To Mrs. Joe Person:
My little boy was sorely troubled
with impurics of the blood, and the
result was boils and sores on his body
to such an extent that he oould not
rest while lying on bis back or side,
but for three weeks be had to lie
with his face down, ind turn his
bead from side to side to rest it.
After consulting a prominent physi
cian be told me to try
Mrs. Joe Person's
Remedy : : : :
which I did. After using it I short
time he was completely cured, and
his general health restored.
At the same lime lhat my little
boy wai afflicted with these sons
and boils, his bowels were in I very
bad condition, ind this medicine ef
fected loouiplute cure of them.
I recommend said medicine as a
Great Remedy, and would nut be
without it iu my home
