TELLS THESTORY
Is Anxious to Relate How
Plant Juice Helped Him
self and Wife
THEY BOTH ARE NOW
IN SPLENDID HEALTH

Plant Juice. the new herbal stom-
ach medicine, brings relief in cases
OF stomach. liver, kidney troubles
and rheumatism, because it literally
cleans out the food tracts which
have become cloEged, gets the di-
gestive organs regular. causing them
to perform their proper functions.
Not a day passes but what state
ments are received from local peo-
pie, telling OF the wonderful bene-
fit they have received from Plant
Juice.
One Of the most recent is that Of
Mr. James V. isher. of No. 1O6
Washington street, who has many
friends in Wilmington as he has
lived here for number OF years.
He said:
Il am not only willing but anx-
ious to tell about what Plant Juice
did for me after I had suffered for
years and sought relief in all kinds
OF medicine which did me no perma-
nent good and also for my wife who
had suffered with stomach trouble
for many years. She was a COM
plete nervous wreck and her stom-
ach was in a terrible condition: she
could not take any solid food into Il.
and she was terribly bloated with
gas and in constant pain; she had
headaches, dizzy spells, and was so
nervous that she never could sleep
az night; she was constipated. had
dizzy spells and catarrh OF the head
We had about given up all hope OF
her ever being any better urtil a
friend told US of a case just as bad
as hers which had been cured by
Plant Juice. Since my wife has
taken Plant Juice she looks and
feels like another woman; she has
good appetite for her meals, is
not nervous any more and sleeps fine
at night; she is not troubled with
catarrh any more and is never con-
stipated. When I saw how much
good Plant Juice did for her I start
ed to take it with the same good
results. We both Join in praise Of
Plant Juice for it has restored us to
health"
The Plant Juice man is at the
Miller Drug Store. 4O4-406 Market
street, Wilmington, where he is
daily meeting the local public and
introducing and explaining the

WRAP GARBAGE
in NEWSPAPER
Board Of Health Urges
DRY System" to Save
Expense
REFLECT HANDY
NEW PRESIDENT

Tho Board OF Health yesterday
afternoon approved the suggestion
OF President Handy that household
ers be requested to wrap garbage in
newspapers, after thoroughly drain
ing it, and thus help reduce the
operating expenses OF the crematory.
This dry garbage method. it was
stated by DR.. Handy, has been tried
out in other cities and has been
found quite helpful as well as more
economical.
The board. which was a unit in
favor Of the plan, believes that IL the
public will follow this suggestion the
city can save several thousand dollars
annually on coal bills for the incin-
orator. The dry garbage wrapped
in paper would be easily infiamable
and after it began to burn would
need little or no fuel to completely
destroy It.
With the wet garbage as it is now
received at the plant a strong fire is
necessary to destroy it. Several tons
OF coal are used for this purpose
every day. 1T is of great importance
to the public that every step be taken
that will insure economy" DR.. Handy
said, IF housekeepers will follow this
plan, it will save them as taxpayers
several thousand dollars a year" he
added.
The board received complaint
from residents OF Rose Hill. a suburb
OF this city, complaining about the
destruction Of their crops and lawns
alleged to have resulted from chemi-
cal flakes from the Pyrites CO. Ltd,
plant, located nearby. As the board
has no authority outside the city linn
/ Its, the communication was referred
to the State Board OF Health.
Albert f. Hayman, treasurer OF the
board, called attention to several un-
I slightly lots in the vicinity Of Twenty
seventh and Washington streets
where there are numerous ponds
| filled with stagnant water. The board
adopted a motion calling on the own
ers of the propertiesNto take immed-
/ late steps to remedy the condition.
The board unanimously reelected
/ for the ensuing year the following
officers: President, DR.. Charles VI.
Handy; Treasurer. Albert F. Hay
man; Secretary. Howard r. Frantz,
and City Physician, DIR. George r.
Foulk.
The newly elected board reap
pointed the present office force and
executive officers. Speaking OF the
work OF the executive officers. DR..
] Handy stated that reports he had re-
ceived from all sections Of the city
/ indicated that they we're giving care
/ ful attention to their work. I'VE
have not had a single complaint OF
neglect on their part during the
year" DIR. Handy said.
Dr. Handy thanked tho board for
its good wishes in re-electlng him
president and said that much had
been accomplished during the year in
spite Of many difficulties.

NEWARK, May 1s.-Joseph Nc
Farlin and James A. McKelvey prop
rietor of the Deer Park Hotel are
joint owners Of a flock Of q Wyan-
dotte hens that produced 1871 eggs
from March 4 to May 4. inclusive.
Mr.. McFarlin who has charge OF this
flock OF hens chanllenges any poul-
tryman in Delaware to show as good
a record for the same number Of
hens. During this time two of the
hens hatched and raised a brood of
chickens and three others were set
ting some days before May 4. There
were many days during the two
months that they laid % to 25 eggs
a day and the average was slightly
over II. Another remarkable in
cident in connection with this great
record is the fact that the flock OF
hens were moved during the time
the record was made. When Mr..
McFarlin started to keep count of
the eggs laid each day the flock was
at Kemblesville and about a month
later they were moved to Newark.
