her name to the thousands praising
this noted medicine. Discussing her
happy experience Mrs. Johnson
‘gratefully stated:
"For about two years I felt so
"dreadfully rundown and weak and
suffered so badly from headaches
“ that I often dreaded to see a new
day dawn. I did not want to eat, I
felt very restless and nervous, and
I don’t believe I got a real night's I
rest for more than a year. I had to
resort to laxatives continually and
if I didn’t I would have those
' dreadful headaches. I felt so draggy
all the time that it was an effort
just to move around the house.
“Retonga gave me relief far be
yond my expectations. I sleep rest-
