Herb Juice contains a marvellous combination of Ma ture ingredients that aid in producing the most important clements of the blood building it up until it is rich and red; thus aiding nutrition and revltalizinE every nerve and cell. then the whole body Is re- stored to a healthy. normal condition. If you are pale. weak and thin-look hag- gard with sunken cheeks, dull eyes feel depressed, have appeitite. no energy, then you should take Herb Juice, Natures greatest system-builder according to di- rection. and you should have in few weeks time a degree of health, strength and energy such as you have never known before. Herb Juice acts on the organs of elimination; cleans out the system, re- vitalizes the blood, gives you a rosy com plexion and healthy appearance.
