"I had suffered.' for three years with terrible pains at the time of •
menstruation, and did not knotwwhat the trouble was until the doctor
pronounced it inflammation of the ovaries, and proposed an operation.

in such an emergency, and so I decided to try it. Great was my boy to
find that T actually improved after taking two bottles, so I kept taking
it for ten weeks, and at the end of that time I was cured. I had gained
