Rid of Awful Stomach Trouble Kidney Pains Also Gone. Was Hopeless. Now Feels Fine. Discouraged sufferers will find a message of good cheer in a letter written bv Mr. J. A. Freed, 2938 So. Main St.,‘Elkhart, Ind. He says: “For 15 years I have dreaded the suffering that followed every meal. My stomach felt like a rock was m it, and the gas and bilious attacks made life miserable. I was constipated, sleepless, and tired out all the time. Three years ago my kidneys began bothering me. I am a plasterer by trade, and anyone can imagine how hard it was to work with a back that ached always, and often I was so weak and dizzy I could hardly keep up. I had headaches, heart palpitation, and nobody who hasn't had severe stomach trouble can imagine all the suffering it can cause. When I started taking Viuna, I was about as hopeless as anyone could be. After the first few doses, I found my back had stopped aching. Soon my kidneys were working fine, and stopped bothering me at night. The first thing 1 knew. I was hungry and able to cat, with very little discomfort. Now I can eat big meals without a sign, of gas or indigestion. My constipation is entirely relieved, and I am sleeping soundly and get up every morning feeling just grand. I can’t praise Viuna enough, but think the facts should speak for themselves. Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowrls. lazv liver and weak kidneys. It purifies •ho blood.
