Nothing So Good AS TonaIl
For Indigestion" Is the
Experience of a Nurse.

Il suffered for years with indigestion.
Nothing helped until I began taking
Tonall. Now / eat anything and am get
ting fat, says Nora Green, of Coates
vile, Pa.
My occupation is nursing. My duties
take me among sick people. My expert
ence with Tonall has been beneficial in
deed. 1t drove all pains from my stom-
ach. l feel all toned up, and there must
be great virtue in the Roots, Herbs and
Barks in Tonall, as it certainly is good
for stomach ailments.
My wonder is why don't everybody
with indigestion use it. They would if
they knew what good it does"
