Mr. Hayden:
Please send me a treatment of medi

I had the worst colds I have ever had
and it was just as loose as it could be.
I just spit it up, phlegm, by the
mouth full. I have some dizzy spells
sometimes and I can hardly .walk
across the house as I am so weak. I
can hardly get up when I ssit down
and my system is gone clean down.
I had a slight stroke and I can hardly
talk. I can’t deliver my speech very
well. So please forward me the medi
