OPERATOR GIVES
HIS EXPERIENCE
G.. A. Hale Highly Endorses
New Tonic Being Introduced
CONDITION Is CHANGED
People Who Are Struggling Along De-
pressed In Mind and Body Should
Give "Tona Vita" a Tn-.

Mr. G. A Hale, operator for the
Southern Railway company, residing at
CoIeanor, also well known in Birming-
ham, is among hundreds of people who
are now enthusiastic indorsers of the
new tonic rTona Vita" that is having
such tremendous sale in this city at
present.
Mr. Hale said This iona Vita has
done more for me than. any medicine 1
have ever taken. L got the tonic a
short time ago and am now feeling
better than / have for long time.
Before using this tonic l was COM
pletely run down. l slept poorly, had
nervous Indigestion. l had little
strength and energy and my work be-
came a burden to me.
THE first few days I noticed a great
Improvement. in fact l began to i'm
prove after the first few doses of 'Tona
Vita / could hardly believe it myself
and thought it must be my imagina-
tion, as l had tried so many different
remedies without relief | now sleep
we'll, eat well and have much more
strength the worn out Keeling has left
me and | am not nervous as was. This
is marvellous tonic. judging by what
it has done for me-"
The representatives who are intro
ducing the new tonic in this city are
meeting the public al the Collier Drug
company 109-111 North Twentieth
street, from a. m. to p m. These
specialists state that the success of
the tonic here is larger than they an
ticipated and that great many people
are taking the tonic here in this city.
While we are meeting callers now
each day and hundreds of debilitated
people are regaining their health
through the use of our tonic there are
hundreds more whom we want to reach
before we leave. If all the men and
women who are struggling along de-
pressed in mind and body by nervous
debility, unable to get any real enjoy
ment out of living, would only take the
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 for
an individual who feels continually
worn out. Positively the 'ery first dose
of our tonic benefits man or woman
in this condition"

JUST IN TIME

Huntsville, May 21.-tSpeciaI)
Martha Cdbaniss. 102 years old,
died last night from pneumonia
contracted at public baptizing
on May IL when she, with about
so other converts. were hap
tiled in the icy water of the
Huntsville spring branch. The
spring branch where II crosses
Callatin street, just below the
dam. is the great baptizing place
for the negro churches of near
ly all denominations. No revival
passes without its elimination
of baptisms in the pure spring
water, the temperature of which
Is close to so degrees.
Martha Cabaniss was a con-
vert at a Baptist revival and
the rigors of blackberry winter
did not deter the converts from
immersion In the cold water.
So far as known, the aged wom-
an is the only person who has
died as a result of the unsea-
sonable baptism. but that there
was a great deal of suffering
was noted by the spectators.
