Was Extremely Nervous.


 There was evidence of mental as we'll as physical suffering, and my heart went out to that poor woman, when I saw what state she was in. Her lady friend, who brought her, was anxious and nervous over her condition and was willing to grasp at anything promising cure, as a drown ing man would grab at a straw. It is almost useless to describe this wo- mans condition to women as it is the same old story-dragging pains, constipation, torpid liver, backache, and, worst of all, nervousness. Suffering Was Intense.
 She described her symptoms and different treatments that other, doc tors had prescribed and told of money spent without getting any re- lief, that she was discouraged and Respondent, and that her suffering was almost unbearable. Pains across the back and kidneys. feeling of complete exhaustion; tired and worn down; at times could hardly drag one foot after the other; pains over the liver.
 The La Vita Experts
 made complete examination, and found the lady in terrible condi- ton, but soon discovered the cause of her sickness and at once began treating her. La Vita expert Clal1neO that MrS. MaQQO1OnIS l1Ver was enlarged and that it refused to eradicate the bile as nature intended; !; also that the gall duct became ob- structed which necessitated imme- diate attention. A peculiar looking medicine was compounded by the ex- perts and only three doses given to Mrs. Maddoloni and to her surprise she was relieved of over one hundred gall stones. No knife. no pain was ex- perienced. It would certainly do every suffering woman good to hear
 this lady tell her story. How quick ly she got we'll through the La Vita medical experts, after other doctors had tried for years to cure her and failed. And she does tell it. t co, every chance she gets.
 Glad to Tell About It. When asked by her friends and neighbors what she thinks of the La Vita treatment she replied: ''It is all right and I feel fine. I can sleep good, and eat good. to. My back is strong now, and the terrible pain I suffered

that around inside of my system for years, I guess and have been doctor ing with others and neither my doc tors or myself knew what was my disease. I am glad I came to the La Vita doctor. For you have certainly
 saved my life and I owe your doctor a debt of gratitude. Why, I have been ill for over one year, unable to work. Have doctored with three physicians and received no benefit whatever, in fact. I have tried every possible way to regain my health. My nights were sleeplesS and I was ner- vous. My appetite was irregular and my stomach would bloat. I had not and cold flashes come over me and
 very weak and dizzy spells. I was so discouraged as l was unfit to do a days work. I picked up one of the daily papers and saw where the La
 Vita doctor had been doing so much
 good work in Bridgeport and right then and there I made up my mind
 to go and see him. I first attended
 the lectures and demonstrations that are given nightly at their free show
 grounds on Main and Grand streets.
 Next morning I called at the offices of the La Vita Go. at 1412 State street and was examined carefully by the
 La Vita doctor. It was the most scientific and careful examination I ever received. The doctor then gave
 me one dose of a peculiar looking medicine and instructed me to return
 home, also remarked that I would be
 relieved of my trouble in four or five hours. I obeyed the doctors or ders, and. would you believe it, in
 three hours time I was relieved of this monster tape worm. I feel fine
 and expect to go to work in a few days. The crowd in the reception
 room pressed so closely against the
 man, eager to see the parasite, the doctor took Mr.. Haux into his private office and explained the nature of the parasite to him. The monster tape worm was measured and proved to
 be over forty feet in length. The
 La Vita doctor said there is nothing so remarkable about this occurrence.

Dr. LalSon'S
 Death Played
 Out The Plot
Novel Theory, Connecting
 Suicide of Doctor with
 Drama Woven About Him

Paris, June 28-An extraordinary story which may help to unravel the recent death in New York of Dr. Will liam Latson is printed in the Temps on the authority of Polish Austrian playwright, Leopold Kampf. The long article is signed "Nozier," and is printed under the title "A New York Drama" and with this comment: ''It is strange story and I leave it to psychologists and American justice"
 Kampf, according to the story, met Latson and a woman called merely Anna" in New York in 1908, during the rehearSals of his play "Le Grand Soir." They became warm friends, and soon the woman's friendship for the author grew to love. She confessed this to pr. Latson, who continued to befriend Kampf. and for the sake of Anna's happiness tried to induce him to settle in New York.
 Kampf, however, sailed for Europe three weeks after the beginning of the romance. For some time the two men corresponded, the doctor refer ring to Anna as the child" Soon. however, the letters became less ire, quent and then stopped altogether
 But the extraordinary personalities concerned in the romance had left a strong impression on Kampf's mind, the article says, and he decided to use the material as the theme of a play. He set to work and quickly finished Nina ct le PIaisir" which will be produced next October in Frankfurt, on the occasion of in auguration of the new theatre The three chief characters in the play are said to be faithful reproductions of Dr. Latson. the woman known as Anna" and Kampf-so much so that the hero's name is hardly chang ed, it being Larson. Obliged to pro- vide an ending for the play, Kampf makes his hero kill himself to leave the path free to the two sweethearts who he always befriended, and who out of their gratitude for him felt they could not marry so long as he lived.
 AS soon as the play was completed. few months ago, Kampf sent a copy to Latson, and it is his theory that both the doctor and Anna" might have been the victims of auto-sug- gestion. The doctor, he argues, might have written a last message to his mother and sister and then compelled Anna" to fire the revolver shot which killed him. Thus Kampf concludes the mystery of Latson'ss death Is cas- fly explained, and .',Anna" Is neces-

