Mr.. Donovan now resides at
$50 N Street Southwest. He is
known to people from all walks
of life throughout the city, and
his statement regarding this medl-
cine should be of special interest
to his many friends. He said:
MY SiSter-in-laW told my wife and
about Miller'S Herb Extract
formerly called Herb juice. She
praised it so highly, I must ad
NIT I was rather doubtful about
it, as I did not think a medicine
could do all she said this one
would do. Still. I had noticed
lots Of other statements in the
papers, so I said to my wife:
Well, l will try one bottle. at
least, and see if it has any effect
on my old ailments I had a
great deal of trouble with my
stomach; food would not digest
properly, bowels we're out of
order, I felt tired, sluggish and
seemed to be in a rundown Condi-
ton. OF late I had also been
troubled with rheumatic pains in
| the shoulders. This medicine
seemed to just fit my case, and as
a general system cleanser and
builder it beats anything I have
ever used; regulates the bowels,
wakes up a sluggish liver, elm
mates the body poison and makes
a person feel better in every
way, also relieved the pains in my
shoulders; in fact made me feel
better in every way. My wife also
uses Miller'S Herb Extract and
in her case it has also proven to
be satisfactory in every way. l
never expected to give a state
ment of this kind, but this is one
medicine worthy of any ones
praise, and I think it is only fair
to it to say to others who may
want to give it a trial that it is
one medicine that has proven III
every way to be just as recon-
mended."
This great medicine is an herbal
preparation formerly called Herb
Juice, and is the largest selling
medicine on the market, where it
is known. Owing to the great de
mand for Miller'S Herb Extract in
Washington it was necessary to
place two representatives here.
These men are located at Store
No. 2, sos Seventh Street North
west, and Store No. 9, Thirty-firSt
and NJ Streets Georgetown, Of
the Peoples Drug Stores. where
they are explaining this medicine
TO the hundreds that call.

REYNOLDS BEGINS
 ] MONTHS IN JAIL
Millionaire Finds Early Rising and Work Awaiting Him

London, Aug. 1 (uP)-Richar1 J, Reynolds, young millionaire scion of the American tobacco family was taken today to Wormwood Scrubbs prison to serve the five months to which he was sentenced yesterday in Old Bailey court upon conviction on a charge of man. slaughter. His automobile struck and killed Arthur Graham. motor = cyclist. on the Bath road last May.
 In London Suburb
 Wormwood Scrubbs prison is in I northwest suburb of London. It is the prison to which first offenders are sent.
 Norman Birkitt, attorney for young Reynolds, said today that the verdict and sentence would not be appealed for two reasons. In the first place the legal proceedings necessary to obtain the appeal would consume most of the five months, all of which time Reynolds would have to remain in jail any how. In the second place there IS the possibility that the court of ap- peals might increase the sentence.
 Reynolds finds his routine as Il prisoner in the second division'- the classification of those never be- fore convicted of a crime-consid- erably different from the style in which he has been accustomed to living as a popular young American millionaire here. He must rise II a. m. whether he feels like getting up or not.
 ss Must Clean Own Cell
 After undergoing the daily physi- cal training drill which is a feature of the life of all convicts at the Wormwood Scrubbs, he must clean his cell and the utensils in it, make his bed and help sweep the yard.
