Introduction=========

Wondro was the trade name of a herbal medicine manufactured and marketed in the first half of the 20thcentury. It was used, apparently successfully, for such a wide variety of illnesses that it was doomed to belabeled "snake oil" and suppressed by those who had no experience with its results. The all-too-rapidpace of societal "progress" often sweeps ideas aside as quaint anachronisms when in fact there are gemswithin that are on the brink of being lost forever. History is forced to hide its most precious secrets untilsuch a time that the world is ready to assimilate the buried truth once again.

Testimonials are not medical research. However, they do represent a part of the historical record thatmay subsequently illuminate concepts that were not fully understood at the time. Did the science of thatday not really comprehend what was happening? The people who wrote these letters so long ago wereeagerly willing to have their names, addresses, and even phone numbers shared with others. Some of thenames of the ailments may have changed but the symptoms are the same.

The contents of this testimonial pamphlet (circa 1930's) are reproduced here in its entirety for posterity(names and addresses abbreviated for anonymity) without any claims of medical efficacy for the diseasesmentioned. However, a possible mode of action for this remarkable substance is described in light ofmore recent biochemical research in the publication "Wondro -- Inside Out" (see "RELATED WORKS").

Wondro======

Wondro is a medicine of proven merit made from herbs that are gathered in all parts of the world. Eachone of the herbs it contains is a remedy for some specific human ailment or bodily weakness and anumber of these valuable ingredients have been blended together in Wondro to act as a tonic and builderto every organ of the body. Wondro positively contains no alcohol or narcotic drugs.

Wondro is by no means an experiment, neither is it another one of the many patent medicines that comeand go at the expense of the public. Wondro has been used by suffering humanity for over a century andduring that time has brought good health to thousands of sufferers; its fame having spread across theDominion and to countries all over the world, through the medium of personal recommendation andpraise.

Wondro can be used with remarkable results for many different types of ailments. IT CANNOTPOSSIBLY HARM even the most delicate constitution and can be given to a new-born baby with positivesafety.

Wondro has been used with complete success to overcome thousands of chronic cases of stomachtroubles, anaemia, rheumatism, rheumatoid-arthritis, sciatica, lumbago, neuritis, asthma, catarrh,constipation, nervousness, skin diseases, boils, piles, influenza, fevers, children's troubles and manyother ailments common to mankind.

The fact that Wondro is primarily an efficacious remedy for disorders of the stomach and blood is thereason it can be beneficially taken for numerous diseases that seem to differ so widely. The cause of poorhealth and origin of the majority of human ailments can be traced to improper functioning of the stomachwhich is the principal organ of the body. The duty of the stomach is to thoroughly digest food and derivetherefrom a sufficient supply of nourishment for all parts of the body. The stomach, however, in, manycases becomes so inactive that food is not completely assimilated but remains in the stomach indefinitely,and forms impurities which are carried throughout the whole system. The condition of the blood therebybecomes impure and circulation of pure blood which is an essential of perfect health is soon a thing of thepast. Consequently, you begin to lose weight, lose your fresh color, lose your pep and soon get nervousand despondent. The organic system is then in a run-down and weakened condition and is susceptible toany of the numerous maladies common to the human body. Many are subject to rheumatism, others moreliable to be afflicted with a skin disease and so on.

Wondro is prepared so that it will act directly on the stomach and accomplish its restorative work throughthat vital organ of the body. Unlike many medicines it does not act merely as a laxative and then becarried away before it has a chance to be of benefit to the system. Wondro clings to the sore tissues onthe lining of the digestive tract until they are completely healed and strengthened. It rejuvenates theaction of the stomach, assures perfect assimilation of food and the creation of nourishment and new redcorpuscles in the blood stream, to be circulated to all parts including even the extremities of the body.Wondro possesses remarkable healing and soothing powers when used either internally or externally.These healing properties are assimilated in the blood and are thereby distributed throughout the entiresystem. Blood is life and pure blood is necessary to overcome any of the numerous diseases that areprevalent in the world today. It has been proven in thousands of cases that Wondro contains the bestingredients that nature can provide for enriching and purifying the blood. This famous herbal remedyregenerates and tones up every weakened organ of the body. Keep your stomach and blood in goodcondition and your body healthy by taking Wondro as a preventative. You thereby build up a reserve ofstrength to fortify against the numerous ailments to which you might otherwise be susceptible. Health islife's greatest asset, so safeguard it accordingly.

