MINISTER AND WIFE
GRATEFUL TO RETONGA
Mrs. Bates Could Eat Only
Soft Food and Says She Al
most Lost Hope of Feeling
But No One More Appre
ciative Of Relief Retonga
Gave, She States.
Grateful for relief from almost
unbearable suffering rom nervous
indigestion, along with kindred
distresses, the Rev. B. C. Bates,
highly respected minister of Aus
tell, Ga., Route 1, and his beloved
wife, have joined the thousands
gratefully praising Retonga.
•I don’t believe anyone could
have suffered worse distress than
I did from gas bloating and gassy
heartburn,” said Mrs. Bates. ‘‘Sol
id foods seemed heavy as lead in
my stomach, and I just forced
down, a little soft food like soups
and broths.. I lost weight and
felt highstrung. Strong laxatives
became a habit and my muscles
ached until I could hardly stand
it. I hardly knew what a good
night’s sleep wais and most morn
ings I felt so worn out that my
housework just had to go un
done. My husband also suffered
badly from acid indigestion. I
almost lost hope of ever feeling
much better..
“No one could be more thank
ful for the relief Retonga brought
them. I now relish my food, feel
much stronger and am regaining
lost weight. I sleep restfaPy and
hardly ever notice any aches or
pains, and strong laxatives are not
needed now. Both of ns heartily
recommend Retcmga. It is grand."
Retonga is intended to relieve
distress due to insufficient flow
of digestive juices in the stom
ach, loss of appetite. Vitamin B
1 deficiency and constipation. Ac
cept no substitute. Retonga may
be obtained at Rosemary Drug Co.
