BEYOND BELIEF IS
THE HELP HE HAD
4 Strong Testimonial Given
by Popular Virginia Lady
for Plant Juice.
HUSBAND HAD SUFFERED
He Can Now Eat His Food
without Distress; Sleeps
Fine and Has No
More Pain.
HUSBAND HAD SUFFERED

There is q modern remedy that is
magical in It's effect and that Is Plant
Juice, the new herbal stomach medi-
cine. 1t rectifes the wrong done to
the body by getting at the root of
the trouble. it feeds the nerve ten
drills vigor and vitality. and they, in
turn. feed the different functional
organs this same strength. 1t does
it's work quietly and thoroughly and
gives permanent relief.
Thousands have testified to this
truth. One Of the latest signed :csti-
monials of local people Is that of
Mrs. John Wallace. a we'll known and
popular Portsmouth lady, residing at
No. IL Charming Avenue, who tells
how her husband was relieved of a
severe case OF stomach trouble by
Plant Juice. She says:
FOR years my husband has been a
sunerer from stomach trouble and
had tried all kinds of medicine and
was under treatment, but did not
get any better. He had no appetite
whatever and his stomach was so
weak that he had to exist on bread
and milk: his kidneys bothered him
a great deal and he had terrible pains
in his back; he was SO weak that at
times he would have to sit down
ana could not go out In the sun; he
finally got so bad that he was Obliged
to give up his work and he felt aw-
fully discouraged and blue; he could
rarely get good nights sleep. A
friend of ours advised my husband
TO try Plant Juice and we had read
OF the number Of our home peopIe
who had been cured by Plant Juice.
We are glad that we heard OF II,
for after taking IL for several weeks
the results have been wonderful be-
yond belief: my husband can now
eat anything, has no more trouble
with his kidneys and sleeps like
child; he has no moro pain and 1t is
perfectly wonderful how Plant Juice
has brought him back to health when
no thought there was absolutely no
hope. He Is able to work every day
and says that Plant Juice has made
a new man Of him--completely cured
him. We arc glad to have this OPP
portunity to let the public know what
Plant Juice did for my husband"
