VI have been sufferer from indi- gestion and stomach trouble for the past six months,'' said William G. Grimes. of No. go Fulton street, city, recently There were times when l could eat nothing but liquid foods, '' continued he, "and even this would cause misery. I suffered from ex- treme- spells of nervousness and sleep gave me no benefit. I had no vitality or energy and felt droopy and tired most of the time, in fact, I was very badly run down.
 'I heard of this new tonic, "Tona Vita,' and decided to give it a trial. began to improve from the first dose It has acted as tonic for my entire system. I now feel like a new man. l can now eat and sleep and my ner- vOusness has about disappeared. can most heartily recommend this medicine to anyone suffering as I vNs.'
 MT. Grimes's was a pronounced case of nervous debility which is like ly to be found existing in any Bridge port family said one of the special- ists sent here to introduce Tona Vii ta. in discussing the, matter later. Half sbf the people Of Bridgeport find life a burden and have little real happiness as result of this modern malady," continued this specialist.

They suffer with timidity. have no initiative, are droopy, and haven't enough good. rich blood in their veins to make them capable or self-reliant. Their nerves are pitched to such high tension that they ina zine themselves afflicted with various diseases at different times. The real trouble with them is debility, produced by the strain of the modern city life they, are forced to among the people or the country, the freedom of which permits them to ob- serve natures limitation. 'TOna Vita will remove this dis tressing condition. If it doesn't the trial costs nothing, as the medicine must do the work or we don't want money for it."
 The specis lists are at the Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, No. 909 Main street, between the hours of a. m. and g D. m., where they will meet the public for limited time.
 Enthusiasm continues to prevail generally where the new product, call ed s"Tona Vita" has been used. The great amount of good which seems to have been accomplished is the cause of considerable excltement by those who have seen it's wonderful work. Case after. case cf people who were comparatively nervous wreckS ana those who have been sufferers from stomach trouble for wears have been reported and the results of s'Tona Vii ta' were said to have been astonish- ing in nearly every case.

TELLS OF x-sCI7aCE CURES.
Lecturer Says III Persons Should Be
 Free to Choose Treatn1e1lt.
IN. V. Times. Dec. 6.)

If Christian Science healer in this city is arrested after the death from diphtheria of child whom she has been treating, Virgil O. Stickler, Christian Science lecturer, asked of a big aSsemblage in the First Church of Christ Scientist, Ninet sixth street and Central Park West, last night. why should not regular physicians be children to die, Vf the, same. disease in a year? The value of Mrs. Eddys teaching was evident to all familiar with the statistics of the cures it had accomplished, Strickler insisted. Therefore, he observed, persons who believe in Christian Science should be as free to choose that form of treat ment as the adherents of what he referred to as ''the drugging system.
 Strickler, who is a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church in Boston, Mass, took as his there had been thirty-two deaths of children under Christian Science doc toring in the United States in the last thirteen years. Of that number, it appeared, one youngster had per ished from diphtheria in this city, as against 1,715 under orthodox medical treatment for the same ailment in the city in one year. SYet the speaker said, the women healer who had been in attendance on the single child that died was arreSted,~ and the little ones mother also seized for suffering her child ito receive Christian Science treatment.
 Really, in all fairness" Strickler asked, why should not the doctors be arrested Cor permitting more than 1.5OO children to die from diphtheria, the same as Christian Science prl titi 5nel is arrested when me of q [ ps tents h. pens to die from the same disease? Or why not arrest the mothers of thuse 1,500 children for nmpl. y,n, q, DTS who permit their children to die.
 rChristian Science" he continued, ! .fl:,s attracted an intelligent and edu- cared class, and as a rule. they are amcr.g the. best citizens of the com munity. They are as capable If de- terrnining the kind of treatment they wish for themselves and families in case of sickness as any other class and are as much entitled to the free exercise of their right to choose the system they prefer as are the advo- oates of the drugging system. The Christian Science movement is grow ing more rapidly at this time than ever before, and in every case that is due to it's healing of sickness Fresh paint on a coat sleeve or rough material can be removed by rubbing oIo rEa nf
