Sarnia, Ont. "About 27 years ago I
was taken very bad, my blood, too, was
in bad shape. I got so I had to go to
bed andiIwas there for over three months.
I could not eatand suffered untold agony.
I had three of the best doctors I could get
but it just seemed nothing was going to
help me. I had almost given up. I
thought I would never be any better, and
was willing to give up and die rather than
suffer as I was. A neighbor of mine told
me of Dr. Pierce's wonderful remedies
and I decided to use them. My husband.
bought me six bottles of `Favorite Pre-
scription' I had not taken it long until
I felt better: In less than six weeks I
was out of bed, and in leas than six months'
I was cured and have been well ever since.
Do all my own work. I have raised three
daughters, two are married and have
children. They have used it and they
are healthy, so are their children. I am
sure it wasall on account of my having
them use the medicine.
"I keep all of Dr. Pierce's medicines in
the house. Have 'Favorite Prescrip-