Your appetite and digestion will improve after you have taken Wondro for a time; you will enjoy your foodand not suffer disagreeable after effects from formation of gas; you will sleep better; you will have morepep; you will have rosy cheeks; if your weight is below normal it will be brought back to par and arenewed and joyous interest in life will be the result.

A regular action of the bowels is of utmost importance in maintaining perfect health. One separate bottleof Laxico, a medicine for constipation, is included free with every treatment of Wondro. Laxico is alsomade entirely from herbal juices and acts directly with effective results on a sluggish liver. It keeps thebowels in good order and enables them to eliminate impurities by the natural channels, which greatlyhelps Wondro while it is accomplishing its restorative work.

Trust in herbs—-they have always been known as the natural remedy for human ailments. Recently,however, people have turned more to the use of stronger preparations, the active principles of which areharmful drugs. Wondro contains no alcohol or drug, the taking of which would be likely to lead to theformation of habits injurious to the system. The action of Wondro is not harsh or drastic, neither does itmerely allay pain and act as a mere exhilarant, producing temporary effects with the "remedy" then losingits power. The beneficial results derived from taking Wondro are lastingly restorative.

Wondro is the result of extensive scientific investigation by herbalists who worked on the theory that invarious herbs were supplied remedies for all bodily ailments. Physical suffering is prevalent in the worldbut the great Creator gave the world a means of relief. He endowed the stalks, leaves, roots andblossoms of the humble plants growing in the fields or by the wayside with those properties which soothepain, alleviate suffering and heal disease.

Don't pass by herbal remedies. Our forefathers used practically nothing else to fight disease. Theconglomeration of powerful drugs and the habit of operations were unknown to them—-they trusted inherbs. Yet who will say that they were less healthy or sturdy than the race of today?

Herewith are submitted a few testimonials taken from thousands that are on file and open to inspection atour office in Calgary. These testimonials testify to the remarkable work Wondro is doing for sufferinghumanity. The statements printed in this booklet are from prominent, reliable people whose testimonieswill stand the strictest investigation. They are not anxious to have their photographs published but arevery sincere in their statements. Many of these people have telephones and would be pleased to be ableto tell you of their cases. What other medicine is offered for sale with which such proof can be produced?

Your attention is called to the fact that in many instances Wondro accomplished successful results wheresickness had prevailed for years; in others it was taken as a last resource after numerous othertreatments had failed; in still others when the only treatment recommended was an operation. Start takingWondro now before your ailment becomes chronic as it is only natural that any disease will be moreeasily overcome if treated in its early stages.

I couldn't straightenmy legs or fingers, go upstairs, or rest at night for the pain. I could hardly walk. Once I managed to limpthree blocks from home but had to be carried back. I received medical and various kinds of treatments butmy health never improved until I started taking Wondro. It is now about eighteen months ago that I took

Excruciating Rheumatic Pains Overcome

Dear Sir:—Four years ago I was taken down with a severe attack of Rheumatism and after months ofsuffering the pain became so excruciating that I had to quit my work. For years I tried to get rid of thisterrible pain and underwent an operation and tried various other treatments, but nothing seemed to reachthe cause. I might say l received medical treatment in Banff, Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat, Regina,Winnipeg and finally went to Rochester, but in all attempts to regain my health the result was onlytemporary relief. My uncle strongly advised me to try Wondro and I can gladly say the results have beenremarkable, as am now feeling stronger and better than I have for a long time. I am working every day inthe store and find my work is a pleasure to me. I do not hesitate to recommend your medicine to anysufferer.—Yours truly,

Rheumatism and Sciatica Banished

Dear Sir:—I became a prey to both Rheumatism and Sciatica after following my profession of mining forover twenty years from Mexico to Alaska, including a tough four years overseas during the war. I thought Iwas finished but my friend, L.H., the piano accordion teacher, recommended Wondro, as it had saved himfrom a Nervous Breakdown. I tried it and my troubles and pains were soon ended. Since then I havenever been without it as I often get wet and badly chilled. I would consequently be helpless withRheumatism and Sciatica again but an occasional dose from the bottle and I am never troubled.

