Nothing helped my wife" Mr..
Tong continued. Her stomach was
just about played out. Any kind OF
food would cause her to have a bad
attack of gas in her stomach. She
used soda to relieve her for a while
but finally It got so she could not
even keep the soda on her stomach
but would throw IL up. She was
always constipated and her nerves
were so jerky that she could hardly
keep still.
"A friend OF mine recommended
Plant Juice and my wife decided to
try It. She began to improve on the

taking several bottles, she has a fine

Brownsville has spent $4,000
