"JUST IMAGINE HOW I FELT."
Brunswick, Co., Va.,
November 5th, 1881.J
Mrp.Joe Pebsox,
- Franklinton, N. G.
RDxar Madam: It is with pleasure
that I -write to tell you that your valua
ble Remedy has entirely cured me of a
most fenrfal looking1 and painful sore on
xoy ankle. It came more than twelve
months ago, very much like a ringworm.
I painted.it with Tinct. Iodine, until it
became a very painful and bad looking
place. Then I commenced to try every
thing I could think or hear of, until it
became so very painful si could scarcely
walk, when I went to the best doctor in
the country for advice. He told me
he could enre me if I would take mv bed
and there remain for four or five weeks,
and if I did not do so pretty soonr it
could not be cured at all, as toe bone
would become diseased.' and my foot
would have to be taken off. Just imag
ine cow I felt, to be told tbero was no
cure for the sore but to lose my foot, or
gi?e up all business either of these Ke
medies would have ruined me. Mind
you this was the advice of one of tho best
doctors ir the State of North Carplma,
and this conversation took place last
February. I continued to burn with
canttic, as he advised until September,
but derived no benefit from his treatment,
I was advised then by a friend to try
your Kemedy. (Bitters and Wash) tooK
the first dose the 17th of September, and
I am now a well man, the sore is perfect
ly cured, and I can now walk as far,
dance as much and jump as high as any
nan you know. Put me back to the 1st
of September, let me know as much as I
now do of the virtue ot your Remedy,
and I would not hesitate to pay tea dol
lars a bottle for it, if I could not get it
for less. I think more of it than any
medicine in the world. It is not only
th best Remedy to purify the blood and
care all skin diseases, but I believe it will
cure ell kinds of blood diseases, and I
know it will cure a love for stronjr drink.
I hope you will have this published, as
there are many sufferers who could be
cored, if they could know cf and get your
Remedy I am truly and respectfully,
JOS. R. MASON,
South Gaston, N. C.
