Saved His Teeth

Richmond, Calif.

Because of Inflammation of the Liver and Gall Bladder, I suffered with severe pain in my right side, which was badly swollen. Some doctors called it "Gall Stones," while others thought that my teeth and tonsils were at the root of the trouble and were poisoning my system. I had the tonsils cut out, but even after five weeks the pain in my side had not abated. Therefore, I refused to sacrifice my teeth.

Although I continued to treat with different doctors, I was unable to work. At last a friend, Mr. M. L. Smith of Richmond, who had been relieved of Heart Trouble by FONG WAN, urged that I try him. Now, after six weeks of the Herb Treatment, I am feeling fine again and am back at work with the Standard Oil Company.
