appeared at the court once to bail n

He paid no attention to the summons,
and was then nabbed and returned to

While waiting for Judge Bray's court
to open Riley discovered Ialigi had
pointed his horses head in the street
in the wrong direction and again had
him turn the animals nose so hat the

TWO COSTLY AUTOS IN
MISHAPS IN w. ORANGE

Careless driving, it is said, in one in
stance, and the refusal of the brakes

other. caused two big automobiles 10

hurt.
Driving down Mountainview avenue

of c. S. Snead, of 4 Rockledge road,
Montclair, nearing the end of the street,
did not slacken his speed and went over
the curbstone n down the embank-
ment, the car landing among a pile of
big stones. The front of the car was
smashed and the axle and running
board damaged beyond repair. IT will
cost several hundred dollars to repair
the damage.

SILENT FOR YEARS.,
ONE WOMAN SINGS
WHILE DO|NGW WORK
So Depressed by Her Condition
She Could Not Use
Her Voice.
STATED EFFECT OF TONIC
WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATE
Relief IRON Debility Lifts Weight
From Heart and Cloud
From Brain.

The specialists who have charge OF
the introduction in Newark of the re-
markable new tonic, called "Iona vita,
bad a busy day Saturday. a steady
stream of callers visited the E. X. Petty
Drug Company, Broad street, TO VIII
ness the "fve-mInute demonstration
and secure a trial of the preparation.
"rThis is only the beginning, said n
OF the specialists. During the next
two weeks we expect to meet many
people at this store. as many more are
coming every day. During the rest of
this week we will continue to let callers
have a free trial of the medicine, but
his will not be necessary after his
week.
ANY man or woman in Newark VINO
is a victim of nervous debility is' MAX
ing a grave mistake il they do not try
his medicine, In the first place II IT
does not restore them to health 1T costs
nothing, and it is certainly worth the
trouble to come and get the tonic when
1t means constant poor health If they
don't. The symptoms of nervous debfl-
ity are often mistaken for something
else, stomach trouble as a rule, but
there is no mistaking debility for my
thing else by those who understand 1t.
The following are characteristic of this
trouble: Lassitude, timidity, depres-
sion of spirits. little vitality, cold feet,
headaches, stomach and bowel trouble,
weak back with duh pains at the base
of the spine. Those are all unmistak-
able symptoms of nervous debility, and
there are thousands of people, especial
ly in the larger cities, who are af-
flicted.
"'Tona Vita will act in such cases
like a true specific. From he first mo-
ment the medicine is taken improve
ment Is rapid. A dozen people who
started taking the tonic last week told
us today that they are like different in
dividuals. One woman told me she had
not had a happy moment for four years
until the last few days. She stated that
she used to sing, but had been so de-
pressed in spirits hat she had not done
so for several years. She told me she
had beer singing while attending her
household duties during the last few
days as she had not done since she was
a girl"
One man said: For many years I
found 1t almost impossible to work
steadily. I was just about ready to
stop work when I began taking this
medicine. I can hardly believe it. yet
I am sure that this medicine acts In
such a way that 1 am perfectly able to
continue with my work"
A trial is all hat is necessary to
prove to an individual suffering from
nervous debility that this woman had
good cause for singing. Eliminating
debility from the system is like lifting
a weight from the heart and a cloud
from the brain.
The specialists will meet all callers
daily at the store of z. r. Petty Drug
Company. Broad street. between the
hours of 9 a. m. and s p. m and explain
to them the nature of their new prepa-
ration.
