our United States Census Bureau has

interesting figures which show that

instance. in 1910. there were 1896
deaths among every 100000 people

"The little girl had been troubled
with her bowels since birth" Mr.
Johnson continued. "They would
not move unless forced with oil
She got so she had no appetite, was
very pale and slender. a regular
aenemic. She was so nervous that
she could not sit still and she rolled
and tumhled and jerxed in her sleep.
You can see for yourself what a
Wonderful change Plant Juice made
In her. She seems like a different
child. Her bowels are regular now
and she simply eats like a trooper.
Her nerves are quieted so that she
sleeps soundly She has color in her
checks.
Constipation was one OF my
troubles also. My liver was very
inactive and I had headaches CON
tinually. / had no ambition what
ever and just dragged myself to
work. My stomach was badly dis
ordered so that 1 had to be very
careful about what ate and couldn't
eat any kind OF greasy foods or
desserts. But l think the worst
thing was my rheumatism. Pains
would shoot from my shoulders to
my elbows and then back again.
plant Juice has changed all OF
this The rheumatic pains have dis
appeared. Ny bowels are regular
and my liver and kidneys act prop
erly. The headaches are gone. ]
