Hundreds of People in Birmingham Do Not Realize the True Cause of
 Their III Health

Among the hundreds of statements be- ing made in connection with the remark ahle new tonic "Tona Vita" none are more interesting than that given out re- cer tly by MT. D. w. Lackey, residing at 234e Seventeenth street, Ensley, also Known in Birmingham.
 MT Laekey said: For some time past l have been in a general run down con- oition, suffering from sleeplessness and nervousness. l tested various medicines without relief, and finally lost hope.
 A short time ago Tona Vita was rec ontmended to me and l decided to give it trial. It has helped me wonder fully although l have only taken one bottle l now feel like have new lease of life. My ambition has returned, as well as my strength and energy. 1 now sleep well at nights and get up in the mornings feeling fine and do not suffer any pain any more. I can certainly rec oiln ended this tonic to all in a run down condition as l was"
 Pc eople who are nervous and irritable, have imperfect digestion, stomach disor der. lack energy and ambition, feel mel archoly and discouraged, suffer with headaches, backaches, poor memory. un- st und sleep, irregular circulation, pallid co nplexions, and who are susceptible to cot ghs and colds, are unquestionably suf- fer.ng with that modern plague, nervous q, tiiity, say the representatives.
 These are thousands of such half sicl, men and women in Birmingham who real ly do not know just what is wrong with tfem," said one of these representa- tives yesterday morning.
 They struggle aimlessly along until tiey become totally debiitated, and often times they come to us suffering with tEis dreaded condition in it's most ag- aggravated form" continued he.
 We have a preparation that will posi- lively remove this trouble and restore 1he organs of the body to their healthy, normal condition.
 The "Tona Vita representatives are at the Collier Drug companys store, 109- ill North Twentieth street, between the hours of a. m and 8 D. m. daily dur ing their stay in Birmingham.
 This preparation acts like a true spe- cflc in all cases of debility repairing all organic weakness. whether man wo- niaf- and proves a lasting source of bene- if and relief. When buoyant spirits roiErn and depression gives away to cheerfulness, il is hard to recognize some or the former sufferers.
