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.

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 someoue sent us a Joan the Wad. We have never found out who it was, but, coincidence if you like, within a week Igota much better job and my wife had some money left her. Since then We have _ never looked back and, needless to say, Swear by ‘Queen Joan’. AS MATCHMAKER. A young girl wrote and informed me that she had 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 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, so you see I have cause to bless ‘Queen Joan’.” Mrs. WILSON, of Fal- mouth, says, 1951: Since receiving Joan the Wad... my husband’s health has improved 100% JOAN is Queen of the Lucky Cornish Piskeys.

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 sold out, rein- vested the money at greater profit and have prospered ever since.”’ All you have to do is to send a shilling (savings stamps accepted) and a stamped addressed envelope for the history to 441, JOANS COTTAGE, LANIVET, BODMIN, CORNWALL, ENG.
