Cross Eyes Due to Blood Poisoning

Oakland, Calif.

For about eight months I was confined to the house and part of the time to my bed with an exceedingly strange malady. My face and the upper parts of my body were fearfully swollen, my eyes being partially closed. Whenever I went out into the air, my face and hands burned as though they were on fire. My skin itched so that I wanted to scratch and tear at myself continually. Also I had Cross Eyes because of Blood Poisoning. I treated with several physicians, who termed my trouble Blood -(101)- Poisoning. None seemed to understand the case, and some were even frank enough to say that death alone could give me relief. Six weeks ago I read of the renowned FONG WAN HERB SPECIALIST. I immediately sent to him and began to drink the herb tea. I cooked my own herbs at home. Now all the inflammation and swelling are gone. Everything is normal again and I am in perfect condition.
