Catarrh Sufferer Relieved

Mr. Guy E. Boyce San Francisco, Calif.

I have been a sufferer from Chronic Catarrh for twelve years, resultant from Measles and Scarlet Fever. During all this time I was subject to colds.

I caught cold at the least change of weather. I tried many patent medicines and consulted many physicians, one of whom operated on my nose. He removed a piece of cartilage which he claimed had been the cause of all my trouble. However, the Catarrh continued to trouble me just the same.

Being in the service of the United States Government and spending much of my time at sea, the ailment grew continually worse. Arriving in San Francisco on the Steamship West Carmona, I contracted the worst cold I had ever had, together with a sore throat. My Catarrh was also at its worst, my hearing, smell and taste being impaired. I had severe pains in my head all the time and could hardly sleep at night. My throat was raw and blood came from my nose. I began to lose weight. I tried different remedies without result. After having suffered and experimented for a month, I realized that I needed assistance. I saw in the newspaper that the FONG WAN HERBALIST had just returned from China with a fresh stock of herbs, so I decided to consult him. He told me that the Catarrh was in my blood and that I had slight irregularities of the kidneys and bladder. I immediately began drinking his tea. After seven weeks I had no more headaches or bloody discharges. The mucous discharges had greatly decreased. After four weeks more, they entirely disappeared. I began to get color in my face, to gain weight and to feel like another person. Words cannot express my appreciation of what this man has done for me. I have not had the least sign of a cold since, and it is certain- -(46)ly a relief to know that I shall not be bothered with Catarrh any more. I will gladly answer any questions regarding my case. My present address may be obtained from the office of the FONG WAN
