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
J 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 X 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.

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
battlefront the finest and most glor
ous pulpit that God ever devised
wl|en he appeared yesterday before
the congregation of the Fifth Ave
nue Presbyterian Church.
"1 could go back to my old church
now as fast as a ship could carry
me," he said, "but I have no desire
to return. 1 want to preach again
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 high tribute to the Red

America should lift his hat in rever

'The glorious wcrk that these no>

never be estimated. Never have tney
shown any hesitancy to succor the
wounded, regardless* of their own

Thousand Farmers to Take
Part in Big Auto Tour
Cne thousand farmers and others
interested in agriculture in 200 au
tomobiles are expected to take part
in a farmers' auto tour of Southern
Dauphin county on June ti under the
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
nounced by H. G. Xiesiey, county
ugpnt, this morn-ng, is "to study and
observe the methods of farming fol
lowed by different farmers in differ
ent communities and to observe the
growing crops, livestock and farm
products at this particular season of
the year."
The trip will be a one-day event
only, and only the southern end of

northern end to be held in late
summer or early fall. City people or
residents of surrounding towns de
siring to accompany the farmers on
this tour will be welcome, Agent
Xiesley announces.

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 numerous
thif year and reported to have win
tered well. This survival and that
of fht quail is declared by Dr. Joseph
Kalbfus to be due to keeping of
birds by sportsmen. "The scattering
of grain has saved Pennsylvania's
game in one of the worst winters
known," says he. "I hone 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. In some counties like Alle-
gheny, the fact that any game re
mains la due to the systematic
scattering of grain. We have been
experimenting with kafflr corn und
millet and would like sportsmen to
plant."

If Food Disagrees
Take Bi-nesia
Costs Nothing If It Fails
Nearly everybody suffers at times
a ,'® r eating. Many can rarely eat
without suffering the most excruciat
ing agony. Some people call this In
digestion. some dyspepsia, others gas-i'
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 81-nrsla. This In
stantly neutralizes the acid and stops
food fermentation, the cause of nine- •}
tenths of all stomach trouble, and thu
enables the stomach to proceed with
digestion in a painless, normal man
ner. Care should be taken to- Insist
on getting the genuine 111-nrala,
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 iftoney hack.—Advertisement.
