Profound Surprise
Over The Great Physical Benefits
Received by Local Woman

Mrs. Bculah Allen, of Marshall Street
city. made the following statement re-
Gently in connection with iona Vita +"
the medicine that is now being introduced
IN Richmond by specialists at the Polk
Miller Drug Company. No. S34 East
Main Street She said fiona Vita is
the finest tonic have ever taken. I
haven't been able to do nv work for two
months. | was so weak, and nothing
ate did me any good. | have taken but
a half bottle, and now cat and sleep well.
and am getting on fine. livery ono who
knows me expresses surprise over the
great change in my condition. | can't
praise this medicine enough, and can
prove all | say"
The specialists who are here introduc-
ing iona Vita are giving demonstra-
tons OF what the preparation will do.
All day long they meet callers at the Polk
Miller Drug Company. from 9 A. NJ. to
8 +. NJ, and try To produce a noticeable
Improvement in all cases OF nervous dc.
bility within five minutes The people
who take the medicine are the Judges.
There is no charge for this demonstration
''Tona Vita is breaking all records in
Richmond" said one OF these specialists
this morning. The people here are rap
idly awakening to full appreciation OF
what the preparation will do for them.
and the sale is large" continued he. I've
arc instructed by our company to take
no money for the tonic unless the medi-
cine proves satisfactory. Thousands upon
thousands in this and other large cities
are afflicted with nervous debility caused
by the strain Of metropolitan life. The
entire system becomes run down in such
cases and nervousness, stomach trouble,
headache, backachc, dependency and
loss OF vitality result. iona Vita will
work wonders in such cases in a remark
ably short time II it doesn't VIC want
nothing other than the time it takes to
so and get the medicine"
Comparatively few realize what a tre-
mendous number Of people among those
who live in the larger cities like Rich
mond are afflicted with nervous debility
IN a more or less aggravated form Nor
docs the public recognize the symptoms
OF this disease when they see them.
Iona Vita will repair all organic weak
nessts and build up and restore the body
TO healthy, normal condition in an
aastonishingly short space Of time. There
Is no better evidence of merit than that
which is shown by the testimony Of those
who have actually tested medicine, and
we arc receiving just such evidence from
scores OF people who have found iona
vita to be as represented.

Kaiser's Order Follows Apparent
Snub by Duke of Cumber-
land.
Br IA MAnaursE DE roxTENor.

By Ia MARQGISE DE FONTENOI.
IF EMPEROR WILLIAM has forbidden
the members Of the House OF Hon
enzollern TO take any official notice
of the death of Prince George VIII
liam of Cumberland. who was also a
member OF the reigning house of Eng
land. and. dc jure. crown prince of the
sovereign Duchy of Brunswick. ne has
acted under great deal of provoca-
ton. il must be owned. For the mo-
ment tho news of the accident reached
Berlin he Instantly dispatched two of
his sons. namely. Prince Eitel Fred :
crick and Prince Oscar. - the scene
of the catastrophe. and that by special
tram. in order that they might be
enabled TO bring back with them the
remains of the unfortunate Prince
George to Berlin.
1t cannot be doubted that In thus
acting, the Kaiser who is extremely
good hearted. intended to send the
body. with all possible royal honors,
Austria All these kindly Intentions
were, however. suddenly stopped by
reason of the Duke of Cumberland huv-
ing meanwhile sent Geographic noti-
every sovereign in Europe, with the
exception of the Kaiser himself; this
too. In spite of the Emperor's own
message of sympathy sent at once 70
IN. duke. fhu 1t not been Tor the
kaisers prohibition. there is no doubt
whatsoever but that the House OF
Iohenzollern would have been
worthlly represented at the obsequ:es
f not by him in person. by the crown
prince. or some other OF his sons. as
we'll as by many gorgeous floral enl
blems.
II might as well be remembered that
Crown Princess Cecilo of Germany liz
the sister-in-law of the Grand Duchess
OF Mecklenburg- Schwerin. a daughter
of the Duke OF Cumberland, and that
therefore 1t puts the royal house OF
Prussia in singular position TO he
thus at losgerheads with the Cumber-
lands on so sorrowful an occasion. OF
course this regrettable incident Will
not tend TO the healing Of the breach
between the Duke of Cumberland and
the German Emperor, who has person
ally made every possible advance to-
ward a reconciliation. IT is possible
