Well 11 Years

San Francisco, Calif.

When I first met FONG WAN at Eighth and Clay streets, Oakland, eleven years ago, I was suffering from Kidney Trouble and Rheumatism. The pain in my back extended to my legs and knees and was so severe that it was difficult to move around. I had previously gone to several Kidney Specialists, who had pronounced my trouble Bright's Disease, but had not been able to do me any good. Then I took the FONG WAN HERB TREATMENT, and I have felt fine during all these years.

Being a traveling man, I have to ride day after day all over the State. This is naturally very hard on my kidneys. As a matter of precaution, every spring I take one or two weeks of the FONG WAN HERB TREATMENT and thus keep my kidneys in good shape. I have known Fong Wan so long that he has become my friend as well as my healer. I have recommended a number of my acquaintances to take the FONG WAN HERBS, and without exception they have obtained satisfactory results. -(76)-
