The above is taken from a state
ment received few days ago from
Mrs. Annie Duffy, 1911 E st. ne,
who has resided in Washington all
her life. Continuing with her state
ment, she said: For some time had
been in a badly rundown condi-
ton. Food I ate did not agree with
me. I suffered all the time with
indigestion pains, and even at night
when went to bed could not sleep
or rest properly. Seems as though !
could not get my breath. Then,
too, I was always constipated; tried
all kinds of laxatives and used
about everything could hear of
without getting any results. AS I
said before, 1 used so many different
medicines without getting any re-
suits that I had my doubts about
Miller's Herb Extract: still I bought
one bottle and it proved to be just
the medicine for my trouble, and
now after taking short treatment
I feel better in every way than
have for years. No longer constl-
pated, stomach and gas pains are
gone and eat everything. In short,
this Herb Extract has done me more
good than anything have ever USED.

constipation and feel as though l
can safely recommend it to every
one" 1t is quick results every SUI
ferer wants, and Herb Extract brings
results over night, as thousands OF
statements, similar to the above, from
grateful users indicate. This re-
markable preparation contains herbs,
leaves and barks that promote gas
trio Juices that are necessary to reg
ulate bowel action and insure good
health. Hundreds are calling daily
to see the special representative di-
rect from the Herb Juice Medicine
Co, who has established headquar-
tiers at the Peoples Drug Store, sos
18th Street NV, to learn more OF
this great medicine that is bringing
health and happiness to so many
Washington citizens.
