A few months ago I had frequent fl fl dull aches in my back, my muscles felt sore. I had frequent fl fl headache and my appetite was varying: at t : ...?s I did not care fl fl for food for a whole day. The doctor claimed that my liver was fl fl inactive and th.it this affected my kidneys somewhat; he pre- fl fl scribed for me and I took his medicine for ever two months. fl B Finding that this brought no relief and that I kept getting worse, 9 fl a lodge friend advised me to try Syrup Pepsin. 1 used three fl fl bottles and felt greatly relieved, and after having taken five fl fl bottles in all I was completely cured. fl fl lam very grateful for my continued health and feel it a daily fl B blessing, which I appreciate as never before. fl Sincerely yours, HIRAM N.
