You Saved My Boy's Life

Oakland, Calif.

My boy, Manuel Pereira, was in the first stages of Consumption. He vomited everything he ate. The teacher excluded him from school. None of the doctors could help him and both they and the nurses advised that I send him to the County Hospital. Instead, I took him to the Specialist at the FONG WAN CHINESE HERB CO., who has completely relieved him. My heart is full of gratitude and I want to testify as to the great value of the herbs.
