what I did manage to eat seemed
only to cause trouble and* give me

from sluggish elimination, ntjf
muscles ached, and my nerves
were so badly on edge that I never

lost weight and I felt so weak
and worn out that 1 did not see
how 1 could keep up my work at

“Retonga promptly relieved all
this haraMing distress, and 1 have
regained ten pounds of my lost

that my work at the school is no
longer a drudgery. I wish all my
