Is it possible for anyone to find relief from a persistent and agonizing cough? Well, I should say it is. Fourteen months ago I was down sick with the "Flu." It left me with such a cough and with such weakening night sweats that I could not sleep. Consequently I lost many days' work, besides the money I spent in going to doctors of all kinds, with never a bit of relief.

One day I happened to meet a friend on the street, to whom I told my troubles. He said: "Why do you not go to the FONG WAN HERB COMPANY? They will help you."

So as a last resort I went to the FONG WAN HERB CO., at 576-8 Tenth street, Oakland, and before I could tell their specialist my troubles, why, he ups and tells me what is the matter with me. Now, after several weeks of their treatments I feel like a new man and cannot speak too highly of the FONG WAN HERB CO.
