I have been thinking for sometime of writing you to tell you what wonders D. D. D. has wrought in the cure of my wife.

She had doctored with many of the meet prominent doctors in various towns but failed to get relief. We had about given up all hope of relief when one day my eye dropped on your ad. D. D. D. has made a complete cure. It“took fifteen but had we been governed by directions I am satisfied that from six to ten bottles would have brought the same results. I consider my investment- in D. I). D. the best I ever made, for ipy wife’s condition was tefrible. At one' time all her finger nails came off. The trouble was on her hands the soles of her feet. Should any doubt that this tes-v timonial is not genuine, if they will write a letter enclosing a two cent stamp, I will be glad to answer all questions.' JAS. AND MARY McCONAHAY. So many convincing statements, similar to the above, have been made to us privately by sufferers from aggravated skin diseases to wlhom we have sold the D. D. D.

Company we can furnish anyone who has not triad the remedy with a special size bottle for 25 cents. B. F. FENDIG, Rensselaer, Ind. > 3*
