Message From Davenport Man On Salve Cure
Willie Munual of Davenport Iowa credits Atkins Medicine Co for a salve that saved his arm from amputation. After a scratch worsened due to gasoline exposure doctors suggested skin specialists and surgery, but using the salve daily from October 9 to 25 allowed bandages to come off and the arm to heal. He spent nearly $100 on treatment before trying the salve at about 60 cents worth. He invites verification from skeptical readers and asks Atkins to share the message with friends.
