HAD BAD LEG — -— “1 was afflicted with a very severe sore on my leg for years. I am a teamster. I tried all medicines an I salves, but without success. I tried doctors, but they failed to cure me. I couldn't sleep for many nights from pain. Doctors said I could not live for more than two years. Finally Peterson's Ointment was recommended to me and by its use the sore was entirely healed.” Thankfully yours, William Haase, West Park, Ohio. 35 cents a box.
