SATISFACTION
GRATIFYING IN
MANY CASES
States Well Known City Lady
in Speaking Of the Virtue
Of the New Tonic
GREAT BENEFITS DERIVED
Little Real Pleasure in Life When All
Worn Ont.


Worn Out.
Some interesting facts are told
nearly every day regarding the new
tonic, "Tona Vita" which has had
such a remarkable run in Wilmington.
This remedy has great virtue in
treating nervous diseases, stomach
trouble and general wasting condi-
lions of the system. The satisfaction
IL has given is truly gratifying in
every case.
Among many statements received
Is one of Mrs. Lola Miller, residing
at 224 Franklin street, who has this to
say regarding this new preparation. /.
Il suffered mostl yfrom indigestion.
Felt tired and all run down and was
very nervous and weak. Tried many
remedies but receiving no relief.
However, since using 'Tona Vita I
feel very much better in every way.
I find the tonic most excellent sys-
tenn builder and heartily endorse IL
and recommend it to all who need an
invigorator."
This is one of the many statements
received from people who have tested
this remarkable new preparation and
have derived great benefit.
The specialists are at the Miller
Drug Company, 404 Market street
from a. m. to s D. m, and will fur
uish a free trial treatment of the
tonic if you are in any way afflicted
with debility. The demand for this
tonic is growing bigger every day and
the specialists say that ''Tona Vita
will make the same record here that a
similar preparation has made in Eu-
rope.
while we are meeting callers now
each day and hundreds of debilitated
people are regaining their health
through our tonic there are thousands
more whom we want to reach before
VIC leave. If all the men and women
who are struggling along depressed in
mind and body by nervous debility
unable to get any real enjoyment out
OF living, would take the trouble anc
time to come in and talk to us. VIC
would bring a tremendous amount oi
happiness TO the people of this city
There is little real pleasure in life
for an individual who feels continual
ly worn out. Positively the very first
dose Of our tonic benefits a man ol
woman in this condition"

just then the huge figure of levin
came between me and it. He bent
over me, and putting his hand under
my shoulders, lifted me to a sitting
posture; at the same Kruse took hold
of my feet. In that fashion, without
paying attention to my words, they
carried me into the yard where the
balloon was fastened. The contact
with the open air Immediately made
me quite awake, and ! cried out in
wild terror. levin only replied to
my outcry with hoarse laugh.

growled. AS he spoke he flung me

open air. We.were now in a square
yard. surrounded on all sides by build.

lantern. Its light fell upon an object
which caused me to start with sur

feet in diameter, which was tied down
with ropes and securely fastened to
an iron ring in the pavement II

band. This way, Dr. Halifax"
He opened door as he spoke. and I
found myself i'm a large laboratory
fitted up with the usual appliances.
Kruse and levin began to show me
round, and Mrs. Kruse stood near the
entrance. The place was full of a
very disagreeable smell. and Kruse
remarked on this and began to ex-
plain.
We were experimenting until late
hour this afternoon" he said, with
some isocyanides. and as you are
aware, the odor is overpowering; but
We thought it would have cleared

tory will be fresh and wholesome"

and also what appeared to be a tin
canister. These articles Kruse held
In his hand and proceeded, with Lee
wins help, to fasten round the under
side of the plank, just below where
was lying. They were kept in their
places by an iron chain. AS soon as
this operation was over Levin began
to slash away at the ropes which held
the balloon in the yard. / now found
myself lying stretched out fat, unable
to move an inch, staring up at the

by the state superintendent, and the
high school directory number of the

leges; in 1911 there were IS such,
and the number is increased to 81 for
the present year.. The total number
of teachers in 1911 was 415. and this
year All; 276 and 303 with degrees,
respectively. The University of South
Dakota leads with the number OF
teachers supplied state schools with
80, 20 with degrees and one without;
and is closely followed by Dakota
Wesleyan with 10. Is with degrees,
four without, and Yankton college

comes fourth with 10 instructors, none
with degrees; Huron college furnishes
five graduates and two n~on-graduates;

and Redfield college one. OF the total
OF 81, 81 are the graduates Of full

figures show that there is a steady
yearly increase in the number OF
South Dakota teachers from South

when the alumni of all the different
