 Admiral Sims has submitted the statement l asked him to give me" Mir. Denby said, "and I have read it. I cannot discuss any feature of it at this time. My final decision will be made public soon, probably to- morrow afternoon

 For years I have been a great sufferer with my stomach; I had in- digestion so bad that I could not keep the lightest kind of food in my stomach as it would ferment and cause gas to form; I had palpitatiou of the heart, dizzy spells, my liver was sluggish and l had bad bilious attacks; my kidneys were also af- fected and I had terrible pains in my back; I was always constipated and my system was full of malaria; felt very much discouraged and had no ambition or energy to do my work. I thought I would never be any better and went to West Vir- ginia to the springs, but did not re- ceive any benefit. I had heard so much about Plant Juice that I de- cided, as a last resort, to try 1t. am glad that I did, for it has made me well man today. I have a fine appetite, sleep well, and feel that can honestly recommend Plant Juice to anyone"
