Neuritis and Rheumatism

Oakland, Calif.

I suffered from Neuritis (inflammation of the nerves) in the back of my head, the pain extending upward from the spine. The pain was so great that I almost lost consciousness. I was unable to work for months. I also had rheumatism in my joints for years. Having tried many doctors and treatments without results, I did not know what to do. My friend, Mr. Wetting, the shoe merchant on Seventh street, Oakland, who had been relieved of stomach trouble and constipation by drinking the FONG WAN HERB TEA, urged me to try it. Now, after having taken the treatment for three weeks I am perfectly well, far better than I have been for years.
