Iii an interview Mr. Fred Thomas of 1925 St. Charles street, says:
 For eight years I have been q suf- fefer of indigestion and stomach trouble, trying various remedies, but l never found anything that would reach the spot like Vitalitas did. I am now eating food that I dared not before taking Vitalitas. I am sure it is the medicine I have been looking for. l recommend 1t to all who suffer with indigestion and stomach trou- ble. for I know what it is doing for me it will do for others.'
 Not only for stomach trouble will Vitali- tas be found wonderfully effective but for many ailments of stomach. liver, kid- neys, bowels and blood. As a spring tonic ii should be in every home.
 Cures regarded as marvellous from tha us. of Vitalitas are constantly being re- ported from over the south by sufferers of chronic disorders. Vitalitas has no harmful ingredients and is wholly and purely nature product.
