Deputy Sheriff's Statement

Richmond, Calif.

I suffered from Nervous Headache and Deafness. My health was so poor that I was unable to do anything. I had tried many doctors and had also been treated at the University Clinic. The doctors there inserted an instrument into my nose for the purpose of restoring my hearing. Its only effect was to cause me awful pain and bleeding. Then my nose became stopped up and my suffering was worse than before.

At last I saw a FONG WAN HERB TEA ADVERTISEMENT.

I went to their wonderful Herb Specialist, and now, after six weeks am entirely well in every way. This letter of recommendation is prompted by gratitude.
