Mr. Il. L Bassinger, Of lis Elm street,

told him there was no cure for him, the

Lack OF space makes it impossible to
print all OF the many similar stories that
were told, but it is safe to say that at least
dozen people reeited equally interesting
and startling experiences.
WONDERFUL MEDICINE CAN

Local people are to be given an opport-
unity to test the new Root Juice treat

marvellous results and which created so
much excitement in Atlanta during the
demonstration at that place. The main
laboratories at Fort Wayne, Ind. where
the medicine is prepared. have made ar
engagements so druggiats can now procure
it through their wholesalers and those
who have not already placed it IN stock
can easily get it.

ton, belching, bloating, pains after meals,
loss of appetite, headaches. seeplessness.

impure blood, rheumatic pains or other
symptoms of functional disturbances Of
the stomach, liver, kidneys or bowels
can therefore, obtain the Root Juice ia
one dollar bottles at any good pharmacy
or by writing direct to the Root Juice
Laboratories at Fort Wayne, Ind.
In view OF the phenomenal cures that
have been reported from elsewhere it is
believed that home people, suffering from
various forms OF stomach, liver. kidney
and bowel disorders. will find in the new
treatment the same wonderful results,
which have been experienced by those
who have already used it.