Well-known Street Railway Man Was a Cripple with Inflammatory Rheumatism

Dear Sir:—Some years ago I took down with the "Flu" and was later afflicted with an attack of RheumaticFever. I fought this for weeks but found that it left me in a very weak and run-down condition. It wastorture for me to walk, and at times was quite helpless. My doctor advised me it was InflammatoryRheumatism. I suffered for a year and a half trying numerous treatments, but with no benefit whatever. Ihad become very discouraged when our postman strongly advised me to try Wondro. I got three bottlesand took it in good heavy doses, and the results were beyond my expectations. The swelling and paindisappeared in a few weeks, and I could feel my circulation improving every day. I felt like a new manafter taking it for three months, and had more pep and color than I had ever had for years. I am an old-timer here, having resided in Calgary for over 19 years; and will be glad to tell any sufferer of mycase.—Yours truly,

Vancouver Lady Suffered Eight Years with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Dear Sir:—Eight years ago I contracted Rheumatoid Arthritis and was almost a helpless cripple. My jointsall became enlarged and out of shape and the suffering was terrible. My teeth and tonsils were taken outand I took all kinds of treatments and serums but without any relief whatever. I had about given up hopewhen I heard about what Wondro was doing for Rheumatoid Arthritis in Vancouver, so I decided to give ita fair trial. I felt a great change coming over me before I had finished the first four bottles. My bloodcirculation improved. I became much stronger, could walk without a stick and felt better in every way. Icontinued it for a year and am delighted to say that I am now able to do all my housework, go shoppingand visiting, eat and sleep fine. I think it is admirable what Wondro has done for such a serious case asmine and I feel it is my duty to let all sufferers of Rheumatoid Arthritis know of my case.—Yours gratefully,

Household Not Complete Without Wondro

Dear Sir:—About fifteen years ago I was terribly stricken down with chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis. I wasbeing attended by three Calgary doctors but became such a cripple that I could not get out of bed andwas proclaimed a "forever sufferer." I was advised as a last resource to try Wondro and you can imaginemy delight, when, after taking a six months' treatment I was completely recovered and able to walk threeor four miles. I have had no return of that terrible affliction since that time and now enjoy splendid health. Ihave ever been a frail and far from robust subject in health which makes it all the more creditable toWondro and to those acquainted with my case. I feel I will always be a debtor in gratitude to Wondro andnever tire of recommending it to my many friends. It is surprising how many of them tell me of the benefitsthey have received from a short time acquaintance of this remedy. Having a family of seven ourhousehold is never complete without having a bottle of Wondro on the shelf. Many times in our family ithas done its part as it is a great preventative of serious maladies. It is amusing to see the boys reach fora dose when troubled with threatening colds or any other complaint—Yours gratefully,

Postman Full of Energy and Pep Since Taking Wondro

Dear Sir:—Just a few words in praise of Wondro. Since 1919 I suffered intense pain around my hips. Itwas clearly shown after being X-rayed that Arthritis was the cause of the pain. Last January I had asevere attack of Peri-articular Arthritis of the left leg and in two months my leg was drawn up severalinches shorter than my right. For two months, without results, I endured a thirty-pound weight to my legand also went under treatments to have the small of my back raised several inches. I was finally advisedby one of my workmates to try Wondro. I immediately started taking it and by the time I had taken half abottle I was able to discard the weight off my leg and in six months I was back at work again. I am a lettercarrier, walking and climbing steps all day which I find to be no trouble at all. I still take Wondro and feelquite a different man, full of energy and pep.—Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir:—I have been a sufferer from Asthma since infancy and have tried all sorts of medicaltreatments, yet none of these gave but temporary relief. Your medicine, Wondro, was highlyrecommended to me by a friend, and I decided to give it a trial. It is almost eight years since I took thefirst bottle of your medicine, and after one treatment I was able to enjoy a full night's sleep, which wassomething I had scarcely ever enjoyed during my lifetime.

Regina Lady Says Asthma Never Returned

Dear Sir:—Several years ago I caught a cold and got in a very run-down condition. I suffered terribly formonths and gradually got worse. I called in my doctor and he told me I had Asthma. I took differentmedicines but nothing seemed to help me in any way. At last I wrote to my father, Mr. C.T.G., Calgary,and he advised me to take Wondro.

