Winston-Salem Stone Mason Got Surprise - Says he had been in poor health for years, but is now healthy, happy and physcially fit for his duties through use of Nature's Tonic-Laxative, herb extract, formerly called Herb Juice:
At the present time I have no cause for complaint, but it has not always been so with me. Several months ago I felt as though I would be forced to give up my work on account of my weakened condition, but am happy to say that through the use of the great Herbal Remedy I am physically fit once more for my duties.
This in part was the gratifying statement received a few weeks ago by the special representative of the famous medicine by Mr. J. W. McGee, well-known and efficient stone mason, who resides at 2415 Claremont Ave., Winston-Salem, NC.
Continuing with his statement of his condition before he used this medicine, Mr. McGee said: "Your Herb Extract certainly gave me a great surprise, in that it has restored my health after everything else which I tried utterly failed to help me.
For the past few years I have suffered perhaps more that I can tell you from constipation and indigestion. It just seemed that everything was wrong with me, for I hardly ever saw a well day and felt miserable most all of the time. Due to my constipation, I never had any energy to do anything. My appetite was very poor, bowels would not act unless I took some strong purgative almost every night which kept my system all upset and everything I ate would hurt me. I was losing in weight and strength everyday, and was so extremely nervous at night that it was impossible for me to get my rest and sleep - I used everything that was suggested to me for my ailments, yet without avail until I started on your great remedy, Herb Extract, formerly called Herb Juice. On the second day I could tell it was helping me as no other medicine had ever helped me, and I continued taking it regularly until I was entirely relieved of the constipation. Bowels were regulated so well and my whole system put in such splendid condition that I can eat most anything I want now, and it does not hurt me in the least.
Herb Extract, formerly known as Herb Juice, certainly worked wonders for me and I am sure it will help anyone if they will only give it a fair trail.
It is the one medicine that I expect to keep in my home and will never miss a chance to recommend it to others, for I know from experience that it will do for all it is recommended to do, and give entire satisfaction in every respect.
I have used three bottles and consider that it is the best there is.
Hundreds of people are calling to see the special Herb Juice Company's Representative at his head quarters at O'Hanlon's Drug Store voluntarily giving testimonial statements for publication, praising this great medicine that their friends may read and profit by their experiences. This great Herbal Extract remedy formerly known as Herb Juice proved beneficial to over a million last year. It's regular use insures health.-(Adv)
