I slept so poorly that I dreaded to see night come for I knew I would get up feeling so tired and draggy I could hardly pull myself into my clothes. “Retonga gave me prompt and full relief. I relish hearty meals without discomfort. I haven’t had one of those sick headaches in weeks’; and the constipation has been relieved too. I feel like a different person. Retonga de- MR. R. M.
