She IS NOW LIKE
DIFFERENT PERSON
Marshallton Lady Is Bright
and Cheerful Since Taking
Plant Juice.

1--WE never tire of telling about Plant
Juice at our house because this remedy
has made n well woman of my wife, z"
said Mr. Hezekiah H. Blake, of Marshall
ton, Del, in recent interview with
The Plant Juice Man ut Wilmington.
"My wife was victim of one of the
influenza epidemics two or three years
ago and had been in very poor state of
health ever since. She did not have
any appetite and If she did take food
into her stomach she would suffer terri
bic distress afterwsrd. Her nerves were
in terrible condition. Some times she
would shake like a leaf and il was inn
possible for her to sleep soundly. Her
liver, kidneys and bowels were all out of
order. And besides AL this she contracted
bad case of grippe and il just looked
to us like her case WAS hopeless
"A good friend brought my wife n
bottle Of Plant Juice and begged her
20 try il because she said it had done
wonders in her own case. My wife
began to improve almost right away
and after that il was astonishing the way
she grew better She now has a splendid
appetite; does not suffer from indiges-
ton; liver and kidneys are working fine
and it seems that her entire nervous
system has been strengthened. She
is able to sleep soundly now all through
the night She really looks like n
different woman with fine, now color in
her face and new flesh on her body and
she SAYS she feels like one, too, and is
bright and cheerful oil the time now. "
Plant Juice has accomplished amaz-
ing results in many cases as n builder
and strcng,hener after influenza No
doubt this is due to the fact that Plant
Juice is natural remedy, made from
juices extracted from plant life, which
medicine.
Plant Juice is sold in Wilmington at
The Miller Drug Store, 404-i06 Market
street; in New Castle by +. Challenger
