Her Trouble

Oakland, Calif.

For many months I suffered intensely from a pain in my right side, and I finally became so ill and weak that for two months I was confined to my bed. All the doctors that I had, claimed that mine was an organic trouble, of which no medicine could reach the seat. They were unanimous in saying that my sole hope of recovery was through an operation.

My friend, Mrs. Richardson, suggested that I go to FONG WAN; but I was in such agony that I could not go, so my husband went and told FONG WAN about my case. After three weeks of the herb treatment, I was able to go to the FONG WAN office myself, and now that I have taken the herbs for about two months, my pain is all gone and I feel like a new woman.
