Recovers from Swollen Leg

Oakland, Calif.

My leg swelled up suddenly and became so bad that I could not pull my pants over it. The suffering was terrible. I am a contractor and was not able to handle my work, in person.

When the doctors found that they could do nothing for me, they -(119)urged me to go to a sanitarium. But instead I went to FONG WAN. Although I took the herbs for only a few weeks, I am happy to say that I have been in fine shape ever since.
