He got ao bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and became so weak that he ooulri scarcely stand. I carefuly followed the direc tions on the bottles and shortly after gett ing the last bottle he passed bots, and at once began to mend, and in a few days was fit for hia work. lam confident only for the remedy he would have died.
