About five years ago I was stricken with a terrible disease, which baffled the attending physicians. A Blood Specialist was therefore called and I was given a thorough examination, including Wasserman Tests, Blood Counts, and X-Rays. My case was finally diagnosed as Lymphatic Leukemia, and I was told that the disease was rare and considered incurable. In fact, the few cases of which my doctors had known had proved fatal. The Specialist frankly admitted that all he could do was to experiment. -(96)- After several months of said experimenting, my condition was in no wise improved, for neither the number of white corpuscles in my blood nor my lymphatic glands had been reduced. Furthermore, I had been so weakened by continual fever that I was well nigh helpless. It was then that my folks suggested that I consult a Herbalist, so I went to the FONG WAN HERB CO. Without even asking me a question, their Herbalist told me that I was suffering from Leukemia, and that he could relieve me. After I had taken his herbs for but one week I was able to go back to work. Since that time I have had two blood tests taken, as various physicians entertained doubt regarding my complete recovery. On both occasions my blood was pronounced normal. The last test was taken but a few months ago. My present good health seems miraculous. As many of my friends have also obtained relief from various ailments through the FONG WAN HERB CO., I can highly recommend their herb treatment.