 Absorbed by Trust.
 According to reports the American Ram1e Company, which is occupying the Greenwoods plant at New Hart ford and employing about forty hands, has been absorbed by the cot ton duck trust and will be removed to Franklinville, Md.

 ''Sees Things" in Winsfed.
 George B. c. Rugg, assistant city editor of the Boston Post" will nev- CT again glance with suspicion at newspaper articles bearing winsted date line, according to his own state ment. MT. Rugg, who is visiting at the home of Mrs. Rugg's parents, Mir. and Mrs. l.. W. King, visited the golf links of the Green Woods Country Club Thursday and the things he saw caused him to change his mind re- garding Winsted news stories. First, he says, he discovered a six-foot black snake dangling from the limb of a tree directly over his head and he had hardly recovered his nerve when a red fox dashed out of the woods nearby, seized his golf ball and scampered off with it. MT. Ruzg immediately returned to Winsted and wired his chief-"Credit all stories from Winsted in the future; I hays been converted"

DIR. LATsON's DEATH.

New York, June 2S-Dr. w. R. C. Latson was found dead in his library at 660 Riverside Drive on the night of May II last with a bullet in his brain. Beside him was a note ad- dressed to his mother and sister read ing:
 Mother and Gertie: I have done my best. Death. w.
 The janitor of the apartment house told of seeing a young woman, whom he knew only as Miss Gordon, and supposed to be nurse, with the phy- sician two hours before his death was discovered. He said she had left the physicians apartment, locked the door, and then returned for her hat and coat by way of front window on the ground floor.
 Later the police identified the young woman as Alta Marhevka, a Russian girl, who has been a sort of secretary and a close friend of pr. Latson. She in love for long time, and had studied mystic psychology and philo- sophy together. After questioning her closely the Coroner became convinced that she was not present at the time of the shooting of Dr. Latson and that it was a case of suicide.
 Two days after the death of pr. Latson, the girl, who though 21 years old, seems to be a mere child, att tempted to commit suicide by turning on the gas in the apartment of Mrs. John Washington of 3,671 Broadway, with whom she had been staying. She was later revived at the Washington Heights hospital, and arrested on a charge of attempted suicide. In court several days afterward she was re- leased in custody of friends and rela> tives, who promised to take care of he:
 When asked whether there had ever been any talk between her and Dr. Latson tending toward a separat tion that she might join Dr. Kampf, she said they had often talked together and about pr. Kampf; but she would not make any further statement as to the nature of their converse tion in this regard.
 GIRL SAYS IT'S NONSENSE
 Concerning the theory of Dr. Kampf that Dr. Latsons death had been brought on by auto-suggestion. due to reading the manuscript of Dr. Kampf's S play. she would only say:
 That is nonsense. I do not believe he ever saw the manuscript, and l am sure he never showed it or spoke of it to me. I know nothing about that play. I know only the one Dr. one in which Anna played. I heard from friends with whom he and pr. Latson and used to associate that he had written plays since. But I have heard nothing from him since he went away. I did not even know where he had gone''

SICK FOR TWO YEARS.

SlCh FOf6 IWO r YEAfOS.
 T had been sick over two years, what began the trouble. And from that my liver got out of order, my digestion was bad. I became chron- ically constipated, one thing brought on another until I was miserable most of the time. Finally the doctors decided that I hay appendicitis and that INmust undergo an operation. Of course, I did as they told me. and endured the pain and danger. We'll, if had appendicitis before the operation, I had it afterward, for it ton, except to add to my pains. Then one day a friend told me about the La Vita treatment that was curing a lot of cases even worse than mine. decided if they could cure others they could cure me. So went to the La Vita office and asked to be placed under their treatment.
 Well, there isn't muct more to be told. The La Vita doctor cured me in a few days, removing some gall stones from me without an operation No knife was used, no pain ex- perienced. I have no more sickness I eat whatever I want and I feel per fectly well. My strength has returned Before I took the La Vita treatment | the slightest exertion tired me dread | fully.
