Pain in Left Side

Oakland, Calif.

For more than a year I had a pain in my left side which ran back to the kidneys. I could not lie on that side at night. After I had sought relief in vain, a lady friend took me to consult FONG WAN. I took his herbs for only eight days and the pain was gone. The relief was so great that I felt like a new woman. This freedom from suffering came over a month ago, and I have had no sign of my former complaint since.
