His letter carries conviction to the most

This Is his letter: "The sample bottle you
sent me had an lm mediate' good effect, so
I purchased soma of the large bottles, and
am now taking it and will continue to take
it until I am perfectly cured. I used to
urinate about 8 times a day, particularly at

and on testing my urine found It to be per
fectly normal. I therefore highly recom
