CAN NOW EAT BEANS.
A Manchester Man Gets Rid
of an Old Time Enemy.
He Fought It For Ten Long
Years In Vain.
Ex-Rep. John Eaton Gives the
Facts In the Case.
From the Manchester, N. H.. Mirror.

John Eaton, whose store is at 1869 Elm
street, has been in the cigar business in
Manchester for over eight years. Dur
ing the war he served in the Second New
Hampshire Regiment. and also in the
Fourth Regiment. A few years ago his
citizens showed their respect for
him by sending him as representative
to the State Legislature. Not only the
personal friends of Mr. Eaton, but many
Of his business neighbors, know what a
sufferer he has been for many years past
and by what an effort he remained in act
i've life. A few months ago his condition
was SO serious that it was even thought
that he was going to die. His face
showed the signs of the digestive trouble
which seemed to be beyond the. reach of
human aid. II .nolisX
Today he not only looks, but is a
healthy, robust man, and he does not hesi
tate to explain how SO great change
was brought about. Here is his state
ment:
For 10 years I suffered as much as
anyone can suffer and still be on his feet.
The trouble was that gas formed in nv
stomach, and nothing could do would
relieve it. There were many kinds of
food I could not eat at all, and even with
careful diet could not escape pain.
Sometimes a glass Of water would be
more than I could bear. The stomach
trouble caused nervousness and such dis
tress at night that sometimes I would
walk the floor for hours before could go
to sleep.
II went to some Of the best doctors In
Manchester, but they could not help my
stomach. I tried taking bismuth after
my meals, but even that did no good.
Then I tried great many other things.
but they all failed. Hardly a week
passed that I was not driven to make
some new experiment. although it
seemed a hopeless case.
Zone day. some weeks ago, when I
was feeling especially miserable. a
friend suggested that try Puritana,
and he at once went out and got me
bottle. AS soon as took the first dose
felt that it was doing me good. And it
did.
"It removed the stomach trouble COM
pletely. I am no longer troubled with
the gas, and can eat and sleep as well
as any man. For years could not eat
baked beans, although am very fond
of them. Since taking Puritana I can
eat beans or any other food that want.
Last summer I only weighed 121
pounds. Now weigh over no. and am
still gaining at the rate Of a pound
week. am heavier today than I ever
was before, in spite Of the fact that am
closely confined at my store from early
in the morning until late at night. I
have told a number of people what Puri-
tana has done for me, and find that it
is helping them in the same way. These
are the facts in my case in a nutshell
