"You see," said she in her naive manner,
"my long and tedious illness made sad in
roads on my vitality and strength, and when
first caught glimpse of myself in the mir
ror did not wonder that my friends were
alarmed and thought my dayswere numbered.
OF course ] lost flesh from the consuming
fever, and my nervous system was almost
wreck, SO that when l commenced to recover
it became necessary for me to take strong
tonic Notwithstanding that would bulld
up my wasted and shattered condition. at
this time friend told me of the great heal
ing and vitalizing powers of TO-Nl-TA, the
new and wonderful Mucous Membrane Bit
tiers discovered by. DR.. Lorentz, and with the
approval of my own physician, DR.. Henry
w. Frauenthal commenced to take it. l
must say that from the very start it gave me
fresh vigor and vitality and acted like magic
in bringing me back to health and strength.
1t contains some latent and subtle power,
and its nourishing, vitalizing and healing
qualities are really miraculous. When got
on my feet I soon became tired and exhaust
ed, and before starting for the theatre al
ways took some of my beloved TO-Nl-TA, as
it inspired me instantly with courage and
strength, and l had no difficulty in going
through the performance.
| have seen TO-NI-TA perform miracles.
| recall an occasion when | was playing at
the Circle Theatre, New York. Among the
specialties was thrilling act by Miss Adjie,
bn0 ion DdlIleE, WHO WSHU through ouCh 10
daring and blood-freezng performance with
the animals while in the cage. Well, on the
afternoon in question, Adjie somehow lost
her nerve and went all to pieces, so that her
afternoon act had to be omitted. The poor
girl came to me in great distress, and after
telling me that she could not go on / at
once proceeded to feed her on TO-NI-TA,
and when the curtain was rung up on her
performance that night she had recovered
her nerve and courage, and gave one OF the
greatest acts of her life. | don't know from
whence or in what manner Dr. Lorentz de-
rived his inspiration, but do know that To-
NI-TA is one of the greatest Godsends to
mankind"
1t makes no difference how. rundown,
weak, wasted or nervous you may be, To-
NI-TA will build you up and restore you to
health and strength. Miss Dressler is but
one of many thousands who have been re-
stored through its marvellous powers You
will feel better with tho first few doses and
soon be cured completely. TO-NI-TA is
guaranteed to contain no cocaine, morphine
or other dangerous drug, and is sold by all
druggists or direct, 81 per bottle

TO-NI-TA is laxative tonic. You need
no pills or tablets. Beware of nostru.n,
and patent medicines that constipate; thew
ruin the lining of the stomach and bowels.
Ask your druggist for TO.NI-TA and re-
fuse INSTITUTES and limitations.
