made my breath so foul that 1 did
not like TO be near anybody. ! also
suffered from a terrible nervous con-
dition so that 1 could not sleep at
night and often through the day
had such dizzy spells that I could
hardly sit or stand up. couldn't
eat right and simply had pains all
through my body.
ct read about your Plant Juice
and finally ! started taking II and
will say that It worked wonders for
me. That buzzing sound has left
my ears and the catarrh is improved
go much that my throat does not MI
up anymore. I can now eat and.
sleep fine; the pains have left my
body and, to tell the truth, I feel like
a different woman. I surely want TO
recommend your Plant Juice to the
public for It is a wonderful medi-
cine"
Said The Plant Juice Man: "ca-
tarrh IS a terrible thing. It should
not be considered lightly. In the

air passages OF the nose and throat; |
there are awful headaches. the eyes |
grow weak and, eventually, the ca

Sidney Blackmer
Sees the Rise of
A Native Drama

natiVe drama, rejecting Amer

intellectual, political and social char
acter, is gradually taking form in New
York. 1t may be satirical, it may con-
vey a blend of wholesome sentiment
and light comedy, it may even have it's
tragic notes, but, in all events, it is
here"
Such is the opinion of Sidney Black
mer, who is appearing in "The Noun
tain Man at Maxine Ellott's Theatcr.
Mr.. Blackmer believes that despite the
considerable foreign representation on
the New York stage this season Amer
ican drama was never in 8 healthier
or more progressive state.
George Ade might be called the
pioneer of native social satire" said
Mr.. Blackmer. "He caught the spirit
of American political life and trans
ferred it humorously to the theater in

Just as it seemed as if he were going

Over The Hill
A PhOtoplay For Young and Old
Thrills, Tears and Laughter

One Of the greatest film plays that
has achieved success before the Anne
rican public will be presented at the
Richmond tonight, tomorrow night,
and Wednesday. The play is adapted
from Will Cartoons famous poem OF
the same name, and has touched the
American heart as deeply and as pro-
foundly as ever did its prototype in
verse. Al one time the poetry Of
Carleton appeared in every news
paper, was recited on every platform,
and was pasted in every scrap-bool
in the land. Treating Of the homely
subjects Of everyday life, its simph-
city of language, its artleSs and I'M
adorned versification, played upon the
chords of feeling common to all hui
mainly and rendered its author the
best-loycd and most popular poet in
the country.

prevail in the play, and grip the at
