'T hope everyone, who is suffering
will give Trutona trial, for I'm sure
it will help them. My kidneys have
improved SO much, tina: I'm never dis
turbed at night, and I don't suffer the
pains across my back, either. Tru-
tona has strengthened my nerves, al
so. I notice that I sleep so much
better at night; and my food-well, in
stead of souring in my stomach, it
digests properly, and does me some
good nowadays. Trutona has also
regulated my bowels"
