Only those who have suffered agony for years with stomach or 1 kidney trouble, can realize how won- ’ derful it felt to Mrs. Edna Coffelt, » 351 Gertrude St., Kendallville, Ind., - to be entirely rid of these painful I ailments. She says: “For five years I had a bad case of stomach trouble. Food would not di- ’ gest properly and the gas and bloat--1 ing after meals was almost unbear--1 able. I was subject to frequent bili ious attacks and dizzy spells, and I was weak and nervous all the time. Night brought no relief because my kidneys were disordered and got me I up several times. My back ached terribly, and I had severe pains in my ’ left side. I tried a great many medi--1 cines, but my first and only relief : came when I began taking Viuna. I > felt better right from the first few doses. Soon the awful stomach gas t and pains stopped and my appetite picked up. Now I eat heartily with- , out the least distress. Viuna also relieved my kidney trouble promptly. The back-ache has gone, and my sleep is not disturbed any more. The pain in my side has vanished and so have the biliousness and dizziness. My skin has cleared up and I look and feel better today than I have for years. Viuna surely deserves all the credit for my new-found health and strength, and I heartily recommend it to sick folks.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It puriiiea 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 if you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid l»v Iceland Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.
