I lost weight and felt bad all over, and although I tried loti of different medicines I jus" seemed to go on suffering. “It would be hard to praise Re tonga enough for the relief U, gave me. The sourness, gas and painful aching muscles are re lieved, I have my old time appe- :tite, and I have regained eigh" pounds. The sluggish eliminati'*’ 1 . is relieved too. I have felt better this past Spring than in years, and I am always telling somebody about Retonga.” Retonga is intended to relieve distress due to Vitamin B-l defi ciency, constipation, insufficient, flow of digestive juices in the stomach, and loss of appetite.
