MR. 7. H MOONEY

The above as taken from the
statement of Mr.. j. H. Mooney,
IL Virginia Avenue. Clarendon,
Va, continuing with his state
ment Mr.. Mooney, who is widely
know in this section, said: y
saw SO many statements in the
papers about this medicine that I
made up my mind a few weeks
ago to try it out myself, as other
medicines 7 used did not help me
at all. My stomach was in a
bad shape, food would not digest,
but instead lay in the stomach
to sour and ferment; gas formed,
seemed like a lump in the pit of
the stomach and I suffered al
most constant pain from one
meal to another. I was very
nervous and at night I would roll
and toss for hours, unable to
sleep or rest. Then, too. I was
always constipated, in fact the
bowels would not move unless I
used a strong laxative. I always
felt tired, sluggish, worn out and
some days my stomach hurt so I
could hardly work. When I
started with this Herb Extract I
noticed that the first few doses
had a soothing effect on the
stomach; also caused a natural
action of the bowels and before
I had used all Of the first bottle
I felt better in every way. The
continued use Of this medicine
has completely relieved me of all
my former health troubles and
must admit it is the greatest
ever; food now agrees with me,
no more stomach disorders. I
sleep sound at night, get up feel
ing rested and ready for hard
days work. Miller's Herb Extract
formerly called Herb juice,
brings quick relief, where other
medicines fail and I do not hest
tate in recommending it to every
one for the above trouble"
This great medicine is a herbal
preparation formerly called Herb
juice, and is the largest selling
medicine on the market where it
is known. Owing to the great
demand 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 st. N. W., 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.
