Heeded Mother's Advice

Oakland, Calif.

For more than a year I suffered with Hemorrhage from a Tumor. During this period I was treated by several physicians, all of whom agreed that an operation was the only thing that could help me. However, neither my husband nor I liked the idea of the knife. My mother stepped in with good advice. She had undergone an operation on her right side, and the wound, which had formed a fistula, had never healed. After fourteen years of suffering, she had gained complete relief by taking the Fong Wan Herbs and the fistula had healed. Upon her advice I decided to omit the operation and drink the Fong Wan Herbs.

Owing to my terrible condition and my extremely poor health, it took about six months before I was entirely well. I am now enjoying splendid health and my old troubles have been completely vanquished.
