you that a year ago 1 suffered untold agonies on ao ,
cmnt of piles (blind) and weut to Portland to get re-,
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple of Rose
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. I did so and had
one dozen bottles sent to ine by A. E. Chamrague.
I used one-half dozen bottle, taking right before ev
ery meal, one small glass full. I not only .was re-.,
lleved, but 1 am certainly cured by what I used. and.
thankful for it, because. I suffeted more than I can.
express. I would advise any one suffering from this
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should yon
have any occasion to use tms statement ao so. iou
are at liberty on my account. I think this is the

ave for many years beett a sufferer from dyspepsia

experience from the use of your mineral water. Ta-
ke:i according to directions it proaucea iiumeaai
relief and in a short time, if ontinued, would secure
permanent cure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove of valuehfa k
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator l louua
