"I suffered with stomach trouble for twenty years. I was bloated and at times I felt as if there was a rock lying in the pit of my stomach. My kidneys were weak and I had to get up several times during the night. My back ached all the time. Nothing I ate did me any good, and I tried different medicines without improving. Then a friend told me to try Viuna. The first bottle made me feel better and so I kept right on. When I started in I only weighed 145 pounds; now I weigh 157 pounds, a gain of 12 pounds, and I feel fine. Don’t have anystrouble with my stomach any more and can sit down to the table and eat a good hearty meal without one bit of fear. I don’t have any trouble with my kidneys and back, either.-All the pains have gone. My constipation is entirely gone, and I want to say Viuna did it all." —Chas..L.
