His face was bloated,puffed and watery looking (dropsical) his complexion be¬ ing very pale and yellow. He bad no regular appetite and was too weak to work, not having worked six months, all told, in two years. I had tried 6 or 7 doctors and spent $300 to cure him,but all failed. I had offered one doctor $150 to cure him, but he re¬ fused to take the case. I had heard so much about your Nunbetter Tonic Pills I got 5 bottles (for $1) and gave them to him. He is now entirely well and has worked for 3 months in the field steadily,and I consider him finally cured. Your pills are a paying in¬ vestment for sick and puny people. Yours resp., W H Cooper.
