Norris N Smith, of Rome, Ga., Tells of Bad Stomach Condition and What Vijona Did For Him. Home folks?neiehbors?are most frequently the people who know and who are willing to tell the world about the benefits derived from a medicine originated in their midst. When they speak in the highest praise of the tremendous help a medicine is to them, declaring that they would not be without it in their home under any circumstances, and do this without any pecuniary reward, you can always place absolute dependence upon such statements. Here, for instance, is a statement from Norris N Smith. He is a well known real estate man of Rome, Ga, from right near which city the mineral is found from which Vitona is -i- tt.__ \f? cm;o, ao tra I maue. nere is mmt mi uimtu vaj*. "For some time I hail suffered from a general run-down condition. I had a bad stomach trouble of some kind, and could eat and retain but little solid food. Frequently after a meal, even though I would eat very lightly, I would be sick on my stomach, and in a short time would lose what I had eaten. I began using Vitona because I had heard of its good effects, and I was told that it would give me relief. Within one week's time, after taking as directed, I began to show a steady improvement, and in a short time was absolutely cured. I feel entirely well now, and contribute my condition to Vitona. I would not be without it in my house under any circumstances." Not only in cases similar to Mr Smith's, but in all cases of stomach, kidney, liver, catarrhal trouble, Vitona goes straight to the seat of affection. It is a strong and ideal combatant where one is troubled with sleepiness after meals, flushing of face, extreme lassitude, biliousness, dizziness, sick headach^, acidity of the stomach, heartburn, offensive breath, anemia, loss of weight and muscular power, decrease of vitality or lowering of resistance to infec' ? *1 tious diseases, aisiuruaneus ui wic eye, dyspepsia, indigestion, gastritis, and many forms of catarrh, ear affections and allied ailments. Vitona is the new medical discovery that has made such a wondorful record in sales throughout South Carolsna, though introduced into this State only a few weeks ago. Vitona is sold in Kingstree exclusively by Kingstree Drug Co. Also at Lane by S S Aronson; at Bryan, W D Bryan; at Hemingway, Farmers' Drug Co. Otto H Kahn, a wealthy New York banker, announced in a recent address before a loyal convention at Minnsapolis, that everything he made during the war beyond his personal and household expenses, would be given to the government fnr war nurnoses. "I will continue to make legitimate profits during the war." said he and he continued, "this not a rich man's war as some would like to paint it." Complete line of the famous Shipman Organs.

Indiantown church raised $1,800 ' on Sunday, The men of the church planted acres or half acres, the proceeds of which they pledged for the support of our representative missionary in China, who is Miss Elizabeth Neville of Clinton. The proceeds from these acres or half acres were wonderful, but two deserve special mention, Mr C C Royster handing: in his check for $152.00 from a half acre and Mr R D Gamble one for $153.00 from a half acre. When the three missionary societies of the church add their funds to this it will amount to considerably over $2,000.00. They had cause for a great thanksgiving this year.
