SPECIALISTS DISCUSS
DREADED PLAGUE SYMPTOMS
Remarkable New Remedy Re-

composites Results.

THE sooner the city man reaches a
state of mind that keeps constantly be-
fore him as a living, active, impelling
force the fact that good health means
real happiness the better off he will
be-" say the specialists who were sent
here to introduce the remarkable new
tonic, "Tona Vita"
"a great majority of those who have
called at the drug store to have us ex-
plain the nature of our preparation"
continued one of these specialists,
have frankly said that they were suf-
fering from nervousness and We're all
run down, with no energy or ambition.
These symptoms indicate only one
thing, and that is that they are suf-
fering from the same trouble that af-
fects more than one-half of the popu-
lation.
1--WE are now living in a fast age. A
high state of civilization makes ps am
bilious, and in our mad rush to achieve
success we find ourselves carelessly ex-
ceeding natures limitations. We do
not stop for repairs until our conditions
are serious and alarming. and we can't
go any further along. Finally, In the
grasp VI ueDilIly we lOSe oul diipilioi'
and In its place assume a state Of Ian
guor, decline and depression.
Nervous debility is a miserable and
most dreaded condition of the body.
The organ are all disordered and nine
times out of ten the system needs a
complete rejuvenation. Nerve food is
required, new blood is needed, and
buoyant spirits are necessary to make
us feel hat we are once more in a
healthy original condition.
1--WE have q preparation that will
accomplish this very thing. 'Tona Vita
will relieve those suffering from such
complaints as nervousness, stomach
and bowel trouble. poor digestion, head
aches, pains in the back, constipation,
poor circulation, cold feet. depression
and dependency. The preparation is
pleasant to take. its effect is immediate
and 1t proves a lasting source of benefit
and relief"
Those of the public, whether man or
woman, who are debilitated can see us
between the hours of 9 a. m. and 8 p.
m. at e. r. Petty Drug Company,
Broad street.
A free trial will be given to the first
500 callers provided their symptoms
show them to be sufferers from nervous
debility.

TW0 POLICE CASES PUT

The Homestead restaurant at 70
Market street is getting well acquaint-
ed with police court ethics. Today
Fred Baldwin, of 112 New street, de-
clared that he entered the restaurant
and after being roughly handled was
thrown from the place. His condition
required treatment at the City Hos
pital. Joseph Rowitz, the son of the
proprietor. Is charged with the assault
and was held in 5000 for the grand
jury.
William Vaughn, a negro. went into
the restaurant and ordered pork chops.
He refused to pay for them because
they were not to his liking. He de-
clared that he was told he would have
to pay for them whether he ate or not.
Max Levy. the waiter. said the negro
pulled a blackjack. but Vaughn de-
clared the blackjack was nothing more
than his fist. Patrolman Schott, who
made the arrest, declared hat Vaughn
was very unruly when placed under
arrest. A fine of SIS was imposed.
