Fifteen Years of Epileptic Fits

Oakland, Calif.

I suffered from Epileptic Fits with nervous attacks every day for fifteen years. I was afraid to go anywhere alone. Many times I bit my tongue and once my chin was cut clear open while I was shaving myself when the attack came on. I doctored with many dozens of doctors and was treated at hospitals, but found no relief. Many prominent physicians told my brother not to have me treated further, as my trouble was incurable, and it was of no use to spend any more money on me. My case was thus given up as hopeless and incurable. until my elder brother found relief from blood disease by taking the FONG WAN HERB TREATMENT and was informed that this treatment had brought about permanent relief in many cases of Epileptic Fits. So I took his herbs for a few weeks. For months now, I have not had any of my former ailments.

I am working with my brother in our tailoring store on Telegraph avenue. I can go anywhere now. I shall be glad to furnish further details of the wonderful work done by FONG WAN.
