Enthusiastic Words of Praise From Well Known Columbian
Who Says This Great Natural Medicine Has Helpej
Him More Than Anything
T
J. E. DENT
vou can not recommend xitKii
JUICE any too high to suit mo. It
is the best medicine that I ever
found. After twenty years of suf
fering I have at last found the
i right thing for me. I ani recom
mending it to every or.c who suf
fers as I did.
Such in part was the statement
of Mr. J. E. Dent well known Col
umbia painter of the Asylum Road.
Mr. Dent is widely known having
been for many years a prominent
figure in the outdoor show world
and is now employed by the Broad
River Power Co., and has in charge
the keeping of their equipment in
first class condition.
Contributing his statement Mr.
Dent, said, “For twenty years I
have suffered with constipation
and indigestion. In that time I have
spent enough money on different
kinds of medicines to buy a small
drugstore, but one and all they
were the same, relief tor a time
and then back to the old condition,
but here is one this HERB JUICE
known as Herb Extract that I have
tested out thoroughly and I can re
commend to anyone.
I used to suffer with headaches
dull, tired lazy feeling, get no good
out of my rest, go to bed to toss
and turn and rise more tired than
the night before.
My stomach bothered me so that
my food distressed me after eat
ing. I would bloat and have gas
pains until I scarcly dared to eat
anything and no master what I
tried my constipation and stomach
trouble kept getting worse.
Other little ailments began to
creep in, bladder trouble, pains in
the back and sometimes gidiness
with heart palpitations.
I was told that I had appendici
tis, liver trouble, must have my
teeth out and all sorts of things.
Now think that constipation was at
the bottom of all my trouble.
When I first heard of this great
Herb Extract known as HERB
JUICE I bought it for my wife. I
really had gotten where L would
n’t buy any more medicines for
myself because I had no faith in
them.
The HERB JUICE helped her so
much that I tried it myself and I
am here to tell you what it has
done for me.
It has so thoroughly overcome
my constipation that I no longer
fear that at all. Gas does not form
any more and my food docs not
distress me. I can lie down with
out any heart palpitations and I
.sleep and rest well. I believe that
I can cat anything I want without
danger and 1 feel fine.
I have my old ambition back and
feel like undertaking things just
as well as I did twenty years ago.
HERB JUICE has helped me
more than any other mediciue and
I take pleasure in recommending
to all who need a thorough system
cleanser. It is wopth while to give
it a fair trial.
If anyone needs to know what
HERB JUICE will do for them let
them ask me for it has helped me
more than anvthirg I ever took
and I am glad to recommend it.

Chicago Physician Holds Rum
Lengthens Life; Dry Cohorts
In Protest
Chicago.—Dr. Herman N. Cun
desen, official supervisor of the
health of Chicago’s three millions,
has issued a remarkable state
ment in which he declares that
light wines and beer are decidedly
beneficial beverages, that their
use wili prolong life and that
alcohol, under some conditions, is
a food.
Chicago’s three million didn’t
protest when their health commis
sioner came out last summer for
more and better sun baths and re
commended the trimming of all
bathing suits to the very minimum.
Neither did all of them protest
when Dr. Bur.desen went over
into the camp of the modifica
tionists.
But from the pulpits of the city
the name of Bundesen rang out in
tones of denunciation. As soon as
the word got around that Bunde
sen had endorsed liquor, no less
than a dozen ministers revised
their sermons to criticise the health
commissioner’s bold statement.
Representatives of the Anti
Saloon league and the W. C. T. U.
dismissed the suggestion as “ab
surd.”
Chicago and Illinois are too
wrapped up in the prohibition ques
tion as an issue in the November j
elections to construe the state
ment? as anything short of a “poli
tical maneuver.” One of the minis
ters described it just that way.
Dr. Bundesen, nationally known ^
as a health authority, says he is- j
sued the statement because he be- |
lieved the public had a right to |
know*the truth about alcohol.
“It is a matter of public health '
and not of morals,” the commis-1
sioner said.
Here are the highlights of the j
statement which Bur.desen issued j
under the caption, “how light
wines and beer may reduce the
number of biers.”
“The moderate drinker has a bet- |
ter chance to live a long life than i
the drunkard or the total ah- j
stainer.”
“I have studied the matter for j
months and have reached my con- j
elusions as an unbiased medical ,
observer.
Moderate drinking requires prop
crly prepared beverages produced
under properly controlled condi
tions. Made this way they are
often ns important to health und
longevity as any other food.
“Ary man who drinks moon
shine is taking his otvn life in his
i hands. I would like to see Chicago
as free of bootleg liquor as it is of
bootleg milk.
“The so-called ‘simple home
tests’ for determining whether
booze ispoison are plain bunk.”
“All talk about safe pre-war
liquor, generally speaking, is fic
tion.”
HELP DOESN'T
(TUCK SCIENCE
Nashville, Tenn.—An assem
1 blage of students was told here in
an address by the Rt. Rev. and the
Rt. lion. Arthur Foley Winning
ton-Ingram, Bishop of London, that
science and religion do not con
flict.
The Lord Bishop declared that he
; believed in the evolution of the
| body of man and that God made
I man above the animal by adding a
j soul.
j ‘“The miracles of Christ,” said
the Lord Bishop, “trouble korne.
They doubt them. I do not doubt
one of them. I should have been
surprised if the Son of Man had
] not come to earth through super
! natural birth. I should have been
surprised if he had not worked
miracles. I accept them in full.”
There is no conlict, asserted the
Lord Bishop, between the church
and the Bible. “The church inter
prets the Bible, and brings it to
j the people in the way in which
Christ instructed. His disciples to
carry the gospel to the World.
He declared thnt Christ did not
do all the miracles He could. The
“igr.ificance of the sacrament, said
the Bishop, rests with the person
performing it and furnished a per-,
sonal contact »viih God.
"As I look around the world,”
he said, “I see that the world as a
whole today is agreed that the ac
ceptance of the Christian gospel is
its only salvation.”
The young people of America,
c.sid the Lord Bishop are not stray
ing away from Christ.
“In my contacts with student
life,” he said, “I have found that
the young people or America are
now experiencing that stage of life
in which they have a desire to
thresh out questions. They are not
straying away from Christianity.
They are merely thrashing it out
for themselves, as if they think
each man must by a colossus up
holding the mountain of truth.”
The Bishop left at midnight for
Sewanee, Tenn., where he plans to
spend three days addressing and

PILOT MOUNTAIN NORTH CAROLINA

THE PILOT
The Pilot was the first life insurance com
pany in the country to offer free annual
health examination to its policyholders.
Every month scores of examinations are be
ing made, resulting in improved health and
rot infrequently actually saving lives.
Buying life insurance is really an important
matter, and before deciding on a policy or a
company be sure that you are taking the right
policy with the company that is in the best
position to do most for you.
For years the Pilot Life Insurance Company
has been able to furnish such life insurance
service to the people of North Carolina as
would naturally make them prefer the Pilot
to any other company
