Saved My Life

Oakland, Calif.

I suffered from Dropsy in the trunk of my body and in my limbs, which were so badly swollen that I could neither eat, drink, sleep, nor breathe with comfort. I had pains all over and had been in bed for months. Five different doctors gave me up and said that I could live only a few days. My entire family was in despair and they decided to try the FONG WAN CHINESE HERB TEA, which made me entirely well in three weeks. I am now working every day in the Union Iron Works. I am so thankful to the FONG WAN HERB SPEC- IALIST that I shall be glad to make it known that my life has been saved through his wonderful skill.
