This was the impression gained from

There was no stalling for effect
before the generous sized crowd of
onl0okers which had assembled to
watch the practice Of the Griffmen.
His entrance wasn't staged and no
element of the dramatic attended his
advent: he just grabbed a ball and
started throwing by way of inaugu-

For three years, after every

Food sol!red and nauseated me. A
few months ago, I had severe
stomach attack that kept me in
bed six weeks. I couldn't hold any
food on my stomach, and I got ex-
tremely weak and lost weight rap
idly. Nothing seemed to help me,
and was terribly discouraged when
happened to read about Viuna and
decided to try it. That was the
turning point. Before I had fin
ished the first bottle, felt a great
change for the better. Now my
stomach is fine, and I can eat any,
thing without any pain, sourness
or belching. The headaches, which
were terrible, have all gone, and SO
have the hot flashes. I am better
in every way than I have been for
years, and am rapidly regaining my
lost weight ~.
viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. IL
purifies the blood, clears the skin, re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and .energy to the whole
body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If
