Miss Lillian Mcmahon says: "To-Ni-Ta
Cured me of Catarrh."
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 10, 1903 .
Dear Doctor-For the past six years I
have suffered from Catarrh of the Head
and Bronchial Tubes, caught cold with
every change of the weather and suffereds
from intense headaches. Was under,
treatment six months in the year, but
with no permanent cure.
A friend asked me to try To-ni-ta. and
after taking half of the first bottle | felt
better than I had for several years. l
have now finished my second bottle ard
feel perfectly well and all trace of Ca
tarrh is gone.
i consider this remarkable, as I have al
ways felt no one could live in Pittsburgh
with the smoke and changeable climate
and not escape catarrh.
Take pleasure in recommending Toni
Ia. Gratefully yours.

On account of the rush of work on
the Delaware railroad in extending
the double track and other i'm
provements, many men are now en-
ployed on the railroad. Usually at
this time of the year nearly all the Sec
tion men are idle, but this year the
railroad company are hiring all the
men who offer their services.
