WORTH $1,000 A BOTTLE
IS VALUE CHATTANOOGA m
PLACES ON VIM HEPATiCA
■ ■■ --—
"I wouldn’t take $1,000 for what on#
bottle of Vin Hepatica has done for
me,” says Mr. L. A. Cantrell, aged 75,
chair worker of Miller avenue, Chatta
nooga, Tenn.
“It is worth $1,000 a bottle. I have
been troubled with kidneys for years. I
catarrh of the head and stomach.
After eating a few bites my stomach
would swell up like a pumpkin. I had
the cramps, was ftuxy, had to be up al
most every hour of the night on ac
count of the condition of my bowels.
“But Vin Hepatica has changed all
that. I don’t have to get up at all in
the night. 1 now eat potatoes, beans,
onions—anything. 1 had about decided
t could not nor would not live another
week, but after 1 saw in the papers
what Vin Hepatica had done for others
In the same fix. 1 thought I would try j
It and now feel better than 1 have felt
in forty years. Have put in 2\^ days
solid work this week and am going to j
start In for full time Monday. |
W. E. Bevens and R. D. Brown Drug
“I have passed my 75th year and I
could not have held up much longer
the way 1 was troubled. But Vin He
pat.ica was certainly a life-saver to me
and I heartily recommend it to my
friends.”
The fact fs, Y!n TTepatica is a Na
ture medicine and not a patent nos
trum. It is a combination of eight of i
the finest herbal remedies known to •
medical science, remedies which are !
prescribed nearly every day by the
leading physicians of the world, and ;
they are all combined into one great ;
Nature medicine for the kidneys, liver,
stomach and bowels, and for toning up
the system. Nothing is finer for any
one who is troubled with the stomach
or weak and run down condition.
We strongly recommend this great
Nature remedy. Come and get a butt e
and try it, on our recommendati. n
You will like it and it will do you good.
