Tells About His Case For Benefit of Others. "I tried many medicines and Retonga beats anything in my experience," declares Mr. W. P. Peavey, well-known retired merchant and farmer of 116 Park Place, Decatur, Ga.

Mr. Peavey formerly operated a general store at Lawrenceville, and farmed in Gwinnett County. "Anyone who has not suffered from nervous indigestion doesn't know what misery you go through," said Mr. Peavey. "I was afraid to eat the foods I wanted.

So much gas formed in my stomach the gas pains felt like they would cut me in two. I had to use strong laxatives and I almost forgot what restful sleep was. Mornings I felt sO bad I could hardly get into my clothes. "I couldn't name the medicines tried but I would soon be back in the same old rut. Re- anything.

I now eat whatever I want without distress afterward. Sluggish elimination is relieved and I feel lots better. To anyone suffering as I did I feel I am doing them a favor when I suggest that they try Retonga." Retonga is intended to relieve distress due to insufficient flow of digestive juices in the stomach, loss of appetite, Vitamin B-1 deficiency and constipation.
