Lesion of the Lungs

Alameda, Calif.

About three years ago, I contracted a heavy cold followed by Pneumonia which left me with weak lungs. The least little draft would cause severe coughing, sore chest, and great suffering. Frequently the coughing was accompanied with blood. I sought continuously for relief from medical doctors. They examined my sputum and said that I had Lesion of the Lungs. My condition did not respond to their medicines. I lost weight and became so sick and weak that I could not walk.

Fortunately, I was advised to try Fong Wan. I found that the herbs helped me in the first few weeks. I knew that I was so ill that I could not recover very fast. I therefore kept on using the herbs for about a year.

My lungs are now entirely well. I have gained twenty-five pounds in weight, and am feeling fine in every respect. I am writing this for the benefit of others who may despair of regaining their health.
