One Saturday night about Two years
ago while the Rescue Ambulance
Corps was making Its rounds at night
through the city OF Cleveland. in
passing a certain dark alley means
we're heard. coming apparently from
a woman. An investigation by the
comps revealed young girl about IS
years OF age. lying bleeding and ;un-
conscious and apparently dying from
cash in her head. She was imme-
diately placed in the ambulance and
taken TO the Salvation Army hospital,
and her many wounds dressed and
consciousness restored. After de-
tentlon OF two weeks in the hospital
she was removed TO the Rescue Home
for Girls, and placed in charge of a
matron who gave special attention to
her case.
She was very reluctant to give her
story. and &t was only after thirty
DAYS when her confidence had been
won by kind treatment and helping
hands. that she gave the story. Upon
her recital of ner story her parents
were communicated witch in southern
Ohio. They cathe to Cleveland to

she was returned TO her parents, and
lived a changed ffe thereafter. and in
six months she was happily married.
and to this day remains true to her
profession.
Her story was mot unlike that OF
many other girls who have expert
eneed about the same things, and have
also been rescued and restored by the
asencles employed by the Army in
all the large cities Of the country.
Reared in a small country town and
lnlamed with the ambition to see the
city, she left home with SIS in cash
and went to Cleveland, O., where
things went along adj right as long as
her money lasted, but she was elected
(, from her room and thrown out in the
cold world when her resources were
exhausted. She was found late at
night upon a bench in the public
square by a lady, we'll dressed and APP

GEORGE HART TELLS
INTERESTING STORY
Gives Some Good Advice
to Public Gained by

George d. Hart, OF 10 Rowland Avenue,
Norfolk, Va, is among hundreds Of Rich
mond people who arc now enthusiastic
indorscrs OF the new tonic, fiona Vita"
that is having such tremendous run in
Richmond at present

so. got the tonic short time ago, an
am now feel ng better than have for
several years.
Before using this remedy was COM
pletely run down and was half sick most
OF the time. | slept badly, had stomach
trouble, and was very nervous. | had
little strength or energy, and could hardly
walk to the Polk Miller Drug Company
to purchase the tonic.

improvement-in fact, began to i'm

thought 1t must be my imagination. |

| am now like another person altogether
sleep well, eat well and have much more
strength. The wornout feeling has left
inc, and am not as nervous as was.
This is Il marvellous tonic, judging by
what it has done for me. have told
several OF my friends about it, and they
are going to try it also"
The specialists who arc in Richmond
introducing the new tonic are meeting
the public at the Polk Miller Drug Com
pany, S54 East Main Street, between 9
a. Nj. and P. NJ. These specialists state
that the success OF the tonic here is larger
than they anticipated, and that great
many people are taking the tonic here in
the city.
While We arc meeting callers now each
day, and hundreds Of dcbilitated people
arc rcgainng their health through our
tonic, there arc thousands more whom
we want to reach before we leave. II 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 only take
the trouble and time to come in and talk
to US we would bring a tremendous
amount OF happiness to the people Of this
city. There is little real pleasure in life
Tor an individual who feels continually
worn out. Positively the very first dose
OF our tonic benefits man or woman in
this condition.
