She tells her experience as follows: “I suffered agonies with stomach, liver and kidney trouble for seven years, ever since my little girl was born. I was badly constipated, extremely nervous, and simply worn out by loss of sleep and. dreadful pains in my back. I had no pep at all. I was very bilious, had bad dizzy spells, and my complexion turned yellow. I went down to 90 pounds. Gas formed in my stomach every time I ate anything, and the bloating and cramps pained me terribly. Food felt like a rock in my stomach. At times the pains were so intense I could hardly breathe. I thought I would die. Nothing gave me any relief, and I was on the verge of despair when I started to take Viuna. At once I began to improve. My appetite came back, indigestion vanished, and now I eat anything 1 want. I sleep fine, am not nervous any more, and never have those awful dizzy spells. My skin is clear and I’ve gained ten- pounds. Friends nil say how well J look.” Viuua acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lasy liver and weak kidneys. It purities the blood, clears tbe skin, restores appe tite and digestion,and brings new strength anil energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial.
