Mabttne & Co. In answer to your note
requesting an unbiased and true opinion
Of the Life Essence, I can say, that bo
lore prescribing it x was so iavorabiy im
pressed with the formula that I concluded
to give it a fair trial on myself. Ihad been
suffering from ulcers of the prostrate, of
course with loss of the use of the organ.
My strength was greatly reduced, both
from pain and the constant drain. My
nervous system was in a deplorable state.
I took 1-32 of a grain of strychnine three
times a day, but without favorable result.
I then commenced the Life Essence sent
me, and have grown strong and firm in my
nerve force. But now I find that when
from night work and the labor of the day
combined, my nervous system gets into an
irritable state, resulting in sleeplessness
and irritability; if I take a teaspoonf ul on
retiring, it procures me a peaceful, dream
less sleep, and I wake refreshed in the
morning. I am so well satisfied that I
shall prescribe it to my exhusted patients.
I would not use patent medicines under
any circumstances, but since you gave me
the formula, I class it among my other
standard preparations:
Very respectfully. I. D. M., M. D.
