headache, from which I suf
fered dally, and which debilitated me
to such an extent i wouui nave iu in
down three or tour nour eacn aay,
an if mado the flesh of my face ex
tremely sore and sennit I ve to the
touch. My general health waa greatly
impaired, of course, ana , was. wean
and nervoUB . One day t was at my
nn. home, and after dinner I was
taken, as usual with one of those
terrlfflc catarrhal headaches. My
daughter-in-law had been giving Mrs.
Joe Person's to her Itttle boy for ec
sema, and It had cured him. She
suggested that I try !t as a bottle
was then on the mantel. I did to,
and the very first dose I took relieved
that headache. I continued it that
night and the next morning, and even,
on the second day afber I commenced
It, I did not have to He down at all,
for the first time In several weeks. ,
" I then bought a docen bottles, and
toolt ; nineteen bottles before I stop
ped.; ' My condition was . brought on
by malarial fever, which I had con
tracted In Texas fifteen years ago,
and from the effects of which I have
been suffering ever since.
, Any one, to see me now and be
fore I commenced taking Mrs. ' Joe
Person's Remedy, would hardly know
me ' for the same person; ; For- the
first time in fifteen years I AM WELL
and my heaitn nas Bean.-,, restored.
This. la my opinion, summed t up, of
