FEELING FINE, ENGINEER
GIVES RETONGA CREDIT
‘•After What It Did For Me
I Am Recommending It To
All My Friends,” Declares
Veteran Locomotive Man.
Tells About His Own Case.
Hundreds of railroad men are
praising Retonga and among
them the latest is Mr. E. B. Mc
Millan, well-known retired loco
motive engineer of the N. C. &
St. L. Ry., who for 44 years ran
between Nashville and Chatta
nooga.
“After what Retonga did for
me I am recommending it to all
my friends,” declares Mr. McMil
lan, who resides in the Watauga
Apts., on Park Ave., Nashville,
Tenn. “For about seven years I
was subject to atacks of irregu
lar bowels and after these at
tacks I felt so weakened that
sometimes I could hardly navi
gate at all. My appetite went
back on me and what I did eat
did not seem to digest properly.
I felt fagged out, restless and
out of sorts from head to foot.
I spent lots of money on treat
ments and medicines but seemed
to get nowhere.
"Retonga gave me prompt re
lief after everything else I tried
had failed. My appetite returned,
food seems {o agree with me and
I sleep fine every night. I am
always ready for a hearty break
fast now, another day with my
friends up town. I feel better
than in years, and Retonga de
serves the credit.”
Why not try this famous medi
cine? Retonga is intended to re
lieve distress due to insuffici
ent flow of digestive juices in
the stomach, loss of appetite,
Vitamin B-l deficiency and con
stipation. Accept no substitute.
