Sore Throat and Cancer of the Navel To Whom It May Concern

Oakland, Calif.

I had a very sore throat and the doctor pronounced it a case of Diphtheria. I was unable either to eat or to even drink milk or water. My throat was swollen so badly that I could not turn my head. As FONG WAN, the Herbalist, had rid my sister of a long standing cough which the doctors had called consumption, and as he had also restored my cousin, Gomes Souza, who suffered with dropsy, to perfect health, I decided to try him for my throat. His herb treatment worked marvels. Within two hours after taking it, all the pain in my throat was gone and the swelling had also subsided. That was a year ago.

Recently I suffered from Cancer of the Navel and the pain became so severe that I was confined to my bed for three weeks. Again I had recourse to FONG WAN, and I am happy to say that the cancer has now entirely disappeared and I am well and strong.
