Having recently heard of you - I take the liberty to come to you for help - perhaps I am taking too great a liberty- but I feel unless you can assist me I must die. -

I was afflicted first with congestion & inflammation As Written: inflamation of the whole internal organs - then diphtheria & at last nervous prostration and dyspepsia which the doctors say I am still suffering and have been for most five years

I have spent all I have and am dependent on my father who is a poor man, not able to give me more than my board - if I could only regain my health no one knows how thankful I should be - I have suffered so long I am totally discouraged - can you do anything for me? Will you help me?

"The Lord" says ask and ye shall receive.Matt 7:7 ¶Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matt 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Respectfully
Miss. L. K. Hosley.
