"Retonga proved to me that it is just as good as people say it is”, declares Mrs. Mollie Graveley of 709 North Trade St., a well known and highly respected resident of Winston-Salem for more than thirty years. Discussing her hap ' py relief through this noted gas tric tonic and Vitamin B-l med icine Mrs. Graveley states: "I felt so nervous and rundown that I was almost completely dis couraged. My food would sour in my stomach and form gas un til I could hardly breathe. My head often ached so I felt like the top of it would simply come off. I had to take strong medicines all the time, and my limbs ached so bad that I did not feel like stirring out of my chair. My nerves were at a high pitch, and MRS. MOLLIE GRAVELEY every day seemed to find me feel ing a little worse. “Retonga gave me perfectly grand relief. The sour indigestion is relieved, and food tastes right again. I have not had a headache in some time, the constipation is relieved, and my nerves are so calm that it is a perfect joy to sleep as well as I do now. I am one of the most grateful women in North Carolina for this grand Retonga.” Thousands praise Retonga. Ac cept no substitute. Retonga may be obtained at Rosemary Drug Co. (Adv.)
