HAD STOMACH PAINS
AND RHEUMATISM
Elderly Woman Restored to Health
After Years of Cramps and
BIoating.

Readers who have endured ston-
ach torture, back-ache or rheuma-
tisrn, will be glad to know how Mrs.
Annie Rosenberger, go So. Court ST.,
Rockford, ILL.,, conquered her trouble,
in spite of her IA years of age. She
says:
For nine years, I suffered liv-
ing death. 1 could eat very little,
and even that caused cramps and
gas pains. had awful dizzy spells,
and fell several times. Four years
ago, rheumatism attacked my Shout
ders, arms, and legs. For three
years, I couldn't move my arms
without help. I was in constant
pain, nervous, sleepless, weak and
rundown. I had often read about
Viuna, and at last I gave it a trial.
Right away I felt better, and today
I am a different woman. My ap-
petite is good and have no dis
tress whatever after meals. The
rheumatic pains have almost faded
away, and can use my arms again.
I am rid of the dizziness, sleeping
fine and gaining weight. 1 spent
over a thousand dollars trying to
regain my health, but nothing I did
or took gave me any real relief I'M
til found Viuna."

bowels, lazy liver and weak Kidneys. 1t
purifes 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
you're not glad you tried Viuna, your
money will Be refunded. 81 at druggists,

In a way 1t all seemed funny to

The lines about his mouth showed
plainly in the set expression of his
temper. So she really knew Marco
Palmer!
He made no effort to interfere
with her call. BERTHE Lou jumped
as he slammed the door OF his
dressing room behind him.
Then Z wave Of despair swept
over her. and IL the young man she
was calling had not answered at
that instant she would have hung
up the receiver.
In fact she hadn't been at all
determined to 60 out with him.
Their casual acquaintance on the
train had been very pleasant but
Berthe Lou had turned a deaf ear
to his persistent pleas for q date
with her.
But now that she needed someone
to help her achieve q gesture OF
indifference to Rod and to his en-.
gagement to dine with Lila, she
didn't care In the least that Marco
Palmer was young man whose
escapades frequently made the
front pages Of the newspapers

Berthe Lou. fresh and dainty as

And he was letting her 60 out with

protest. Berthe Lou was unable to
perceive that he was too coldly
furious with her to care what she

CHAPTER xxx,

ssT4ELL0," BERTHE Lou called. in
ordinary tones.
Rods footsteps halted abruptly
Then. after what seemed to BERTHE
Lou an eternity Of waiting. he
turhed back and came to the arched
doorway Of the living room.
For q full moment he looked al
her without speaking. Then: sSo
you finally decided to uome home,
he said coldly.
BERTHE Lous hsart dropped to the
,nadir Of hope Untir that moment
she had not let herself. realize how
much her coming meant t.
her-that on this glorious event
she had built all her expectations
Of finding. happiness again with
Rod, .s. &.
Deep IN her heart the desire ia
become reconciled to him had per.
sisted despite the mental cold
shoulder she had sought to bring
to their meeting.
BIT. one glance &c his cold. i'm.
passive features was enough to
convince her that her attitude
really mattered very little. Il was
plain that Rod possessed an atti.
tude Of his own.
All. Of her struggling with her
pride had been in vain. It would
Make 10 difference whether or not
she forgavea him. Even the need
that che felt for n explanation
from him disappsarsa IN tho sure
knowledge that she had lost him.
She might tell him nov that she
knew he had lied q. her and It
wouldn't disturb htmin the least,
