Four Persons Knocked Out

One of the greatest mistakes made by people with heart trouble is to apply electricity to themselves. These electrical treatments are too severe for the heart and cause the blood to rise to the head. This frequently brings on strokes of paralysis. During one week four reports were turned in by different parties to the FONG WAN HERB CO. All of these people had previously taken the Fong Wan Herbs for weak hearts and had experienced wonderful results, not only in the strengthening of the heart, but also in being free from coughs and asthma. Out of curiosity, these people had all used a certain electrical appliance. They had endured the treatment for periods varying from 5 days to 4 weeks. However, in the end all were knocked out and made very ill.
