though I was coming down with typhoid
fever. It'was no doubt a bad case of
grippe. Mr. E. P. Budge gave me shot-e
tle of Brazilian Balm, saying he was
sure it would help me. The relief was
almost instantaneous. It quickly
stopped my cough- and took the grippe
with all the ains and soreness out of
my system. gave the balance of the
SO-c‘ent'bottleato MrsfiBish'op Wiley for
her daughter. It proved so beneficial
she says she never intends to be without
it.”-—Edwin Fitz J ones, Cincinnati,0hio.
