Nowadays whenever some scientist DIS
coYers a new formula for removing dis
ezse, and in this way gets his name be-
fore the public, Immediately unscrupu-
lous, non-ethical manufacturers and, 9TH
ers, seeking to gain the benefit of little
free advertising, flood the market with
world of worthless limitations. Since the
inftator claims just as much for his imi-
tation as the originator can for his in
vention, it becomes very hard for the
public to differentiate between the two.
The manufacturers of Plant Juics, the

and dyspepsia so bad that I could hardly
keep the lightest kind of food in my
stomach; it would ferment and cause gas
to form there, and / was badly bloated;
