Wheeling Woman Says ''Tru

WHEELING, w. Va, May 17.-Mrs
Mamie Cornelia, who lives at No. 2

grateful woman in her statement in re.
gard to the benefits she received from
/ the perfect tonic" Nothing has ever
done me as much good as Trutona, !"
was the enthusiastic exclamation OF
Mrs. Cornelia when asked few days
ago about her experience with the
wonderful medicine. She continued
thusly:
II had suffered from stomach and
kidney trouble for the past three
years doctored long time ano
tried many medicines but got no re-
lief. After meals | suffered severely
from the bloating and swelling OF my
stomach. I'd get so dizzy at times that
/ could hardly stand on my feet. MY
back hurt me so bad that | thought the
pain was going to kill me, and also
had a dreadful aching In my head to
contend with. | was constipated Sc:
verely for two or three days at times
and would suffer terrible gripping pains
in my bowels" :,
Before began using Trutona
couldn't sleep we'll. I'd usually lay
awake IuRuIH uuEu sA6atty MOA NM,
But it's different now since / tried
Trutona, as I'm sleeping better than
/ have for years. My constipation is
greatly improved and the former pains
In my head stopped almost at once.
I'll gladly recommend Trutona to
everyone and can conscientiously
say it is the best tonic have ever
taken"
Similar statements like these of
Mrs. Cornelia,s have been made by
other Wheeling residents and they
prove conclusively that Trutona Is
really medicine Of unusual merit.
Trutona has been declared peerless as
treatment for stomach, liver and
bowel troubles.
Trutona is now being introduced and

they can do It if the American mind
can be kept from serious thought.
There was a time when the wicked
ness of the underworld, here and else
where, used to be carefully yelled IN
order to protect youthful innocence.
and in those days those who desired
to satisfy their curiosity had to go a
long way and pay a large sum to do
it. The world war, however, has been
made an excuse by irresponsible pur-
veyors to unload on the American
public junk and filth in play and pic
ture that would be difficult to match
anywhere else on earth than in the
polluted imaginations Of it's creators.
