Health Returns to a Weil-
Known Woodbine Car
penter After Suffering for
Years With Stomach and
Liver Troubles After Tak
ing Three Bottles of
Tonall
"It seems hardly possible that I
am the same man that was so tired
and miserable a few weeks ago. I did
not care what became of me," says
Joseph C. Wilson, of Woodbine, Pa.
I cannot tell how many different
kinds of medicine I had taken and
I desire to forget them as they did
me no good.
"I saw Tonall advertised and heard
so much about the different roots,
herbs and barks it contained, I just
thought I would give it a trial, and
the results I have obtained have been
far greater than 1 ever expected.
Why, all my acquaintances, as soon
as they see me, say: 'What in the
world are you doing or taking? You
look so good.' It is wonderful! Just
tell the world Tonall did for me what
other medicines failed to do."
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' drugstore,
Harrisburg, where its merits are be
ing explained by the Tonall chemist,
and a free sample bottle given this
week and also at the Hershey drug
store, Hershey, Pa.
Plenty of Food But
Starving to Death
Thousands Of People Get
No Nourishment From
The Food They Eat
Thouasnds of people who are
pale, thin, weak and run down are
literally starving to death because
their system in its weakened condi
tion is unable to take up the nour
ishment which the food they eat
contains. To such people Father
John's Medicine is of great value be
cause it has vast food value and the
pure wholesome nourishment which
it contains is easily taken up by the
weakened system and turned into
tissue, muscle and flesh. Because
of the fact that Father John's Medi
cine is guaranteed free from alco
hol or dangerous drugs in any form
whatever it is the safe tonic and
body builder for younger children
as well as older people. Begin tak

TUESDAY EVENING,
Battlefield World's
Best Pulpit, Black
Watch Chaplain Says
New York, May 27. —The Rev.
Laughlan Maclean, D. D., formerly!
pastor of one of the most fashion-■
able churches in Edinsburgh, and;
now a major and chaplain for the'
Black Watch Regiment, called the 1
battlefront the finest and most glor- (
ous pulpit that God ever devi3ed
wi|en he appeared yesterday before
the congregation of the Fifth Ave-'
nuc Presbyterian Church.
"I could go back to my old church
now as fast as a ship could oavry j
me," he said, "but I have no desire
to return. 1 want to preach again t
in the finest and most glorious pu.-;
pft that God ever devised, and that
is located, in the land of the brave
at the battlefront overseas."
He paid a higli tribute to the Re:l
Cross, and said thi.l every man in
America should lift his hat in rever- ,
ance as the emblem passes by.
"The glorious work that these no' 1
ble women are doing." he said, "can
never be estimated. Never have tne.v
shown any hesitancy to succor the
wounded, regardless* of their own
personal danger."
Thousand Farmers to Take
Part in Big Auto Tour
fine thousand farmers and others j
interested in agriculture in 200 au- ,
toniobilcs are expected to take part ;
in a farmers' auto tour of Southern |
Dauphin county on June (J under the i
auspices of the Dauphin County \
Farm Bureau. Preliminary plans
for this tour were made on Satur
day evening at a meeting of the ex
ecutive committee at the Farm
Bureau office in the Spooner build
ing.
The purpose of this tour is an- ]
nouncecl by H. G. Niesley, county '
agent, this morn-ng, is "to study and j
observe the methods of farming fol- !
lowed by different farmers in differ- 1
ent communities and to observe the I
growing crops, livestock and farm !
products at this particular season of j
the year."
The trip will be a one-day event I
only, and only the southern end of j
the county will be covered. It was ,
thought impossible to cover the en- j
tire county in one day, so the tour I
of the southern end is being made j
at this time with a tour of the j
northern end to be held in late j
summer or early fall. City people or
residents of surrounding towns de- I
siring to accompany the farmers on j
this tour will be welcome, Agent ■
Niesley announces.

of This Game Bird, Too

ring-necked pheasants along the
lines of the campaign planned for

Hundreds of eggs of pheasants are
being shipped from contractors in
eastern counties to game protectors
who are placing them in hands of
sportsmen's associations who have
agreed to see that these birds are
progagated. The state contracted
for 11,000 eggs and many are now
under hens.
Reports have shown that pheas
ants have wintered fairly well, but
'hat they have been so extensively
hunted that something will have to
be done to protect them. Similar
statements are being made about
wild turkeys which are nuw-ous
this year and reported to havtj win
tered well. This survival and that
of the quail is declared by Dr. Joseph
Kalbfus to be due to th% keeping of
birds by sportsmen. "The scattering
of grain has saved Pennsylvania's
game in one of the worst winters
known," says he. "I hope it will be
come general. The sportsmen of
Pennsylvania can save the game for
themselves and preserve many birds
for farmers If they will feed the
birds. Tn some counties like Alle-
Sheny, the fact that any game re
mains la due to the systematic
scattering of grain. We have been
experimenting with kaffir corn and
millet and would like sportsmen to
plant."

If Food Disagrees
Take Bi-nesia
Costs Nothing If It Fails
Nearly everybody suffers at times
after eating. Many can rarely eat
without suffering the most excruciat
ing agony. Some people call this In-,
digestion, some dyspepsia, others gas
tritis; but no matter what you call
it, no matter how many remedies or
how many doctors you may have tried
—instant and almost invariable relief
may be obtained by taking in a little
hot water a teaspoonful of a simple
neutrate, such as Rl-nenla. This in
stantly neutralizes the acid and stops
food fermentation, the cause of nine
tenths of all stomach trouble, and thus
enables the stomach to proceed with
digestion in a painless, normal man*
ner. Care should be taken to-insist
on getting the genuine 81-neala,
which, owing to its marvelous proper
ties, is now sold by Geo. A. Gorgas
and leading druggists everywhere
under a binding guarantee of satisfac
tion or rifioney back.—Advertisement.
