STAUNTON, Va, May 18—Walter Searson, prominent citizen of Steeles ‘Tavern community, is in the hospital ‘bedly injured, the result of being run over by an automobile Thursday after- noon while watching a ball game at Spottswood. A machine parked on a hillside, driven by a young woman who lost con- trol of it, started down hill in the path of where Mr. Searson was sitting, catch- ing him before he could get on his feet. One hip was broken and severe lacera- tions about the arms, legs and body. HEALTH BETTER THAN IN FOUR YEARS NO LONGER SUFFERS WITH STOMACH TROU- BLE OR RHEUMATIC PAINS Sinc 1925 T have been trying first one medicine then another for stom- ach_trouble, constipation and rheu- matic pains. When I bought Miller's Herb Extract I found the medicine that soon relieved me of my health troubles and I can recommend it to every one. MRS. T. C. PHILLIPS, ‘The above is taken from a state- ment received a few days ago from Mrs. T. C. Phillips, 608 Irving NW., who has been a resident of Wash- ington for the past 18 years. Con- tinuing she said: “Yes, I was in a bad shape when I began using this medicine. My feet, also hands, would swell and bloat at times and would tingle like they were asleep, and I was troubled also with rheu- matic pains, My right side pained me terribly. Stomach felt sore, was swollen and bloated. I was always constipated, food did not agree with me, in fact I could not eat sweets at all. But as bad as my condition seemed this medicine helped me from the start and a short treatment has made me feel like a different per- son.. I am no longer troubled with the pains in m{) side, stomach no longer swelis or bloats from gas, eat most everything I want, feet and hands do not swell as they did in the past, rheumatic pains are gone and for the first time in years I am not troubled with constipation. I am more than satisfled with the Herb Extract and recommend it to every one.” It is quick results every sufferer wants and Herb Extract brings re- sults overnight, as thousands of statements similar to the above from grateful users indicate. This re- markable preparation contains herbs, leaves apd bark that promote gastric juices that is necessary to regular bowel action and insures good health.
