it would cut. oi l my breath. I had!
to take .strung purgatives, uridyl j
nev er seemed to get a decent j
night's .-leep. Sharp pains stabbed'
at my shoulders, arms and logs.
"The relief Retonga brought me
was something wonderful. I can
eat and enjoy anything I want to]
now and I have regained so much
of my old strength and energy that
I can now do all of my housework
from morning till night. The mus
cular aches and pains have let up,
I'm no longer high-strung, and I
don't have those crying spells now.
11 am grateful to Retonga."
