Miss Anita Cassner, salesladv. re-

following statement recently in connec-
ton with iona Vita" the remarkable
new tonic that is now being introduced in
Richmond

can recommend iona Vita for it IS
certainly wonderful remedy"
ouch a statement as the foregoing
should prove of unusual interest to those
suffering with similar troubles. The spe-
calists who are introducing "Tona Vita
state that members of any family in
Richmond are likely to be found suffering
with the same nervous, dcbilitated con-
dition OF the body, as it is an all too COM
mon complaint in the large towns, where
natures laws are apt to be disregarded.
Al OF this nervous, dcbilitatcd trou-
bic, said one Of the specialists, is due
principally TO imperfect digestion, which
Is supcrinduccd by the strain OF modern
city lie. There is too much hastily eaten
food.
Most people, however, are not seri-
ously affected by imperfect digestion"
continued he. They are lust lorcv and
nervous and easily tired They feel worn
out after little eXertion and are moody
and depressed. These are sure symptoms
OF an overworkcd stomach that, needs
toning up and regulating. iona Vita
will positively accomplish this, toning up
and restoring the organs to their healthy
normal condition. Our preparation must
prove satisfactory or VIC will not take the
money for it

modern plague, nervous debility, and
demonstrate the value OF their remarkable
remedy.
Enthusiasm continues to prevail gem
orally where the new product called "Tona
Vita has been used. The great amount
oil good which seems to have been accom-
plished is the cause OF considerable COM
mcnt by those who have seen its wonder

were comparatively nervous wrecks and

For the time being the Democrats
are out of the spot light, although
their contest has nil the elements OF II
genuine battle. speaker Clark's
strength continues to grow. His chief
victory for the week was to win in

gather in the sixteen delegates. This
was a disappointment to the managers
for Governor Woodrow Wilson. The

Sneaker Clark. Puerto Rico Instructed
its six delegates for Governor Wilson,
and Mississippi easily went Tor Rep
resentative Underwood. adding TWEEN

Reports from the tterald CORE

Clark is making greater gains than
the others in States which have not
vet chosen their delegates. South Da-
kotn has swung round for him. In
Minnesota Governor Wilson IS the
strongest candidate. hut the Clark men
