The modern and spacious Trutona
laboratories at Louisville, KY, are
taxed to capacity in meeting the
syer-increasing demand for this

But more remarkable still. Is the
fact that druggists everywhere dis

writes B. A. Hsso, proprietor Of
the owl drug store At Quincy.
Think Of it! Fifteen thousand
bottles without q dissatisfied Gus
toner" What a tribute to the merit
Of this celebrated medicine!
Thousands of people have
adopted Trutona as a permanen,
household remedy, which accounts
for the steady sales. the famous tonic
has enjoyed in many cities. e. G.
Isaacs, president and general man
ager of the Taylor Isaacs Drug Co.
leading retail druggists Of Louis
vile, Ky, and one OF the largest
drug firms in the south, operating a
chain of six big stores in the Falls
city, writes:
sMore than $1,000 bottles Of
Trutona were sold In cur stores
the first year, but regardless Of
this renarkable sales record.
Trutona is still the largest
seller ON our shelves today"
Other letters from equally prom
inent druggists in many cities ex.
press samaZement and surprise as
do those above. That Trutona il the
fastest selling and repeating mer-
itorious preparation ever introduced
in Illinois, is their unanimous opin.
ion.

Trutona Relieved Burn

AT times, in the past, my stom-
ach would Just burn as if it were
on fire, but my digestive troubles

continued. my food soured in my
stomach a great deal, too, and l was
very constipated.
well, don't like publicity and
I've never before given a-testimon-
ial for any medicine, but / KNOW
Trutona is worthy of praise as a
stomach remedy and I'm glad to
speak a word for the medicine. I'm
never bothered with heartburn after
eating any more and the former an
noying gas formations have en-
tirely ceased TO occur. My bowels
act regularly as a clock nowadays.
In short, Just feel better in a gen.
eral way. since taking Trutona and
I'm glad to recommend it."
Thousands Of people, like Mr..
Hanson, who have never previously
Endorsed any preparation, have
come out with strong public state
ments regarding the remarkable
benefits they derived from Trutona.
It's different from the ordinary pro-
prietary preparation, folks! II YOU

ness, headaches. dizziness, back and
side pains. belching. bloatng
anaemia or thA like, try'a bottle OF
Trutona. You'll soon agree that
Trutona is different from the aver

was held Wednesday morning in the rooms of the Putnam Chamber of Com merce. The following officers were re- elected: President, Marcus NJ. Kimball {: vice president, John O. Fox: treasurer, Charles H. Brown; secretary, Frederick w. Seward. George NJ. Sampson, Charles o. Thompson, John O. Fox. Ed mund s. Backus and John A. Dady. whose terms had expirde. were re-elected as trus tees to serve until 1924. At the meeting the report of the treasurer and the report of the hospital superintendent. Miss Nellie Bloxham, were read and ap- proved. A meeting of the trustees which was to have followed the meeting of the incorporators for the purpose of electing committees and the hospital stan was adjourned for one week.
 The report of Miss Bloxham. hospital superintendent. shows that the hospital for the year ending June 3O 1921 has been much buster institution than 1t was in the preceding, year. During the past year 955 patients have been admit ted. 5s remained over from the previous year, 495 out patients were received. bringing the total number treated up to 1,4ss. This is POS more than the year before. when the total number treated was 1,2S1. There were 74s patients ad- mitted to the hospital for the year ead- ing June 90, 1920. which is 209 less ,han the number admitted for the year just ended. During the past year there were 605 private patienl.; 7s a Sd nst AT for the year bsfore, l4S wtri pstients ss against ITS, 195 free patients as against 15s, and town patients as against 4 | During this last year 62S surgical pa- tients were cared for, while in 1920 the number was 561- In the last l2 months l 579 operations were performed at the hospital. which is S5 more than in the year before. This year there were 1ll | births. which is an increase of 70 over l the preceding year. when there were "A | There was one less medical patient al i the hospital for treatment during thir
 past year than in the preceding twelve. i month. The number in 1920 was T. ir 1921. 70. The daily average number oi 1 patients for the period covered by the | last repart was 33.s. In the year before
 the daily average was 545. The maxi i hum number of patients at the hospita
 on any one day was this year s5. whicf
 is 2 less than the maximum of a veal
 ago. The minimum number at the hos pital on any one day was r for boti | years. During this past year the av
 craze number of days each patient re
 maned at the hospital was 12.s. Whil costs of maintaining a patient for on
 week have been somewhat greater thai the year before, the dif-H nee is no
 actually as great as might be suppose
 from the figures in the superintendent
 report. which shows the 1s1s-1920 aver
 age cost per week per patient to hay
 been s20.s3 as against S29.05 for 1920
 1921. This large difference arises becsus
 of the fact that the superintendent com
 piles her figures on a state blank whic
 requires statements concerning ambu lance costs. etc.
 This past year new ambulance ha been added to the hospital hut it wzs
