WAS RUN DOWN
 AND NEEDED
 A SPRING TONIC
Mir. Edward A. Warner, 1926 East Main Street, This City, Says Lax alone a Spring Tonic of Great Value.

To those in need of a spring tonic the formula, and process in the Inanu- facture of Lax-a-Tone should convince most anyone that it is unsurpassed. In the first place it is purely herbal and the juice is squeezed from the herbs by heavy pressure which makes it a1m ost a pure herb juice. In the second place t contains dandeliOn, mandrake, vel 1OwdOck, ,gentian, SassafraS, ,cascaha and other herbs of known value. This rem edy has made a wonderful success and est stomach remedy of the age It is aoh, an active liver, and kidneys that are working properly will produce pure blood and ure blood will rebuild the waste matter in the system. If you have spring fever, feel tired, out, rundown, dorwsy, sleepy and need a, spring tonic, give Lax-a-TOne a trial. In one week you will feel like a differ ent person.
 MT. Warner says:-tI was badly run down and Tn need of spring tonic and one that would take hold quickly. had been suffering from indigestion, gas and bloat and had heard of the great success Iax-a-TOne had accom- plished with stomach trouble, so began using it. I must say I never saw any thing like it as it not only cured my stomach trouble, but it's tonic effects are wonderful and T will surely use it every spring. It will pay anyone to try it as it IS worth it's weight in gold.'
 The Lax-a-Tone man is at Harti- gan'S drug store, e81 Fairfield avenue, near Main street, where he is intro ducing this remedy to the Bridgeport IubIic.-AdV.

]. B. IRVING HAD
 PREMONITlON OF SOME HARD LUCK
Wife of Missing Salesman Says Husband Confided
 Fears to Her.

Developments in the police search now being made for J. B. Irving, the missing tea and coffee salesman who disappeared nysteriousIy from the Coleman apartments I on the street bearing that name, indicate that Irv- ing may still be in this city suffering from amneSia.
 William Hassan, proprietor of the Coleman house, who had much occa- sion to talk with Irving over tele- phones, asserts that late Thursday night a call was received from a pay station, the voice sounding like that of Irving. The person talking asked for Mrs. Irving, but when told that she was out, said that he would call again.
 Independent search. by private de- tectives has been made throughout Stamford, New York and. Brooklyn for Irving without success. Every sanitarium near this city has been visited but nobody answering Irving description has been admitted.
 The police have been asked to send particular descriptions of Irving to San Francisco, Baltimore and New Orleans, cities that the missing man is known to have wished to visit. New York Elks have been requested to make search for him as he is believed to have been a member of No. 1 lodge during his law studies with Judge Pryor, a distant relative.
 Mrs. Irving is of the belief that he is the victim of .over-worked nerves though some statements made by Irv- ing before the night of March 20 when he disappeared indicate that he may have committed suicide.
 s'I fear something is going to sepa- rate us, -dear,'' he is reported to have said. He also told Mrs. Irving, who found him crawling about the bed l room floor at an early hour and talk ing irrationa1ly, that she must watch
