One day in! picking up a paper one of your handbills was in it of a lady who had been cured of gall stones, the symptoms of the patient being similar to my own. I thought I would try it. A bottle was brought to me. It acted like a charm, and in a few days I was out of bed, free from pain. I took three largi bottles, and can honestly say I am cured through this wonderfnl medicine. I cannot find words to express my gratitude to you for the good your medicine has done for me.
