Two doctors said she was in the first stages of consump tion. She was so weak she could not go out by herself. A friend induced me to try AVHPS S«rs#aria In less than two weeks our daughter could Bleep well at night. Her mother and I would go into her room at all hours of the night, it seemed so good not to hear that awful hollow cough.
