New Treatment.
Judging from the reports that are
now pouring into the Bruce drug
store the effect of Root Juice in cases
treated here is even more remarkable
than was at first supposed. A num-
Der of home people who have suffered
for years with Indigestion, loss Of
appetite, bad breath, headache, belch-
ing, bloating, distress after meals and
other symptoms of stomach trouble,
have tested the juice treatment and
some truly remarkable reports have
come in. The first few doses, in
most cases, have restored the appe-
tite and the sufferer is usually sur
prised to find that even though a
heavy meal is eaten, no after dis
tress is felt. The rapidity with
which the juice eXerts it's influence
upon the stomach astonishes nearly
everyone who uses it.
This rapid action probably accounts
also for the promptness with which
rheumatic and kidney sufferers are
reliveed for the medicine seems to
reach such cases almost as quickly
as it does stomach trouble.
