When an army is very strong and powerful, in order to defeat it, 

 the attacking force must secure other nations as allies. Likewise, in 

 overcoming serious ailments, it requires the combined powers of a 

 number of varieties of herbs, all working together in harmonious al- 

 liance, to eradicate the disease. 



Let us take a case of Gall-stones, for example. The inflamed condi- 

 tion of the Liver causes inflammation and congestion of the Gall Duct; 

 and the Bile either overflows, causing Yellow Jaundice, or solidifies into 

 Gall-stones. At intervals, the liver becomes greatly inflamed, causing 

 swelling in the entire right side of the trunk from the glands of the 

 neck to the lower part of the abdomen. The Appendix then swells and 

 Appendicitis sets in. When the stones are passing through, they cause 

 such intense pain that the sufferer frequently loses consciousness. As 

 a symptom of Gall and Liver Troubles, there is generally more or less 

 pain starting beneath the right rib and running around the right side, 

 up to the shoulder blades. 



In a condition of this sort, five or six kinds of herbs must be com- 

 pounded for the Liver and Gall; auxiliary herbs must be added to 

 cleanse the blood and rid it of the fire element (inflammation) ; some 

 herbs must be put in to cause the air and the blood to circulate proper- 

 ly; other varieties must be used to take away the swelling; and still 

 other herbs must be added for the Nerves of the Shoulder Blade. How 

 similar is this process to the maneuvers of an army which opens fire 

 with seventeen-inch guns to break down the defense works of the 

 enemy, rushes forward its cavalry as auxiliaries, and follows up with 

 the infantry. Victory is thus assured! 



Quite frequently, sufferers from Gall-stones who have won the vic- 

 tory over them by taking the Fong Wan Herbs, have brought to the 

 office bottles of Gall-stones that have passed from them. Up to the 

 time of this writing not a single person who has taken the Fong Wan 

 Herbs for Gall-stones has either had to be operated on or has even 

 suffered again. 



Most treatments for Gall and Liver Trouble have a tendency to 

 physic the sufferer regardless of whether he is strong enough to stand 

 it. The Fong Wan Herbs work independently through the blood cir- 

 culation instead of weakening the individual's constitution. 



Many cases of Liver and Gall Bladder Trouble have been mistaken 

 for Appendicitis, and the Appendix has been cut out, thus leaving the 

 ailments of the Gall and Liver untouched.
