constantiv. I had pains across' my

My sleep wtu broken through having
to get up several times during tho
night. My condition beeame so bad
1 finally had to give up my job.
"Seeing in the Ardmorelte how
Puratone had helped others I thought
I would try it. After taking three
bottles I am on my job again and

nm sleeping well and am not troubled
by having to get up nights and those
black spots have disappeared. In
