Mr. Albert Timlick, of Cantrall, 111., who was a great sufferer from indigestion, loss of appetite, pains, bloating, belching and other common symptoms of a badly deranged stomach, tells this story of his experience: "My condition was such that I could not keep down a glass of water, I had suffered for two years and tried many kinds of medicines .vithout benefit. I was almost dead one evening, when I sent for a bottle of the Root Juice and felt better as soon as I had taken three or four doses. I kept on using it and now I can keep an37thing on my stomach. Root Juice has don(^ wonders for me." ^ Mr. D. P. Kerr, of Bellefontsine, O., tells the following story of his experience with the medicine: . * "I was the victim of severe stomach and kidney trouble and grew weak, thin and nervous from the long and continuous suffering. Most of the time I could digest my food. I would get up in the morning with a headache and so weak I could scarcely dress myself. I frequently had billions spells coated tongue, bad taste in lAy mouth and smothering sensation. My kidneys would act often but very scant and painful." "I spent many dollars for medicines and treatment but could not even get relief. When this new medicine, Root Juice, became known here, I was one of the first to get it. Before long I noticed an improvement, I am on my fourth bottle now and feel much better in everv way. My appetite is good, I sleep well, 1 eat what I want and digest my food. The soreness has gone from my stomach and my kidneys no longer give me any trouble. I am free from headaches, am gaining in strength and have gained in weigh t." Others who have used it for rheumatism say that its effect is marvelous and that after taking it a short time the pain and soreness vanish. The stiffness goes and the swelling soon disappears, the joints and limbs become limber and strong and the general health improves. i Local druggists ca now supply the Root Juice in three quarter pint bottles at only one dollar each.
