COLLEGE STUDENT ENDORSES FONG WAN HERBS 



Berkeley, Calif., April 6, 1932. 

 To Whom It May Concern: 



In January, 1930, I caught a severe 

 cold which settled in my chest and made 

 the entire thoracic area as sore as a boil. 

 I failed to obtain relief elsewhere in the 

 medical line. Four months later this 

 soreness spread to all parts of my body. 

 It felt as if every bone of my body was 

 being crushed. From then on for a year 

 and a half I suffered daily torture. 

 There was not a spot on my body that 

 was not sore. My thorax, shoulders, ribs 

 and back were so sore that even to take 

 a breath above the ordinary would cause 

 the most excruciating pain; my legs felt as though they were made of 

 clay and ached all the time; my throat was so sore I could scarcely 

 talk; every tooth in my head was sore and ached all the time; my 

 tongue felt like a piece of raw beefsteak; my eyes felt as though they 

 were full of lemon juice; my face burned all the time; even the inside 

 of my nose felt raw and inflamed; my face turned a grayish-green; 

 my elbows were so sore and stiff that I could scarcely move them; my 

 hands and fingers became so sore that I could scarcely hold a pen; my 

 back felt as though it were about ready to break in two; my arms felt 

 like rags and ached from my shoulder blades to my finger tips. 



Every hour of every day for over a year and a half, no matter what 

 I did, no matter where I went, my entire body was wracked with sting- 

 ing, burning, itching, sickening pains that would shoot from my toes 

 clear up into my throat and mouth. When the weather was hot I felt 

 as if I were burning up and when it was cold I felt as if a current of 

 electricity were running through me. The nerves all over my body 

 would contract and I felt as if I were being drawn up into a knot. 

 Many and many a time I writhed and cried with pain. 



During all this time I had fifteen different medical examinations 

 but not one of them could diagnose my case or relieve my misery. Then 

 I heard of Fong Wan. It took this wonderful man just about three 

 seconds to tell my case and I noticed improvement upon drinking my 

 first cup of herb tea. All those fires in my body have been quenched; 

 all impurities, salts and acids have been driven out; my blood has been
