General Surprise
Has Been Caused
By the Unreserved Statement. Of
Scores of Richmond People
Who Have Been Helped

Scores OF Richmond people who have
mat practical common sense which guides
them IN all their acts and conclusions are
coming out unreservedly with statements
regarding the new tonic, "Tona Vita"
the remarkable properties OF which are
being daily demonstrated at the Polk
Muller Drug Company, No 1884 East.
Nam Street, IN manner that is causing
general surprise in the CITY.
Well known among the recent indorsers
OF this new medicine is Mr.. Courtney
Naley, Of Laurel Street, this CITY. Mr..
Naley says:
81 had been in generally run down
condition. had no appetite, lacked en-
ergy, was nervous and irritable, could not
sleep but few hours at nigt, and
that in snatches, and had no ambition to
work on arising had tried various
remedies and tones, but to no avail until
| heard OF iona Vita decided to give
1t trial, and did so. can say | OBJ
tanned splendid and immediate results
| wish to say that | consider iona Vita
a great tonic and builder for all run down
tissues"
The Polk Miller Drug Company is
headquarters for this tonic here. and spe-
cialists are always on hand between the
hours OF A. NJ. and p. NJ. to explai3
thc nature OF the remarkable new remedy.
These specialists claim. that a large
percentage OF the population, especially
among the city people, are affected BY
nervous debility. One of the SPECIALISTS
said to-day in discussing the matter: "The
symptoms OF nervous debility are unn,is-
taxable to those who know how preva-
lent this trouble is. n tired, dragging
feeling OF the body, sluggish mind snti
dull memory, depression OF spirits, ner-
vousness, stor'ach trouble, weak back,
cold feet, headache and bowel trouble.
These are sure indications Of nervous de-
blity.
"'Tona Vita will positively remov.
this condition. il it doesn't, the trial
costs nothing, as the medicine must do
the work or we don't want money for it.
We believe we have preparation that is
worth its weight in gold to the man or
woman afflicted with nervous debility"
Enthusiasm continues to prevail gcner-
ally where the new product called "Tona
Vita" has been used. The great amount
OF good which seems to have been accom-
plishcd is the cause OF considerable COM
Inent by those who have seen its wonder
tul works. Case after case of persons who
we're comparatively nervous wrecks, and
who had been sufferers from stomach
trouble for years, has been reported, and
the results Of "'rona Vita are said to
have been astonishing in nearly every
instance.

Lady Augusts Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement, is fond of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
ut was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they we're having a
church wedding. 1t was grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively in
many colors, The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle out into the street, where a
great crowd greeted them with delight.
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, ina loud
whisper, Och, Pat, If we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't 1t have
been hivin?'"

Can't Evade Stock Tax.

The state tax commission has trans
mitted to county auditors the list of
persons holding stock in the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey, as fur
nished to it by Attorney General
Hogan.
The auditors were informed that
this is a foreign corporation, which
has no property and does no business
in this state, has never complied with
any of the Ohio laws, and 'such
shares are, therefore, clearly taxable
as investments in stock in the hands
of the owners thereof resident in
Ohio"
The commission sends with the list
the following Instructions:
"The attorney general advises that
the market value nf each share OF
stock ON the day preceding the second
Monday of April, 1912, was something
like $500, and the commission is in
formed that the market value of each
such share of stock on the day pre-
ceding the second Monday of April
1911, was about $500.
This list is furnished you for the
purpose of assisting you in the per
formance of your duties, and 1t is sug
gested that you should investigate the
returns of those persons named II
the list who are still residents of YOU
county, and ascertain If any return o.
such shares has been made for botf
of said years and, If not, that yo,
call such persons before you and in
quire as to their holdings of sucl
stock"
