R. East, United States Dep- uty Marchal of 1411 Per Place N. W. has been & resident of Wash- ington for 25 years and is well known to hundreds throughout the city. His remarkable statement regarding MILLERS HERB EXTRACT is but further proof that it is a medicine of exceptional merits. Mr. T. R. EAST. In telling of his condition prior to using it, Mr. East said, “I must admit that I was surprised at the action of this medicine. 1In fact I could hardly realize that it had Telieved me of the trouble I had had for two years. My stomach was in a terrible condition, there were times when I could not retain the food I had eaten. Often after going to bed I would get deathly sick and vemit up everything I had eaten for din- aer. The pains in my chest and also around the heart smothered me. My legs felt weak and at night I would wake up in & nervous sweat. I would get up with a bad taste in my mouth, tongue was coated and I was chron- ically constipated. The medicine I used gave me no relief to speak of. I was continually belching up a sour bile and my stomach seemed to be full of gas. I saw so much in the papers about MILLERS HERB EX- TRACT that I made up my mind to give it a trial and I must admit it proved to be even better than I ex- pected. I have not had any of those sick spells since I began using this medicine. Food I eat now agrees with_me, bowels move more regular and 1 sleep sound at night. In short, I feel better in every way than I || have for a long time and I don't hesitate to give this medicine full 2redit for the wonderful improvement in my health, MILLERS HERB EX- TRACT is_worthy of the highest praise and I for one can recommend it very highly.” You don't need any pills with this medicine; it is & real medicine within itself, and guaranteed to give results. A medicine you can take three or four bottles without seeing any results is not much medicine.
