one of the happiest men in the State
today, and Captain C C Blackman
is now telling his many friends it is
all due to the recovery of his health i
by the use of the marvelous new
medicine, Vitona. Captain Black- j
man, who resides at 840 Washing- (
ton street, is a locomotive engineer,
runs fast passenger train No 38, ,
New York to New Orleans Special. '
between Greenville and Atlanta, 1
and is undoubtedly one of the i>est 1
known and most popular railroad
men in South Carolina. It was in
a recent conversation with .1 W Bullock
and Bartow B Henry, that
Captain Blackman related his exjierienee
with Vitona and made the
following statement which lie authorized
published for the benefit
of others:
"When I learned aU>ut Vitona
and decided to try it, I had been
suffering with sciatic rheumatism
for five years. At times my leaders
felt like they were tied in knots and
the pain in my hips was awful. After
sitting down for awhile I couldn't
get up without help and for weeks I
couldn't reach my feet to put on
and take off nay shoes. I could
hardly crawl tnto the cab of my engine
and when I did get in it was
an effort for me to work the throttle.
I lost weight and strength continually.
Nothing I would eat agreed
with me and I had terrible pains in
the pit of my stomach. I was so
weak and crippled up that I had to
hobble around on a cane and was
continually losing time from my
work. When I got to the ends of
my runs I could hardly make it
home. I was so nervous and tacked
with pain 1 could hardly sleep
and I tell you life was more of a
burden than of pleasure.
'My condition seemed to be getting
worse all the time and nothing
seemed to reach my case to help me
until I began taking Vitona. A few
days' use of this medicine proved it
to be just what my system needed,
my leaders became pliant and I
could stoop down and get about
easily. It is the only medicine that I
gave me any relief and since talking '
a few U?ttles I never suffer from ?
rheumatism and don't lose any more
time from my work. I can now
hop into my cab like a boy and
handle my old engine as well as I
could when I tirst.got my run. My
appetite is tine, I can eat anything
I want and enjoy it. and I have
also gained fifteen pounds besides.
No sir, I have no more use for my
walking stick now, my pain and
nervousness are gone. I sleep like
a log and feel like a new man. Yitona
is undoubtedly the finest medicine
on earth and I would go out
of way any time to tell suffering
people aliout it.''
Yitona is now being sotd in Kingstree
exclusively by Kingstree Drug
Co. Also at Lane by S S Aronson;
at Brvan, \Y D Bryan; at Hemingway,
Farmers' Drug Co.
Bank clearings in Charleston last
week were $4,500,000, an igcrease
