Suffered Intensely From Back
Ache For Some Time.
Sought Different Means to Re-
Iieve Himself.
HEARS OF NEW METHOD
Astonishing Results Are Accom-
plished in Short Time.
Pains in Back Have Completely
Disappeared.
HEARS OF NEW METHOD

Il was in a thoroughly run down,
debilitated condition, suffering great
ly from backache,'' said James Lemon,
residing at NO. 1O46 Washburn Ave,
81 slept poorly and had a poor appe-
tite most of the time, and when I did
take food, it appeared to do me little
of any good.
4 had read considerably of the pre-
paration called 'Tona Vita and had
been recommended its use by an ac-
quaintance, and I decided to try it
after a conversation with one of the
specialists in charge Of the demonstra-
ton at The Arnold Drug Company,
and with little hope of any benefit that
might be obtained.
However, really thought L felt
better after the first dose and after
continuing its use according to direc-
lions, L can frankly state that L have
been thoroughly benefited. The back
ache has entirely disappeared and I
sleep and eat well, in fact feel better
than l have for a number of years.
The tonic seems to take hold at once
from what food is taken and gives i'm
mediate help. l cannot say enough in
favor of 'Tona Vita .
Poor appetites, bad digestion, un-
easy sleep, and little ambition are
ailments for which thousands of To
peka people are taking fiona Vita
and being helped daily. People in this
condition have no desire for work.
They are easily discouraged and every
thing seems to tax their nerves. Life
often grows a burden to them. They
are unable to enjoy real happiness.
People in this run down condition
need som ething to produce a richer
blood in their veins" said one of the
specialists who are at The Arnold
Drug Company introducing the new
remedy. They have probably neglect
ed themselves, feeling as the modern
them, that they would be better to-
morrow. Tomorrow has failed to
come and they have allowed them
selves to get into such a condition that
they suffer timidity and are minus the |
initiative that is necessary to carry on
their daily work. They are droopy |
and have that salloW complexion that |
tells their very condition in their faces. |
They imagine themselves afflicted with |
all sorts of diseases. Their nerves are
all unstrung and they have not the |
least desire for labor. Their real
trouble is debility and it is easily /
cured If treated before something else
develops"
'sTona Vita" will not cure every |
thing, but it will remove this condition |
and will give folks a new lease of life. |
If it fails to prove satisfactory it costs
nothing mo benefits. no money! is |

corded nearly every round up to the
eleventh, when Burns gradually began
forcing Coulon to break ground, get
ting the better of the infghting.
In the second Coulon raped Burns
repeatedly on the stomach, getting

the chin at the beginning of the third,
following it with short right to the
stomach. Coulon braced. forcing
Burns to the ropes, working rights
and lefts to mid-section. In this round
Coulon grabbed the top rope with his

Tuberculosis Campaign on
Baltimore & Ohio.
Read Fits Up Special Car to
Fight White Plague.
ALL ENAMELED IN WHITE
Car Is Most Unique Constructed
for q Railway.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Baltimore, Feb. 19.-The Baltimore &
Ohio railroad has enlisted in the ma
tiOn-Wide crusade for the extermina-
ton Of tuberculosis, having fitted UP
an anti-tu berculosis car at its Mount
Clare shops at Baltimore for the
Maryland association for the Proven
ton and Relief OF tuberculosis which
win visit the towns of Maryland in an
educational campaign looking to the
eradication of the white plague. The
car is designed to display anti-tuber-
culosis exhibits and lectures will be
delivered on the prevention of the
disease by local physicians at the cit
les and towns to be visited in the
state. The car may later tour other
places which B. & o. lines reach.
White Plague Rayages.
The ravages of the white plague
have spread with such alarming rap
idity in the United States during the
last twenty years. and with such fatal
results, that every known means has
been resorted to by medical science
in coping with it. The work of the
Maryland society, in undertaking an
educational campaign which will
reach every section of the state. gives
promise of being the most effectual
move of the kind undertaken up to
this time. The Red Cross society has
accomplished wonderful results in
stamping out tuberculosis, especially
in the larger centers of population,
and the plan of the Maryland society
is to supplement that work by dis
seminating such information through
the country districts as will tend to
put people on the defensive against
the deyasting disease.
Description of Car.
The car which the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad has fitted up to further
such ends is enameled in white, both
inside and outside, and is thoroughly
sanitary in design. The purpose is to
bring the history of tuberculosis, its
cause and effect, to the attention of
the people of the state in such a way
as to be prehenSive to all classes.
The car was opened to inspection
Feb at the Mount Clare shops and
the mechanics and other employees
of the railroad visited it. The car will
also visit the Riverside and Locust
Point terminals of the railroad, where
large numbers of railroad men are
employed. On Saturday, Feb. II, the
car will be formally opened and in
spected by Gov. Goldsborough, Mayor
Preston and other state officials as
well as municipal authorities and Bal
timore & Ohio officers. During the
more the week of Feb. 10 to "a, the
car will remain at Mount Royal sta
ton for the inspection of delegates to
the congress.
A large and powerful graphophone
which carries the sound of the human
voice more than a mile is a part of
the equipment of the car, the purpose
to deliver canned lectures to farm
ers who find it impoSsibl to hear the
lectures of their local physicians dur
ing the visit of the car to their local
railway stations. An electric lighting
plant is also installed on the car, for
heating and lighting purposes.
