Couldn’t Sleep, Stomach Hurt So Suffered for Years. Finally Found Relief. Perfectly Well Now. Readers who can’t eat without gas or pain, will be interested in reading how Mrs. Ada A. Shoemaker, 449 Lindly Street, Huntington, Ind., recovered her health. She writes: “I had stomach trouble for 3 years. After meals, gas formed in distressing quantities, and I would turn weak and dizzy and had a choking sensation in my throat so bad 1 thought I had goitre. Food felt like a rock in my stomach and caused such heartburn and shortness of breath that I couldn’t walk far or do anything else without stopping and sitting down to rest. Often, at night, I’ve had to get out of bed and sit in a chair, because my stomach felt so wretched. Four doses of Viuna brought me wonderful relief, and now my troubles have vanished. I am eating anything, without a sign of gas or pain or dizziness, and the choking sensation in my throat is all gone. lam sleeping soundly all night long and feeling better every day. It seems wonderful that any medicine could give sueh quick and lasting relief as Viuna has given me.” Viuna acts promptly on oliiggish bowelff, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digest ion, and brings new strength and energy to tin* whole body. Take a bo.ttle on trial.

THE COUGH OR COLO THAT HANGS ON jVrsLtrnt coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits g> rm growth. Os ail known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throgt troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, oilier healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks Xe growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist, (adv.) (j ie Limberlcst Washing Powder.
