PRAISING | MILLER’S HERB EXTRACT Today’s Statement Given by Mrs. James Blankenship, 2400 Nichols : Ave. S.E. My husband used Miller's Herb | Extract (formerly called Herb Juice) | before I did. He was 50 pleased with | |the improvement it made in his |1t also. Two bottles made me feel | |like & new woman, and I now join | | him in saying it is the one and only || remedy for gas, indigestion and a general upset system. Before I used this medicine I suffered continually with my stomach, food would sour, | liver was out of order, nerves upset | and I could not rest even at night. || Many mornings I would force myself | %o get up only to have those sick, | '| @izzy feelings come over me and I could not stay up, laxatives I used | failed to carry off the poison waste and my system was full of poison. ‘This Herb Extract helped me from | the first. and by regulating the bowels, liver and eliminating the body poison, has made me feel like a different person. I no longer have those sick, dizzy feelings, stomach is in good condition, enjoy everything I eat and that old, tired, worn-out feeling is a thing of the past with me. I was so well pleased with this .|| medicine that I wrote to relatives in | California about it, also recom- mended it to a number of friends bere at home and praise Miller's | Herb Extract wherever I go. This great medicine is an_ herbal ration (formerly called Herb | uice), and is the largest selling icine on the market where it is $2,496,020 on the open market, has re- ceived $770,000 as her share from the sale of the firm under an order signed in Brooklyn Supreme Court.

Davis, who is now serving a sentence of 10 to 20 years in Sing Sing Prison for manslaughte; Arrested in 1921 on a charge of kil ing a detective, Davis was adjudged in- sane.

Mrs. Davis took over her husband's company when he first was imprisoned. She was an excellent business woman. The firm prospered and grew.
