I kept right on taking them, delighted that I had at last found something that would give me relief and perhaps cure me. I can only add that I continued to improve until at last I was cured. I had one slight setback, due to discontinuing the use of the remedy too soon, so I bought two more boxes and by the time I had taken the contents I was entirely cured, for I have not had any return of the trouble since, although this was several months ago."
