follows:
MY husband had been n great sui
ferer from stomach trouble for n
long time. and although he had tried
many medicines and had been under
treatment, he never got any relief
until he started to take Plant JuIco.
IN July last he had such n bad smell
with his stomach hat he was de-
lirions Tor hours and afterwards
was so weak and nervous that he was
not able to go to his work: he had
headaches. could not sleep. and never
could keen any solid food in his stom-
ach. We heard so much about PLANT
Juice my husband got n bottle and
it did him so much good that he con-
tinued TO take 1t for several weeks.

to eat all kinds Of food, sleeps 0nc
