Greensburg, Pa., July li, 1898. About four years ago one side of my abdomen began to enlarge from a growth inside. It grew to such proportions that it seemed to fill the abdomen. Then dropsy began and swelled both ls*gs nnd stomach to twice their normal size. The doctors called the trouble enlargement of the spleen, and told me I must die. I was removed from the hospital and sent for Dr. J. H. McLean's Liver and Kidney Balm. I took seven bottles and continually gained and am well in every way now. The dropsy entirely disappeared and left growth very small. Michael O'Neal. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. • n •
