RID OF AWFUL
STOMACH TROUBLE
Back-ache and Rheumatism Also
Left Her. Health Quickly
Restored.

Discouraged sufferers will find a
message of good cheer in a letter
written by Mrs. Eva Reynolds, 149
S. West Ave-, Kankakee, Ill. She
says:
81 was in pain and misery for
years with stomach and kidney
troubles, back-ache and rheuma-
tism. After every meal, gas pains
would torture me for hours, and
food felt like a rock in my stomach.
I had back-ache all the time, pains
around my heart, and the sharp
rheumatic pains shot all through
my body. I was SO sick and in such
agony that I was almost in despair
when I finally consented to try
Viuna. That was the turning point.
The first weak I felt decidedly bet
ter, and today every sign of pain
has left me. My appetite and di-
gestion are fine, no gas, no distress
of any kind. It seems wonderful to
be entirely free from rheumatism
anc 1ack-ache. I am no longer con-
stipated, my complexion has cleared
up, and am full of energy where
I used to be so weak and draggy.
Viuna brought hack my health,
after had given UP hope of ever
being well again"
Viuna has worked wonders in
thousands of desperate cases of kid
ney trouble, back-ache, stomach
trouble and rheumatism. 1t may
be the making of you. Try one bot
tie under positive guaranty. 81 at

DIRECTS RUBBER
PLANTATION FOR
FORD IN BRAZIL
Former Indianapolis Man
Builds Jungle City; Here
for Visit.

Director of 100000 investment
which seeks to break down the Brit
ish monopoly in world rubber. con-
sorting with presidents of South
American nations, and constructing
a jungle city in the heart of Brazil
are high points in the quick rise OF
Harry Braunstein, former Indian
apolis man, in the organization Of
the Ford Motor Company.
BraunStein, who was employed by
the Ford company as a stockman in
Indianapolis in 1923, has been visit
ing relatives and friends in this city
on short furlough from his JOB
as general manager for the Ford
interests at Rio de Janiero. He left
Sunday for New York City to return
to Brazil. He will sail on the
Southern Cross March 9.
City" Built in Jungle
The meteSric rise of the Indian
apolis mar from a stock clerk to a
factor, political as well as business,
in South America came in 1923
when the Ford company needed a
man with linguistic abilities as well
as the capacity to direct men.
Braunstein is in charge of the vast
plantation purchased in the heart of
the Brazil rubber country by Ford to
bring America and his own company
rubber without bowling to the rubber
prices set by the British trust.
In telling of the plantation bought
by Ford and the jungle city being
built by him, Braunstein says that
churches, hospitals, recreationaI
grounds, schools, a water filtration
plant in addition to buildings
requisite for handling virgin rubber
are being built by Ford in what once
was wasted jungle acreage.
1000 Men Employed
1.-THE plantation is employing at
present 1000 men but the neces-
sary quarters are being erected to
house and care for $4,000 men if
necessary" he said.
With the affairs of South Alneri-
ca at his fnger-tips due to his meet
ing with the Brazilian cabinet So
cially as we'll as in a business way
Braunstein expresses the belief that
HooVer's trip to South America was
"the best thing he could have done"
"It bound Americas friendship
tighter not only with Brazil but
with other nations"
Braunstein despite his American
nativity speaks with latin accent
due to his years spent in Brazil and
in the Canal Zone.
Wife Accompanies Him
81 speak Portuguese the major
part of the tirne-except when I'm
at home. My daughter. Jane Evelyn,
6, speaks Portuguese as fluently as
English All the Ford workers are
Brazilians or foreigners with the ex-
ception of a few men in charge of
the plantation construction work"
He forecast that the Ford as
sembling plants in Brazil would
place $4,000 cars in owners hands
during the present year.
Mrs. Braunstein accompanied
her husband on the visit to America.
She was formerly Miss Hazel Bren-
don of this city. During their stay
in Indianapolis the Braunsteins re-
sided with Mrs. Braunstein's mother,
Mrs. Anne Brendon, 127 West
