Labors Long Hours

Oakland, Calif.

After years of most acute suffering from which no doctor was able to give me relief, I finally gave up hope and quit taking anything. I was suffering from a so-called incurable Blood Disease and Rupia, and my throat became so sore that I could not even swallow water without great pain. Not being able to either sleep or eat, I was almost wild. In despair, I went to the FONG WAN HERB CO. and drank their Herb Tea. I continued to drink it until my whole system was purified. When I began to recover my health, four of my friends with similar complaints also took the tea and were made well. I am now back at work and strong enough to labor long hours in the Moore & Scott Shipyards.
