GLAD TO PRAISE
THE new REMEDY
A Prominent Washington Matron
Gives Glowing Testimonial
For Plant Juice.

In an interview, yesterday, The Plant
Juice Man, who has his headquarters
at The Peoples Drug Store, corner OF
18th and E Sts. n. W. where he is intro
ducing the new herbal stomach rem
edy, Plant Juice, said:
IF people would only realize that 90
per cent of all the ills which the human
flesh Is heir to are directly traceable to
that much abused organ, the stomach,
and when the digestive organs are not
properly performing the work which Ma
ture has assigned them, then nutrition,
which is absolutely essential to the re
cOvery of other diseased parts, will be
lacking, and there can be no permanent
relief. 1t usually begins from weakness,
from a lack of vital activity in the secre-
tory glands Of the stomach; from a want
of sufficient gastric Juice; hence a
remedy that will arouse these parts
and infUse them with vitality, will
remove the cause, and the dreadful
symptoms, which denote stomach, liver
and kidney. trouble will vanish.
Plant Juice stimulates the secretory
glands. attacks and destroys all
poisons in the blood. corrects diseased
conditions of the stomach. liver and
kidneys, and restores them to normal
condition. This contention is verified
daily by scores of local people in
signed testimonials.
One of the most recent Is that of
Mrs. Samuel Hance, of Capitol Heights,
a prominent Washington lady, who
consented to allow her name to ap-
pear in print, on account of the great
benefit she derived from Plant Juice.
She said:
For years l have suffered with
neuralgia Of the head and rheumatism
!E my arms and shoulders and 1 suffered
such pain that 1 could not raise my
arms to comb my hair. This trouble
was brought on by putting my hands
IN cold water. and it affected my
spinal cord and entire system; ! was
so nervous 1 could not sleep at night,
and got very weak and entirely run
down. 1 had no appetite and nothing
tasted good to me; 1 had headaches,
>and was badly constipated. had
read and heard so much about Wash
Ington people who had been cured by
your Plant Juice that I finally de-
cided 1 would try IT. I am certainly
glad that / did for it has made a new
woman of me and words cannot ex-
press my gratitude. I know that If
it would relieve me. in the condition
] was in, that it would relieve any
one. I am glad to give this public
endorsement for it."-Adv.

by the House on the bill and have the
perfecting amendments ratified by the
Senate before the adjournment Of the

When the District Committee meets to-
day, the Pastors Federation, comprising
4 majority Of the ministers Of the Dis

sufflcient to bring It up again in the upper
branch and offer an opportunity for ILL
