Several years ago I commenced to have stomach trouble and it gradually
 grew worse. I became so bad that l

suffered pain all through my body. My food fermented and formed gas, which caused bloating and was very painful. I lost 37 pounds in weight in two years and was steadily growing worse. I was nervous and many nights I would not get a wink of sleep. Recently I suffered great pain around my heart. I had used so many different kinds of medicine without relief that was dis couraged and to even look at spoon would make me sick at my stomach. I have used Plant Juice for just a short time now and no one can imagine the benefit have had in that. time. I can now eat what 1 want and the pain through my body and around my heart has entirely disappeared. I am recom- mending Plant Juice to /all of my friends"
