Gentlemen: I suffered with high blood pressure and heart trouble for the past four years. This spring I became so bad that I did not think I would live until summer. I went to several doctors and they told me they could do nothing for me. My blood pressure was 202. After four weeks' treatment the pressure was down to 150, just slightly above normal. Today, after 10 weeks' herb treatment, the pressure is normal and I feel as well as I ever did in my life. I can walk and eat without feeling the slightest ill effects, something I have not been privileged to do for over four years.

I also wrote several sanatoriums, and their reply was the same as the local physicians'; probably could prolong my life by remaining in bed several months and keep on a strict diet.

Thanks to the Chinese Herbs, I did not have to go to bed, and I feel that I am entirely recovered. Yours truly,
