Science and philanthropy have done

stomach remedy, has done more for
the ills of today. and thousands have
willingly testified TO the truth of this
statement. for in the discovery of
Plant Juice and the consequent use and
penefits received by multitude who
have suffered from stomach. liver and
kidney troubles 1t has proven itself a
real friend 10 humanity
The kind of proof which is convinc-
ing and that is daily adding thousands
to the already great number who use
Plant Juice when In a condition of i'll
health are the statements of local peo-
pie who have given II Il fair trial and
have been greatly benefited.
Take for instance the statement of
Mrs. Edward Moffett, OF No. 1888 Writ
Street, a wel-known Baltimore lady,
who tells how her husband was re-
lieved of severe illness through the
use of Plant Juice. She said:
For several months my husband has
suffered greatly with his stomach, and
was in such a weak condition that he
could not retain any solid food in his
stomach; 1T would ferment and he was
bloated with gas: after eating any
thing he would have awful vomiting
spells: he could not sleep at night and
got very weak; none of the medicines
he took gave him any relief until he
started to take Plant Juice; he now
eats anything and 1t agrees with him,
he sleeps we'll and has no more gas I'm
his sytem. no more vomiting spells md
feels better and stronger in every way.
He is glad to recommend Plant Juice
to others"
