WANTS Others TO
RECEIVE BENEFIT
Washington Lady, 80 Years
Old, Relates How Plant
Juice Benefited Her.

There is no virtue in medicine, many
people say Ignorance is the cause Of
people giving voice to such thoughts" /"
said the Plant Juice Man, who has his
headquarters at the Peoples Drug Store,
corner of Seventh and E streets north
west. Now, if you will read what local
people write in regard to Plant Juice
the new herbal stomach remedy, which
is now being introduced here, it will con-
vince the most skepticaL
Since Plant Juice has been introduced
its effects are truly marvellous in COM
batting and eradicating the various
symptoms of a deranged stomach. 1t has
taken a firm hold on the public because
it relieves suffering and restores hope
and happiness to the miserable.
Every day local people are coming for
ward with statements relative to the
benefit they have received in cases of
stomach. liver and kindey trouble.
One of the most recent is that of Mrs
Sophia Kosack. of No. 81 Tenth street
northwest. who tells how she was re-
stored to health by Plant Juice as fol-
lows:
For a number of years I have suf-
fered with stomach trouble; my system
was filled with gas, and / had awful
pains after eating. I got SO bad that
I could not retain any solid food in my
stomach. and 1 dreaded to eat: my liver
and kidneys were badly affected and l
was badly constipated and had to resort
to laxatives all the time. which gave
me no permanent good. 1 had read so
much about Plant Juice that 1 finally
decided to try it. 1t was certainly mar
velous for a woman of my age, and If it
will work such results for me at so years
of age, it would certainly relieve any
one. I am glad to give this public in
dorsement for Plant Juice in the hope
that others who suffer will be benefited
by it,
The Plant Juice Man is at the Peo-
pies Drug Store. corner of Seventh and
f streets northwest, where he is daily
meeting the local public, and introducing
and explaining the merits of this remedy.

ment,' pledged to thrift, abstinence
and patriotism" and launched under
the leadership OF Mrs. Joseph N. Car
zan. spreads as widely as its projectors
hope.
1t was begun in the Germantown
Cricket Club at Mannheim, where four
teen women who had assembled at q
luncheon pledged themselves never TO
serve champagne or cocktails to COL
lege boys or debutantes. Four went
so far as to pledge themselves to total
abstinence forever.
The women said frankly that their
main purpose was to protect young
men just starting out in the business
world from the wiles of the debuta ntes
and from the distractions Of the dance
and wine.
1t was explained that the problem
was not the mere practice Of serving
champagne and cocktails: II was held
that the serving OF liquors to boys
and girls might have a bad effect on
them by encouraging extravagance and
possibly laying the foundation of
harmful habits.
