Still there did not seem to be much improvement in my condi- tion. Then, eyeing in one of the papers a case similar to my own having been cured by Clarke's Blood Mixture,' I thought I would try it, and, after a few bottles, found a groat improvement, so continued with your Mixture, and am glad to say the wodnds in my hip are completely healed and the pain is all gone, in fact I am now quite cured and able to wffrk agaiu."
