I have’ tried everything in the ‘ shajie of •• patent .medicines. I have been an outdoor patient in the Hospi tal ; I got at times temporary relief. I could not sleep on my left side; I kept rolling about backwards and forwards in' bed. When I got up in the, morning, I would rather be in bed but' work I had to attend to. ■ When I had eaten a light meal I found it always lodged in my stomach. Always costive, a great palpi tation, pains across the chest, more .particu larly under .the left breast,' always.a violent pain between the shoulders, felt just the same as if any one: was pouring water down my back, feet always cold. Happened to get one of your bills when you came to St. Asaph street, which explained to me the symptoms I was laboring under., When I applied to you, you told me all my symptoms, and guaranteed me a perfect cure, which, I am happy to say, you have done through your herbal treatment.
