and be happy, but 1 know without
good health this is impossible.
Il saw 'Tona Vita advertised in the
papers and decided to try it. I went
to the drug store where this new med
icine is being introduced. and talked
to the specialists. I liked the way
they went about things. 1 heard one
of them tell woman that they did
not think that their medicine would
benefit her troubles and therefore
did not want her to buy it. This act
impressed me so that l bought bot
tie. After taking it several days be-
gan to improve and have continued
getting better each day. I now sleep
fine and what I eat I enjoy because
it agrees with me- I know of other
