TELLSIT TO THE
PLANT juice MAN
George A. Thomas, 204S 9Th
St. N. w., Says His Father
Was Benefited by Plant
Juice.

Stomach trouble is simply a name
given to designate a variety of pains"
said The Plant Juice Man, who has his
headquarters at the Peoples Drug Store,
corner of 7th & "E" Streets n. w, in
a recent interview. land can only be
reached bv a systematic treatment. II is
true that the pains may BE- eased will,
narcotics. or the poisonous acids NAV be
neutralized for the time being. Such
methods are only temporary at best, and
do not even lead to permanent results, for
as soon as the effect of the narcotic
wears away, the sufferer is in precisely
the same condition as before.
There is a standard remedy, Plant
Juice, which is purely herbal. designed
for just such ills as stomach liver and
kidney trouble. 1t contains Orly extracts
from purely medicinal plants and is abso-
Iutely free from minerals, narcotics or
other injurious poisons
Since its introduction here many people
are calling out of gratitude to thank me
for what Plant Juice has done for them.
Mr.. George A. Thomas, of No. e04s Sth
tstreet. N. w. who has many friends and
acquaintances here, tells in the following
statement how his father was relieved of
q bad illness by Plant Juice, after years
OF suffering. He said:
MY father had suffered for a long time
with stomach trouble; he would be badly
worst kind of misery: he had no appetite,
and could hardly keep any solid food in
his stomach: he was afraid to sit down
to a meal; he was so nervous he could
not sleep well at night, had headaches,
caused from q deranged liver, his kdneys
were affected and he was always consti-
pated. He had read 50 much about what
Plant Juice was doing for WASHINGTON
people that he finally decided to try it,
He had taken 1t for only q short time
with splendid results; he Is now able to
eat anything he wants and digest 1t, ana
enjoys all of his meals; his headaches
have disappeared and he Is no longer
constipated. He says he Is very thankful
that he heard of Plant Juice and Is glad
to recommend 1t to others"
The Plant Juice Man Is at the Peoples
Drug Store. corner OF 7th and "E' streets
N. W.. where he Is daily meeting the
lAcaI public. and introducing and explain
