An Age of Nervousness.

Among the hundreds of statements
being made in connection with the re.
markable new tonic, s'Tona Vita, .
none are more interesting than that
given out by j. B.. House of 381 TWEEN
tleth avenue, well known resident of
Milwaukee.
Mr.. House said: ''For the past sew
eral years | have not enjoyed good
heaith. was all run down, intensely
nervous and suffered with the most vio-
lent headaches. / felt tired and dull
all day; my body seemed benumbed at
times, and could not sleep at night.
My bowels would not perform their
proper functions; my digestion was i'm
perfect, and / was continuously consti-
pated. AS soon as ate anything my
stomach would fill with gas and would
be distressed for half hour or more
afterward. My mind was dull and my
memory very poor. In this enfeebled
condition contracted cold very easily,
and suffered with severe coughs. I
tested various medicines without re-
lief, and finally lost hope.
Ten days ago talked with one of
the iona Vita physicians at the drug
store and he explained my trouble and
advised me to try his preparation. |

Vita proved wonder in my case.

OF life. My ambition has returned, as
well as my strength and energy. l
now sleep at night and get up in the
morning feeling cheerful and ready for
work
my wife was also run down and in
poor health. She started taking the
medicine when it began to help me.
Her improvement has been fine and she
is now in good health.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. House were vic
inns of pronounced cases of nervous
debility which may be found in any
family" says one of the physicians
who are introducing iona Vita to the
Milwaukee public.
"Half of the people in most of the
larger cities find life burden and have
no real happiness as result of this
modern plague. Some people have un-
certain appetites, poor digestion, I'M
easy sleep, little ambition, and they
feel too tired for the simplest work
most of the time They suffer with
timidity, have no initiative, are drow-
sy, and haven't enough good, rich
blood in their veins to make them capa-
BILE and self-reliant 'Tona Vita will
remove this miserable condition within
a remarkably short space of time. The
medicine must do the work or money
will be refunded"
Lees Rhubarb Laxative, the assist
ant preparation, is the best family lax
alive in the world. The natural medic
inal qualities of rhubarb- natures pur-
est and best laxative, are obtained in
this medicine. Lees Rhubarb Laxa-
tive will not harm the weakest consti-
tuition and is therefore ideal for chill
dren. 1t is very pleasant to the taste.
H. D. Stappenbeck' drug store has
secured the agency in Edgerton for
these celebrated preparations.

is now being put on sale in all drug
stores. Peroxide begins to lose strength
as soon as opened and becomes value
less in few days. Much that is used
in families is no better than water.
Benetol is many times more effective,

An Anecdote of Handel.

On one occasion Handel was caught
in a shower of rain and. being unprO-
vided with an umbrella. was obliged to
seek shelter in a blacksmith's forge.
Either Handel was in a silent mood
or else the blacksmith showed no con-
versational symptoms. for in little
while the latter began hammering
away at his anvil. accompanying his
work with song. He little thought
the use his visitor was making of him
and his anvil. for it is said that Han
del was listening all the time to the
strokes Of the hammering on the anvil.
which. by producing two harmonic
sounds. according in time and tune
with the tune the man sang. formed
a bass accompaniment. Handel. on
reaching home. remembered the air
and the hammer accompaniment. He
wrote down both. and so we owe to Q
