A Letter From Mr Steepes
Brandon Mississippi December 2. I write to publish my story for others suffering as I did. I hunted cattle in Iowa five years and thought I had consumption. A doctor advised moving south where I bought land near Brandon and tried farming but health failed. After drinking Busick’s mineral water for six to eight months I was cured and feel as young as forty years ago. May God bless you and yours.
