Many Wilmington people are daily
testifying that they have regained
their health through the use OF
Plant Juice. Recently the signed
testimonial Of Mr.. Alfred II. Beale,
OF No. 312 North Union street, was
received. He tells how his wife was
restored to health as follows:
PLANT Juice proved a life-saver
10 my wife. She had been a physical
wreck for years and almost helpless;
she could hardly stand on her feet
she was 50 weak; she was consd-
pated. had headaches, dizzy spells
and was so nervous that she could
not sleep at night; she had pains in
her arms and limbs and could not
keep the hghtest kind of food in her
stomach. We had tried every medi-
cine under the SUM- so to speak,
but II did not relieve heri ana she
had just about given up all hope.
She had read and heard so much
about Plant Juice that we got a
bottle for her to try it. IL certainly
was a blessing to her for now she
is able to sleep the night through,
has a fine appetite, no more head
aches or pains and is not constipated

now. We would not be without a
bottle of Plant Juice in our home
and we cannot say enough in praise

properties Of uranium salt Radium
is the most powerful thing in the
world today. The energy rays are
so great that an ounce OF radium IN
a glass bottle would kill man in
ten minutes II he should carry 1t
about on his person. The power
locked up in one grain Of radium
could raise the Woolworth Building
in New York one hundred feet in air.
At present radium is very wastefully
used as an alluminant. The great
use to which radium has been put is
the curing Of cancers and tumors.
During the war radium was used in
deep scars to make the tissues grow.

may lecture to some OF the students
and professors. After Miss kelleys
