 An extraordinary statement was re- gently made in an interview with MT. William Brodie of No 429 Twenty y-ninth street, Wylam, Ala, coal miner by oc- cupation and prominent in local labor years and who has a wide acquaintance. MT. Brodie has been working in the mines for the past 60 years and is man of the utmost honor and integrity. He said:
 For the past 12 years I have had stomach trouble; I had indigestion so bad that I could not keep any solid food in my stomach, as 1t would ferment and cause gas to form; I felt so weak and miserable that I was practically down and out I could not sleep, was very nervous, was bloated with gas which pressed under my heart and I would have terrible palpitation, was short of breath and was so weak that could not raise my hand to take cup of tea. I could not walk four weeks ago, was so bad, and had to quit my job; I was badly constipated and had tried ever so many different medicines without any benefit. Finally I thought I would try bottle of Plant Juice and this bottle gave me so much relief that I continued to take 1t until now I am able to eat all kinds of food sleep well and am not consti- pated any more. Plant Juice has put me on my feet again and I am able to go back to my work. I cannot say too much in praise of this medicine"
