Knowing of the wonderful results which had followed the taking of VUadatio I resolved to go in for & course of it, and after drinking about 12 LARGE BOTTLES of the MEDI CINP 1, I rejoice to be able to say thab lam now WELL AND STRONG again, and en joy the beat of health. 1 feel that I cannot but let young men who struggle through the weary days of their office work, feeling so weak and ill that life has very few pleasures for them, know what your medicine haß done for me.
