past 50 years. and nil Of my friends
know how my wife has been a suf-
ferer from stomach trouble, consti-
patton and with pains across her chest
and back. She had become so bad
that her health was practically
wrecked.
I'VE had tried worlds of medicine
and even sent to other States for
treatment in the vain hope that she
would get relief. but invariably they
failed to give her any real help.
We had been reading where num-
hers OF people throughout Virginia
had been brought back to health by
Plant Juice, and we decided to at
least try 1t. I brought her home a
bottle and 1t helped her almost at
once.
"She has now taken 4 bottles of
Plant Juice in all. and l can honestly
state that 1t has done her a world Of
good, and she is now like a new wo-
man. The swelling has gone from
her stomach and the pains have en-
tirely gone. She can eat anything
she wants.
Before my wife took your medi-
cine she was unable to kneel down to
say her prayers. and had not been
down town for months. but now In the
last week she COMBS down to the mar
ket, can bend over. and even climb
the stairs without the lcnst pain.
I'VE both feel that we cannot say
too much In praise of Plant Juice,
and are glad TO recommend II to any
ono who Is suffering the same as my
wife was. She Is So years old and
now looks like different person,
thanks to Plant Juice"
