A Case of Rheumatic Paralysis in Oakland

Oakland, Calif.

I suffered terribly from a sort of Rheumatic Paralysis. Before I had the stroke I was a worker in the Moore Shipyards and I weighed 180 pounds. Suddenly one night in February, 1918, I waked up paralyzed. I was unable to move in bed, even a few inches. Three prominent physicians attended me, but all expressed the opinion that I could not live. My knees, elbows and wrists were all swollen to three times their normal size, while my legs were shrunken to the bone, the skin hanging loose upon them.

I was confined to my bed for eleven months, and my pain was so great that my weight was reduced to 100 pounds. All my friends had given up hope for me, and when I suggested trying the FONG WAN HERBS, they felt sure it would be useless. My wife, however, went for the herbalist. Within a short time after I began to take his herbs I could get out of bed. In fact, at the end of three weeks. I was able to go to his office. I am now as strong as I was before my stroke. My weight is 185 pounds and I have been absolutely well ever since. -(84)- This letter is an expression of gratitude. I shall be glad to answer the questions of anyone who wishes to know more about my case.
