Now Working Again at Southern Pacific

Oakland, Calif.

For years I had high blood pressure, accompanied by pains in my chest and around my heart. One of the best Heart Specialists in San Francisco told me that I could never expect to be able to work again. He said that my intestines were already filled with water. My legs were badly swollen, and when I walked I could scarcely breathe. During the years that I suffered thus, I sought relief in vain and the future seemed to hold no hope for me until one day when I read in the newspaper the testimonials of several persons who had been relieved of heart trouble by the FONG WAN HERBS.

Despite the fact that my case was a serious one of long standing, and although I had been unable to work at all for seven months, I resolved to try the FONG WAN HERBS. I took them for only about six weeks, at the end of which time I was able to go to work again. As my case was of long standing, I did not discontinue taking the herbs as soon as I felt better, but drank them for three months altogether. I am very thankful for what the FONG WAN HERB SPECIAL- IST has done for me with his plain and harmless herbs which I cooked at home. My work is heavy for I am a repairer of freight cars -(31)for the Southern Pacific Railway Company. I am holding my job and performing my work without difficulty as I am feeling strong and fine.
