About two years ago I was taken with an Incessant aching and burning of the stomach, which produced in flammation. Nothing would stay on my stomach, neither food, milk or even water. I would vomit every thing almost as soon as I would swallow it. Finally I became to weakened I had to take to my bed, and would often have violent at tacks of ccllc. Three doctors treated me and pronounced my trouble' in digestion. Their treatment did me no good whatever. Everything I swallowed disagreed with me, and I could not retain a thing I ate. Finally a friend bagged me to try Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy and I was willing to .try anything. On tba third dose I knew It agreed with me and was doing me good. In a week's time I could retain light diet, like crackers, milk and rice. At that time I had been confined to my bed eeven weeks so weak I was not able to sit up at all. In a month's time 1 could eat anything I wanted ham,! cab bage, potatoes anything. Of course a my general health was built up and I could" eat, I got strong, and when I had taken six bottles I was WELI ad have? never had a touch of indigestion since. Mrs. Person's Remedy will cure nervousness when .nothing else win. I wish I could write as strong as. I feel about it, but I cannot say enough In Its praise, for the good it has dona for me. J . MRS.
