Great Excitement
 In Ensley
Monster Parasite Removed From Lady.
 Is Very Grateful Woman.

Visitors to Averyt's Pharmacy, Ensley, last Sunday were electrified at the ex- h.bition of an enormous parasite that had been removed from lady residing in that district. The lady in question proved to be Mrs. Ida B. Fitts, the estl- laable wife of H. B. Fitts, a machinist, in the employ of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company, who resides at l4l5 Avenue F. Ensley.
 in an interview with a representative of the press, Mrs. Fitts said:
 I have been sufferer for several years. and have never known what was the matter with me. felt tired all the time and could not sleep nights. l had a very weak back and used to have dizzy spells and would see spots before my eyes if I stopped to pick up anything. felt blue and discouraged and did not seem to have any energy. My stomach troubled me a great deal and had very irregular appetite. 1 suspected that great deal of my trouble came from disordered stomach, and heard so much about Dilingham's Plant Juice medicine and what 1t was doing for other people that | purchased a bottle of it. l have taken several doses of the medicine, and this morning the thing I have in this tin pail passed from my system
 rs. Fitts, as she spoke, removed the cover from a small tin bucket, which contained an enormous tapeworm, which, upon being measured, proved to be over thirty feet in length. The great parasite was placed in a glass bowl and allowed to remain in the show window of Averyt's drug store where 1t excited a great deal of attention from callers for the rest of the afternoon. Speaking about the mat ter somewhat later Mrs. Fttts said:
 fl am very grateful for what Plant Juice has done for me. as I might have ofa for xyao effffarinu o,,A never suspected what was wrong with me. I have consulted number of phy- sicians who either said I had stomach trouble or nervous trouble but never told me what was the matter Colonel Dilling ham is wonderful man and he has ac- complished a great deal of good in this section"
 The following sworn testimonial best tells the story of Mrs. Fitts' troubles, an the subsequent relief afforded by Plant Juice:
 Publicity Permitted.
 Ensley, May F. 1907. To Whom it May Concern:
 This Is to certify that on Thursday, May 9, 1907. I procured from Averyt's Pharmacy, bottle of Dilingham's Plant Juice. I have been suffering for ten years by a general breaking down of my health, coupled with swimming at the mead, palnS and palpltatlon around the heart. My back has been very lame and weak. bearing down pains below the waist and dragging sensation below the hips. Stomach did not seem to digest my food and have suffered with sick headaches and constipation. Have been aware that I was troubled with tape worm and on three different occasions have taken med icine to cause the same to pass from my system, but without success. This morning however, at 11:20 a. m., passed an enormous parasite, the neck, head and body being complete, and the same measuring thirty-six feet in length. cannot say too much in praise of Plant Juice. and even now three hours after getting rid of the monster, feel like an entirely different woman and have en- joyed u hearty dinner.
 My husband Is H. B. Fftts and is em- ployed as machinist by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, and we reside at No. 1415 Avenue F. Ensley, Ala.
