Rheumatism and Gen
eral Run Down Sys
tem of Long Standing
Conquered byTonall.,
"1 was a miserable soul," says
John Bomberger. of Reistville. Leba
non county. Pa. "My whole system j
was run down so much and I had
rheumatism so badly at times that|
1 could not walk without the use cfi
a cane and my ankles would be so
swollen that 1 could not lace up my
shoes, especially after a cold spell of
weather. Why my system was in uj
horrible condition. My stomach was
not right no matter what I ate. I
would set dreadful sick a-fterwards.
Even water made me vomit. I suf
fered untold agonies ar.d tried lots
of medicines without receiving any
benefits. so 1 made up my mind that
1 would just have to keep on suf
fering. but I was given a sample
bottle Of Tonall and it done me so
much good that I at once bought a
bottle and I am to-day in better
health than I have been for years
and I have not had a spell of rheu
matism since I commenced taking
Tonall. I now eat anything my ap
petite desires and food certainly is
nourishing me now as I am stronger
than I have been for years.
The above testimony was given
on January 14. 191 S.
Tonall is sold at Gorgas's Drug

TUESDAY EVENING,
i
however, there are numerous reports
circulated In Army circles as to the
part which the advices show was i
played by the Americans.
(irriuaa I.oases Kiond Our*
It Is understood that General |
Pershing does not minimize the'
American losses, which were rela
tively heavy, and the War Depart- ;
ment after receiving General Persh
ing's dispatch declines to deny the j
German report that IS3 American;
prisoners were captured. But it is,
said that Genera! Pershing reported ;
the German losses considerably in'
excess of the American losses.
At least 500 were accounted for In
the righting near Seicheprey. and in;
addition it is understood that a con
siderable ni/mber of German prison-)
ers have been captured by the French
and Americans in the <Wunterassault
which drove the enemy back from
the advanced position he had tem
porarily gained.
One particularly Interesting bit of
information concerning the resist
ance which Americans have on this
and previous occasions offered to the
German storm troops is that the.
Americans have surprised the ad- •
vancing Germans by making effec
tive use of sawed-off double-barreled
shotguns of the type used by stage
coach drivers in the West.
H 10.000 Suck Arm*
It is said that General Pershing
some time ago surprised the War De
partment by putting in a request for
10.000 of these weapons. Officers
here who have been following the
practice of giving Pershing what he
wants were at a loss to know just
what he intended to do with them.
It is now reported that men in the
American sectors which the Germans
attacked were armed with these
shotguns as additional weapons of
defense and that the sprays of widely
scattered buckshot tended to break
the morale of the advancing Ger
mans.
As to the fighting near Seiclieprey.
it is understood that the Germans be- ,
gan sending over quantities of poison
gas shells during the night preced- ;
ing the attack. At the same time a j
steady and severe bombardment of
the American trenches was main- j
tained. This served as a warning to j
the Americans that an infantry as- .
sault was sure to follow at dawn and I
their predictions were borne out, for
the German shock troops came over
in force early in the morning.
Cmpelled to Yield Seicheprey
The attaching waves of Germans |
met with effective resistance at near- t
ly all points, but the enemy man- I
aged to get a foothold in a few j
places and by throwing in over- j
whelming numbers at these points (
they forced the issue and made it
necessary for the Americans to fall |
back. The development of the Ger- j
man attack necessitated the evacua
tion of the village of Seicheprey by i
the Americans and gave the Germans
a distinct initial advantage.
Pershing's men, however, were at
once gathered for a counterassault
ar.c* French troops which had become
involved in the German advance co
operated with the Americans. This .
counterattack was launched about
noon and was carried through with
such elan that the Germans were
driven out of Seicheprey and also
out of a neighboring woods, where
they had attempted to make a stand, j
By late in the afternoon the Amer
ican position was restored and the i
Germans had left the ground strewn j
with dead.
Count 300 German Dead
on American Front at Tool,
By Associated Press
With the American Arm> in
France. April 21.—Reports coming '
in to-day relative to the light in the j
Toul sector show that the losses sus- ;
tained were no larger than what j
could reasonably be expected from j
such an engagement, which was the 1
most severe of any in which the j
American troops have taken part. ,
The losses of the enemy on the j
other hand, were much greater than !
he had expected, as is evidenced by !
more than 300 dead Germans in the
American trenches and in No Man's
Land. His losses in wounded are
unknown, as disabled men were
dragged back to the German
trenches.
"Tel! them back home that we are
just beginning." said a lad who was
in the thick of the fighting of Satur
day at Seicheprey. his back now al- j
most perforated with shrapnel. "It
was fine to see our men go at the
Huns. All of us who thought base
ball was the great American game
have changed our minds. There is i
only one game to keep the American
flag flying—that is, kill the Huns. I
got several before they got me."

Dandruff Soon
Ruins The Hair '
Girls —If you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entireb.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid nrvon: apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the linger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It
is inexpensive and four ounces is all
• you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.
