ipily stated:
Retonga is unquestionably the

■ several years I h^ such se-
e pains in the muscles all over
body that I was unable to walk
and down steps without
ne suffering. I had very little
etite, I cemid scarcely ever ^t
rood night’s deep and I felt
rous and im*erd)le practically
the tane. Sluggish elimim-
also gave me considerable
Ible. I tried treatmente and
licines for years without find-
[S^gr^ve me grand relief.
I have 3 splendid appetite, I sleep
lots better, and best of all, those
severe pains in my muscles are so
relieved that I am now able to
move around freely. Even the
sluggish elimination is relieved. I
feel worlds better generally. Re
tonga is fine”.
Retonga is intended to relieve
distress due to Vitamin B-1 defi
ciency, constipating insufficient
flow of digestive juices in the sto
mach, and loss of appetite. Accept
no substitute. Retonga may be
obtained in North Wilkesboro at
Horton’s Drug Store.—^Adv.
