kidneys were so badly deranged, she
suffered a great deal with pains in
the small of her back and stomach
and bowels, her tongue was badly
coated and she always had a bad
taste in her mouth; she was very
nervous, sleep did not refresh her.
In fact she had so many pains and
they were frequently SO severe hat
she couldn't tell what part of the
body panied the moot. She has
treated with doctors for months at
a time. but was growing worse ali
the time. OF late u neighbors
have been talking SO much about
Root Juice and telling of the won-
derful things 1t is doing that she
decided to try it. She has been US
ing it but a short while, but is al
most entirely free from pain and
is gaining in strength very rapidly,
