Person Remedy Company,
Charlotte, N. C.
Gentlemen:
Some time ago I was attacked with
a serious spell of Typhoid Fever, which
left, me in a very weak condition and
effected my limbs. We decided it had
resulted in white swelling. Every Vem
edy 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 suffering for two years,
and the result was marvelous. After
taking eight bottles 1 was entirely cur-,
ed, and have never had a symptom oC
trouble since. My . faith -in Mrs. Joe
Person's Remedy Ms great and I would
advise all sufferers to give it a trial
and be convinced as I have.
(Signed.) - Mrs. R. W, Grines.
