had spent hundreds of dollars trying | to get rid of, than all the other medicines he had used put together. “I got the surprise of my life in one bottle of Retonga,” said Mr. Powell. “I have been in bad shape since 1922 and for the last twelve years every time I ate a meal my stomach filled with gas, gave me in- | tense pains and made me feel stuffy | and bloated. My food soured. I had a severe aching that would start in my left side at my waist line and work upward until the whole upper part of my body was in pain. During the day the pain often eased up but always came back at night and hurt so bad that I would toss in pain for hours

tried every way to get rid of my suffering and spent a lot of money but I never got any results until I took Retonga and in one short week it gave me more relief than I had gotten from all the other medicines I have ever used. I have a good appetite, I enjoy my food and never have any more sourness or distress. I get my rest at night and all the pains in my body have disappeared. I am so well pleased with the results I have gotten that I feel it my duty to teil others who suffer as I did, to give this wonderful medicine a trial and get rid of their misery and begin enjoying life again.” The first bottle of Retonga is guaranteed to help you or every cent of its small cost will be refunded. Call at Hook's Dependable Drug Store, S. E. corner Illinois and Washington Sts, and let the Retonga man tell you about this great roots, herbs, and barks medicine.
