Back from the Shadow

Read This Man’s Story. A man from Minneapolis, Minnesota, writes us May 27tli, 1911: “You may perhaps be interested in hearing of my personal experience with BONANO. “Some months ago I was taken to the hospital and for over four weeks could take no food of any kind, liquid or solid. During that time I vomited two or three times per hour, and 1 sank lower and lower every day. Then I went through an operation which reduced my vitality to the lowest possible ebb. “The physicians and nurses fought to save my life; every food, stimulant and medicine known to medical science to be of use in such cases was brought into play, but my stomach re fused to do its part. Everything was done that could be done and yet I was starving to death and very near the end. “The physicians finally gave it up, and they came and told me so. ‘lt is up to you’ they said, and I can assure you I never befo.re quite realized the full force of that expression. “It was up to me and my brain awoke from its lethargy of the past weeks, to action. “ ‘BONANO’—why hadn’t I thought of that won’t help me out. I asked my wife to get some for me. It was brought and she made some for me in the hospital kitchen. “The first hour the nurse fed me a cupful, giving it in spoonfuls every few minutes. I was given three more cupfuls during that 24 hours, and the next 24 hours I took a cupful every 3 hours. I retained every drop of it; the first thing of any description that had staid on my stomach in 29 days. My stomach grew stronger every hour and after 3 days' continued use of BONANO I was able to retain a little broth and some soft boiled egg. “I gained rapidly each day, using BONANO with my meals and two* or three times between meals. In three weeks’ time I was able to be moved on a stretcher to my home, and as I left the hospital one doctor told me I was the sickest patient ever in the institution that left it alive.

“I might mention that the hospital I was in was in connection with the Medical College that ranks third in the world in medical science and surgery. I had the best the institution could give. “I have gone more into detail in this matter that you may know that I was a sick man and that BONANO was given a good test by an exceeding weak stomach. “There id much I can say in praise of BONANO. This I will say at this time: I have given BONANO a much severer test than one in a million could give it. and live to report; and I am confident that BONANO 1b the most easily digested and assimilated food, liquid or solid, obtainable. “I am glad BONANO is in good hands, hands that will, as rapidly as possible, show It to aU the people. “I owe my life to the use of BONANO at the time I mention. “Do you wonder I believe in it, and want everybody to know It and use it?”
