“Tired and worn out, yet my nerves
would not let me rest or sleep; for
hours X would lay awake and when
morning came I would get up feeling
as tired as when I went to bed. For
months X stood this strain. Borne
things X used gave me a little relief
but most medicines seemed to lose
their effect in a short time and then
X would try something different. If
X tried to read there seemed to be
blade spots floating before my eyes
and X would have attacks of weak,
dimy spells. Due to chronic constipa
tion I was forced to use a strong
laxative but it seemed as though most
of the things I used only upset me
and X would feel worse than before
X used them; my stomach was terribly
upset, food would not digest, seemed
to lodge in the pit of my stomach
and lay there to sour and ferment;
gas that formed caused my stomach
to swell and Moat, the pains pressed
up around my chest and I felt miser
able. Beveral weeks ago X made up
my mind to try Miller’s Herb Extract
(formerly called Herb Juice) as so
many here in Washington claimed it
to be a wonderful remedy. I can
