with my stomach. II seemed that

would just lay in my stomach and
ferment, causing gas to form which
would work up around my heart
and make II pound and palpitate.
I was always constipated and often
had dizzy spells and hot flashes fire.
quently came over me. My kidneys
were out Of order and had to get
up three or four times every night
and in addition my nerves were out
of order and kept me from getting
my rest. 1 had pains in my back
and shooting pains all over my body
At this point in the interview,
Mr.. w. A. Boyd took up the con-
versation and said:
when 1 listen to my brother
tell about his ailments It seems as
though he is describing my own
case because our ailments were very
similar. Plant Juice has done both
of us a world of good We do not
suffer now from bowel trouble and
our livers and kidneys work prop
erly. Our nerves are quieted so
that we sleep well and we each have
a fine appetite and can eat anything
without bad after effects. Both of us
feel better in every way and have

says a report from the Ford Motor
Company, Detroit, and have reces.
STATED the building of l0l,l64
Ford cars and trucks IN April in or.
der to meet the requirements.
This is the largest output of Ford
cars ever scheduled for April, being
10, O00 above the same month of a
year ago. 1t also marks an early
opening of the spring and summer
buying and seems to indicate that
even more Ford cars and trucks will
be sold in 1929 than IN 1921, which
was a banner year.
Orders tor Ford cars and trucks
have already exceeded the supply IN
many parts of the country and pur-
chasers are finding 1t necessary to
accept deferred delivery. The Ford
factory at Detroit Is getting into
capacity production as iast as pos.
slole, with the hope of preventing
similar shortage when tse spring.
summer rush begins.
Ford dealers throughout the Unit
ed States are urging Ford customers
to place their orders early and thus
prevent the possibility OF having to
wait for delivery.
