"You see," said she in her naive manner.
"my long and tedious illness made sad in
roads on my vitality and strength, and when
4 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 q
wreck, so that when commenced to recover
it became necessary for me to take strong
tonic notwithstanding that would build
up my wasted and shattered condition. AT
this time friend told me of the great heal
ing and yitalizing powers of TO-NI-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. I
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.

and its noJaishing, vitalizing and healing
qualities are really miraculous. When got

it inspired me instantly with courage and

I recall an occasion when was playing at
the Circle Theatre, New York. Among the
specialtieS was a thrilling act by Miss Adjie,
the lion tanner, who went through such a
daring and blood-freezing 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 sgo on | al
once proceeded to feed her on TO-N1-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. l 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 Godsend's to
mankind"

weak, wasted or nervous you may be, To-
MIA 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 the first few doses and
soon be cured completely. TO-Nl-TA is

Hon. T. B. Womack who welcomed
the students in q brief but most eX-
cellent address that pleased all.
In this he urged the importance OF
the young ladies having high ideals
and striving to attain TO these. Most ef-
factively he illustrated this by using a
story from Hawthorne, telling how the
boy in the valley had seen the man

told that one day q great man would
arise who would have like features
