phenomenal results, are coming from

phenomenal results, are coming from
everywhere.
Dozens of people here in town who
were among the first to obtain the
medicine at the drug stores, are now
telling of benefits that have been de-
rived from its use.
From all reports, the Root Juice ex-
erts powerful curative and tonic in
fiuence upon the vital organs of the
body and has a wonderful purifying
and cleansing action on the blood.
Some of those who have tried it say
that even the first few doses produce
noticeable benefit, sharpen the ap-
petite, create new strength. 1t relieves
indigestion, belching, the formation of
gas on the stomach and pains after
meals, in surprising manuer and it
is declared that its continued use for
a short time strengthens and tones
the stomach so that Indigestion is
soon forgotten. Rheumatic sufferers,
too, say that the effect of the medi-
cine on sore, swollen, aching limbs
and joints is wonderful and that the
pain simply seems to vanish.
The following extracts from few
of the many recent reports will con-
lvey good idea of the great results
that are being obtained by its use in
many cities over the country. F..
Abel, Seymour, Ind, 81 have used
the medicine with fine results and know
of many others it has helped" Albert
Timlick, Cantrall, ILL.,, 81 have suffer-
ed with stomach trouble two years.
Was almost dead one night VIXEN / sent
for Root Juice, After three or four
doses felt much better. 1t has since
worked wonders for me-" j. E. Ogden
of st. Louis, Mo-, 'It is the best medi-
cine l ever used and | have tried many
kinds, Joe Battle, Moultrie, Ca, 81
have tried Root juice and received
more benefit than fro m any medicine
l ever used" Other similar reports
have come from Car ington, N. OAK !,
Anderson, Ind, Kane, Penn, Chicago,
ILL.,, Harrisburg, Va, Springfield, Ill. /,
Bellefontaine, Ohio, and many other
cities in all parts of Il e United States.
In as much as lar bottle holding
nearly pint can now be easily obtain

it thorough trial.
