Weakened by Influenza

Stockton, Calif.

About three years ago, I was left very weak after having suffered from Spanish Influenza and I contracted a cough, which settled on my lungs. This cough persisted and kept gradually getting worse. I tried every remedy recommended to me, but nothing seemed to relieve me. A year ago I had so severe an attack of coughing that I was compelled to quit work. I had just about believed a relief impossible when friends and relatives urged me to go to FONG WAN, the Herb Specialist. I went.

Fong Wan diagnosed my case correctly. noticed an improvement after the first cup of herb tea, and after three or four weeks I felt like a new person.

I Today, thanks to Fong Wan and his herbs, I can boast of a good pair of lungs and a good heart.