Suffered with Asthma Since Great War

Dear Sir:—I was invalided from France in 1916 suffering from that terrible ailment, Asthma. I wasdischarged as medically unfit and spent 22 months in hospitals at different times and tried numeroustreatments without avail. The Asthma left me so weak I could not get any sleep at night, owing toshortness of breath. The only temporary relief received was from hypos. I heard of the extraordinaryaccomplishments of Wondro for cases like mine so started taking it. I am pleased to say that after takingthe first few bottles I could eat and sleep better and after six months treatment I felt like a new man. I canassure you that Wondro has been a God-send to me. It has built up my whole system.—Yours gratefully,

Feels it is Quite Necessary to Pass the Good Word Along

Dear Sir:—I took Wondro and received such great benefit therefrom that I feel it is quite necessary topass the good word along for the benefit of others who may receive similar results. Several years ago Icontracted a severe cold which brought on Bronchitis. My stomach undoubtedly caused the whole troubleas I suffered terribly with indigestion. Severe kidney trouble, poor blood circulation and loss of weightwere but some of my afflictions, and consequently I was a very sick man. I consulted a doctor whoadvised me to go to bed and diet myself. My condition gradually got worse and I continued to lose weightuntil a friend advised me to try Wondro. I began to feel better after six weeks treatment and was able toreturn to my work. I continued to get better daily until today I am well and strong. I now weigh 145pounds, which is more than I ever weighed and dieting is unnecessary. I will be glad to personally tellanyone about my case.—Yours truly,

Calgary Resident of 22 Years Was a Physical Wreck From Asthma

Dear Sir:—Several years ago I was suffering so badly with Asthma and Stomach Trouble that I wascompelled to sell out my business known as the McInnes Hardware Company at Acme, Alberta, andmove to California, thinking the change would be beneficial. However, after a year in Southern California Iwas a physical wreck; in fact, I was given up as a hopeless case at the Paradise Valley Sanatorium. Myweight went down to 110 pounds, my normal weight being 160 pounds. I found that the best medicaltreatment could effect only temporary relief in my case.I was in the despondent stage when I decided to try Wondro, but was certainly pleased at the change itmade in me. I soon began to enjoy better digestion of my food and as the condition of my stomachimproved the terrible Asthma gradually disappeared. I say with all sincerity that it produced results in mycase which were to say the least, greatly surprising. I shall be only too pleased to verify the abovestatements to anyone suffering from Asthma who is fortunate enough to hear of Wondro.—Yours truly,

J.E.M., Calgary, Alberta.

Dear Sir:—I suffered for years with Piles and only those who have them know what it means. I also hadUlceration of the Stomach and would be in bed for days at a time and tried everything I could think of, butwith no results whatever. I was advised by my physician to have an operation as I seemed to be gettingworse. At last a friend advised me to try Wondro, and I am thankful to say that after I had given it a fairtrial, my Piles and Ulcers had gone completely. I found the remedial effects of the treatment to be lastingas I have had no return of either complaint. My son suffered for seven years with frequent, periodicattacks which would upset his whole system. The doctors did everything possible for him and we alsosent to the States for special medicine but he was no better. He decided to try Wondro and consideringthe short time he has taken it the results have been beyond our expectations. He has only taken sixbottles. The attacks left him after the second bottle and he has had none since. He is now stronger andlooks better than he has for 20 years.

Good Results In Treating Eczema

Dear Sir:—Some years ago I was badly kicked by a horse over the eye, which necessitated me having anoperation in the General Hospital to have several pieces of dead bone removed. This had poisoned mywhole system, and I was later afflicted with Eczema all over my head and face, which no doubt wascaused by the impurities that had been thrown off into my blood. I tried all kinds of ointments andtreatments, but nothing seemed to help me. Finally I obtained three bottles of Wondro and am glad to beable to say that it completely healed the Eczema and regenerated my whole system. I am well-known inCalgary, having lived here for 30 years, and will be glad to recommend your great herbal medicine toanyone suffering with Eczema.—Yours very truly,

CONSTIPATION, LIVER, KIDNEY AND BLADDER COMPLAINTS==================================================

Constipation if not checked is the cause of many disorders. Wondro does not act directly as a laxative butin time heals and strengthens the bowels, assuring natural and regular elimination without the aid ofstrong purgatives. It eases the racking pain of colic or colitis by comforting the bowels and dischargingflatulent humors which bring on the trouble.Laxico should be taken to act directly as a laxative, particularly in cases where the liver has a tendency tobe sluggish, until Wondro accomplishes its restorative work. The two taken as a treatment re-establishnormal working functions of the organs and enables them to evacuate impurities from the body as natureintended. Laxico can be purchased separately in 50 cent and $1.00 sizes.

