Wan Herb Treatments

Eureka, Calif.

For over a year I had a sore chest and terrible cough day and night. It seemed that my head would burst every time I coughed. Numerous remedies failed to relieve me. I had been in the hospital twice but believed it of no use to go there again because I had gotten no benefit. During a few weeks of severe cold weather my cough nearly killed me. Fortunately a friend of mine who lives in Richmond, Contra Costa County, and who knew that the FONG WAN -(45)- HERB SPECIALIST in Oakland had relieved many and varied ailments, came up to Eureka. He took me down to Oakland to him. Now, after being treated for only five weeks, my cough is entirely gone and my chest is well. I also sleep better. So wonderful a Specialist as FONG WAN deserves great credit. He has been a great blessing both to me and to sufferers in Oakland.
