numerous other local people. Mrs. NJ
B. Schmuck. we'll known Evansville
woman of It's Upper Fourth street
has found long needed relief from af-
ter effects of the 'f1u" through use of
Trutona. Mrs. Schmuck made the fol-
lowing frank statement on April /:
II had had the flu and l was told
that my troubles were all caused as
a result of that ailment My stomach
was out of shape: l had no appetite
and l simply couldn't sleep at night
Gas often formed in my stomach and
l would suffer the most severe pains.
Il can eat as much as a man, since
taking Trutona. And oh, how we'll
sleep now. The food I eat agrees with
me, too. for l don't experience the gas
formations and pains after meals now
I have been relieved of the nervous
ness I formerly suffered. l feel so
much better that I can conscientiously
recommend Trutona to those suffering
as / did"
Thousands of persons who were vic
tins of influenza and for weeks and
months thereafter were unable to re-
gain their strength have found in Tru-
iona, the perfect tonic, a medicine that
gave the results desired. BY cleans
ing the sytem, creating an appetite
and producing sound, restful sleep
Trutona has caused countless persons
to regain their lost strength in a sur
prising short time. Be prepared for
this winters ailments. Get a bottle
of Trutona today.
Trutona, the perfect tonic, is now
being introduced and explained in
