Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to Inform you of the great benefit I have derived from the use of your Plant Juice. As a tonic and builder It is unsurpassed, aa far as my personal knowledge Is con cerned. The mental strain of continued business pressure combined with months of travel, such as can only bu appreciated by those who are continu ally on the road and separated from family and friends, had told on my general health; I was completely run down, and also suffered a great deal from nervousness. I feel very thank ful to a friend of mine who suggested that I try Plant Juice. I am glad that I took his advice, for I am feeling In fine shape now. Yours respectfully, A. B. FURLONG." Nearly everyone needs a good tonic and system cleanser in the Spring. There are thousands of half-sick, tired, dragged-out people who are not sick enough to go to bed, yet are too sick to properly perform their work; they know something has gone wrong, but do not know what to do to remedy it. These are the people who need Plant Juice. As a tonic, invlgorator and vltalizer it has no equal. If you aro nervous, bilious, constipated, easily tired, have no appetite, sleep badly. and wake up feeling dull and sore in joints and muscles with no energy or ambition for the day's work, just try a bottle of Plant Juice. The results will please you. The Plant Juice man is at the Owl Drug Co. Store, Seventh and Washington streets. He will re fund your money if it floes not help you.
