Praises Van-Tage For
Relief !
Mrs. Geo. Pontine, of 3144 N. TE.

clnity who now praises and endorses

Great Interest by hundreds or people.
Tells How She Suffered
For 20 Long Years!
"For about '10 years I had been
suffering wtih a gassy stomach, slug
gish kidneys and curonic constipa
tion," said Mrs. Ponting. "I got reg
ular LOADS OP OAS In my stomach
after I ate and sometimes this gas
would push up into my chest and
crowd my heart until I thought It
would stop beating, and I got so short
of breath that the least little thing
would exhaust me and take my
breath away. I had sick headaches
from this gaseous condition even
had them in the night, and would
have to gel up and lake something
before I could get to sleep again.
Sluggish kidneys got me up during
the night and I had such a misery
In my back that I can t describe It.
Was always stiff and sore In my back
and could hardly stoop over and
sometimes this aching and soreness
went down Into my legs and hurt so
bad that every step made me flinch.
My bowels were constipated and I
had to take a strong laxative every
night.
Finally I started taking Van-Tage
and began to gel better right away.
Now the tight stuffy feeling in my
chest has been relieved and I don't
get exhausted or short of breath
like I did. I sleep fine now without
having to relieve my kidneys because
Van-Tage has helped flush out the
impurities that caused my night ris
ing, and the sharp pains in my back
and legs have eaed up so mat I
don't feel sore or stiff and this is a
wonderful relief to me. The sick
headaches don't come over me like
they did. Van-Tage had a line laxa
tive action on my bowels. 100. and
brought great relief from that slug
gish, constipated condition, and I
don't have to take those awful phy
sics like I used to. I feel that Van
Tage was a Real God-send to me and
I gladly give It my public endorse
ment." Only Costs Few Cents a
Day to Take Van-Tage
You have read the Remarkable
Statement above, describing what
Van-Tage did for this widely-known
lady. Now. bear this In mind, that Is:
Due to Immense Volume In which
it sells. The Price of Van-Tage Is
Reasonable. You can take this Great
Medicine for Just a few cents per day
So don't hesitate. Oet Van-Tage
NOW!
VAN-TAGE Is now being Intro
duced to crowds dally In Salem, it
