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,

family and friends, had told on my
general health; I was completely run

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."
