JOAN THE WAD GUARANTEED DIPPED IN WATER FROM THE LUCKY SAINT’S WELL AS LUCK BRINGER Another writes: ‘‘ Since the War my wife and I have been dogged by persistent ill-luck, and we seemed to be sinking lower and lower. One day someone sent us a Joan fhe Wad. Wehave never found out who it was, but coinci- dence if you like, within a week I got a much better job and my wife had some money left her. Since then we have a pees back and, needless to say, swear by ‘ Queen oan. — AS PRIZEWINNER A young man wrote us only last week: “ For two years I entered competitions without luck, but since getting Joan the Wad I have frequently been successful although I have not won a big prize, but I know that » who won £2,000 in a competition, has one because I gave it to him. When he won his £2,000, he gave me £100 for myself, s0 you see I have cause to bless ‘ Queen Joan.’ ” is the QUEEN of the Lucky Cornish Piskeys, and with whom good luck and good health always attend. AS HEALER One Lady writes: ‘‘ My sister suffered very badly for years, but since I gave her a Joan the Wad to keep near her she is much easier. Do you think this is due to Jour or the Water from the lucky Well ? ” , _. AS MATCHMAKER A young girl wrote and informed me that she had scores of boy friends, but it was not until she had visited Cornwall and taken Joan back with her that she met the boy of her dreams, and as they got better acquainted she discovered he also has Joan the Wad. AS SPECULATOR A man writes: “I had some shares that for several years I couldn’t give away. They were 1/- shares and all of a sudden they went up in the market to 7/9. I happened to be staring at Joan the Wad. Pure imagination, you may say, but I thought I saw her wink approvingly. I sold out reinvested the money at greater profit and have prospered ever since.” OAN THE WAD’S achievements are unique. Never before was such a record placed before the Public.
