Gentlemen:
Some time ago I was attack
ed with a serious spell of Ty
phoid fever, which left me in a
very weak condition and effect
ed my limbs. We decided it
had resulted in white swelling.
Every remedy we could think
of was used, but to no effect.
My suffering was great and I
had to go on crutches. At last
we were induced to try Mrs.
Joe Person's Remedy, after suf
fering for two years, and the
result was marvelous. After
taking eight bottles I was en
tirely cufedf and have never
had a symptom of trouble since.
My faith in Mrs. Joe Person's
Remedy is great and I would
advise all sufferers to give it a
trial and be convinced as I have.
