NOT SICK ONE DAY
 SINCE TAKING II Mrs. Margaret Davies of Birmingham Tells Won derful Story About
 Plant Juice

In order that any man Nor woman may derive full measure of pleasure and success from life, it is necessary that he or she should be possessed of health in mind and body. It is cer- tain that the greatest thing in all this world is health; without 1t a2man can scarcely do anything worth doing; he can accomplish little that 1t really worth accomplishing.
 Attention to health, then, should take precedence over every other 3object That which is necessary to secure it should receive consideration in pref erence to everything else: For in- stance. the preparation, Plant Juice. the new herbal stomach remedy, which is gaining such a following in Flr- mingham. where daily grateful people are testifying to it's merits and rec ommending it to their friends.
 Recently the signed statement was received of Mrs. Margaret Davies, who lives at No. 122 Waller street, Bir- mingham, West End, and who Is a well-known church worker, having been a member for the past 50 years. She said
 T had heen a geat sufferer from stomach trouble for long time and was unable to get any relief. All my food fermented and turned sour in my stomach and I would bloat up like a balloon. I had severe headaches and dizzy spells, and at times felt as though I was falling from great height had pains all through my body and black spots would come before my eyes
 T suffered also from a bad case of catarrh of the head. nose and throat. The gas in my stomach pressed under my heart and caused palpitation. l had become so bad that I was unable to do any of my housework, and was growing weaker every day as l could not eat
 My druggist advised me to try Plant Juice. which I did. It helped be at once, and in short time I was able to eat any kind of food, and l sleep the night through. l passed from my .svsten. a monster parasite, called a tape worpi' which measured S5 feet in length, and from that day to this have never had return of my old trouble It certainly was godsend to me and I will never get through telling about this medicine, Plant Juice, restoring me to health"
 The Plant Juice Man is at Norton S Drug Store, corner Second avenue and Twentieth street, in Birmingham. where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explain ing the merits of Plant Juice. Free samples given.--Adv
