this notable formula is an established
fact In this city. Every day signed testi-
monials are received. speaking of the
great benefits derived from the use o.
Plant Juice.
One of the most recent statements
made concerning this much discussed
preparation is from Mr.. Albert 8.
Rablett, a popular euploye Of the Dis
trict surveyors office. who resides at
No. 1912 N street northwest. and has
many friends and acquaintance In this
city. He stated:
For years | have suffered with
stomach and kidney trouble; all the food
that 1 ate fernented in my stomach and
formed gas; I would bloat terribly after
meals and could hardly retain anything
in my stomach as it gave me such agony
afterward. I was so nervous that could
not sleep at night and dizzy spells, head
aches and my bowels were very irregu-
lar: had tried so many different kinds
OF medicine that I had lost all faith in it.
and when your Plant Juice was recon-
mended to me, had very little faith in
it ever helping me; however, after 1 had
taken a few doses, felt little better,
and continued to take it. Now, I am glao
to state, for the benefit of other fellow
sufferers, that 1 sleep we'll. have no more
trouble with my liver. and the gas has
left my system. 1 certainly will be a
booster for Plant Juice, for it has en-
tirely restored my health to me again 4"

Switzerland Reserves All
Her Rights as Neutral Nation

Paris, Feb. lO.-The Swiss Federal
Council in its reply to the German note
on the new submarine campaign enters
an energetic protest against the announc-
ed blockade and reserves all the rights
of Switzerland as neutral, according to
the Havas News Agency's Berne CORE
spondent. 1t expressed confidence, how
ever, that the German government will
take all necessary measures TO assure
the protection of Swiss interests.
After referring to the German govern
ment's communication upon the aug
mentation of the maratime warfare the
Berne advices state the council declares
that 1.-The imperial government cannot fall
to recognize that the measures announc-
ed by this memorandum constitute an
attack upon the right of peaceful COM
merce, in, in conformity with the prin-
ciples of International law, belongs to
Switzerland in it's character as a neutral
state. In fact the blockade of nearly all
ports susceptible of being utilized by
Switzerland presents a serious danger In
matter of our provisionment in food pro-
ducts and in raw materials, as well as
without respect to our expectations over
the sea.
Even if by friendly agreement with
the French government the utilization of
the port of Cette, exempted from the
blockade, is rendered possible, mainline
transport would be restrained to de-
gree which would cause sensible injury to
our national economy.