Feeling Better Than Ever

Dear Sir:—I wish I had known about Wondro years ago as it would have saved my husband a lot ofmoney. I have had poor health for the past five years since going under an operation for female troubles.Several months ago I was rushed to the hospital but just escaped another operation for Kidney Infectionas I was in too weak a condition. I heard of Wondro, sent for a treatment and after taking two bottles I feltlike a different person. I gained four pounds in two weeks and felt much stronger as it seemed to work onevery part of my body. Yesterday I went to my doctor for an examination and he said I looked muchbetter. I had got rid of my jaundice and the condition of my gall bladder and blood test was greatlyimproved. My husband had Rheumatic Fever three times and was in bed for about three months eachtime. He has been taking Wondro recently and now feels better than ever. A friend of mine who tookWondro for neuritis told me that she is already greatly improved. I highly recommend Wondro to all as Iknow it will fully justify my praise.—Yours truly,

Had Given Up Hope

Dear Sir:—About five years ago I began to fail in health and lose weight. I was troubled with Constipation,Kidney and Stomach Trouble and had no strength or energy. I was also in a very nervous condition. InJuly of 1928 my normal weight was 170 pounds but later my nerves and health failed until my weight wentdown to 128 pounds. I tried numerous treatments but seemed to be getting worse so I gave up hope andgot into a very depressed condition. A friend of mine who had taken Wondro and regained his healthadvised me to give it a trial. I purchased four bottles and after taking the second bottle I began to feel achange all over my body. My appetite improved, my meals digested better and I could steep much easier.I felt like a new person after taking four bottles and my nerves were a lot better. My weight is now 158pounds and I am gaining weight every day. I can also see a great improvement in the condition of myhair, as before taking Wondro it was matty and dead looking. My friends who saw me in my run-downcondition, can hardly believe the change that has taken place in me and I owe it all to your medicine. I feelso grateful I will always recommend Wondro to my friends.—Yours very truly,

Every Mother Should Read This Letter

Dear Sir:—I have much pleasure in letting you know what a blessing your medicine has been to myfamily. About seven years ago, when my daughter was an infant, two months old, she developed BowelTrouble and her system thereby seemed to become thoroughly poisoned. Although we got the best ofmedical skill, my baby seemed to pine away, hour by hour; sometimes the spark of life just seemed toflicker. I was near to distraction when a neighbor persuaded me to try Wondro, although it seemed only aforlorn hope. The effect of this medicine on my child was greatly surprising. She gained strength steadilyfrom the first dose, small as it was and in three weeks time had made a complete and rapid recovery.Another daughter, now eleven years of age, suffered pitifully from Nervous Muscular Twitching. She wasentirely rid of this terrible affliction after taking your famous herbal remedy for several months. Our familydoctor hardly knew her after she had taken Wondro. No words of mine can express my gratitude. Wehave seven of a family and my husband and myself have proven beyond doubt, the merits of Wondro asa family medicine. Our children are all pictures of health and are well acquainted with Wondro as it seemsto fortify them against many maladies to which they might otherwise be susceptible.—Yours truly,

Eight Weeks Old Baby Thrives on Wondro

Dear Sir:—I am writing you this letter to let you know I am feeling in tip-top shape again after takingWondro. I suffered with Rheumatism in my neck, shoulders and arms. The pain was awful for me to eventurn over in bed. I am glad to say before I had finished three bottles my blood was back to normal and Idid not have a pain or an ache. I have recommended it to several of my friends and they all say thesame—that it has been used with great reward. My wife has been giving it to one of our twin babies, eightweeks old. He was very restless and cried with pain most of the night and naturally did not thrive like thegirl. We hardly got a night's rest with him. He took it fine right off the dummy. We noticed the change fromthe first night. He has picked up fine in two weeks and now sleeps soundly. I can assure you that I feelvery grateful and cannot do other than boost Wondro.—I remain, yours sincerely,
