Bad Stomach Caused 5 Fearful Suffering Was Bloated, Nervous, Sleepless and Dizzy. Entirely Well Now. “I suffered with a breakdown five years ago. It just seemed as if everything was the matter with me. I had blood pressure, a bad stomach, constipation, and I was so nervous I would just shake. I could not sleep at night. My nerves just jumped. My stomach would bloat and cramp and the gas would press back my heart till I thought maybe I had organic heart trouble. My bowels would hardly move even with a laxative, and never without one. I had dizzy spells and would stagger and almost fall. I did not have any appetite, and what I did eat wouldn’t stay down. I tried different medicines, but only got a little relief. Then hearing from friends about Viuna, I started taking it. Right from the first it helped me, and now I feel fine, as good as I ever did in my life. I eat anything and everything, have a good appetite, my bowels are in good shape, my nervousness is practically gone. I am a man 70 years of age, and if Viuna helps everyone like it has me, it sure is wonderful.”—Alexander Black, Gaston, Ind. Vitina acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver aud weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then it you're not glad you tried Viuna. your money will be refunded. *1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.
