Sick and Despondent He
Had Almost Lost
All Hope. .
"I had been a sick man for 12 years, all this
time suffering terrible pains all over my body
and it was impossible for me to do any kind of
work, but thanks to God and your wonderful
Nuga-Tone, I am now entirely well and at work.
Before I finished one bottle of Nuga-Tone, I was
feeling fine," says J. J. A. Sanchez, Sonora,
Arizona.
Lack of sufficient nerve-force causes nine
tenths of human ailments, such as rheumatism,
stomach, liver and kidney trouble. Nuga-Tone
is a grand treatment for lack of nerve-force be
cause it contains just the elements to feed the
nerves and enrich the blood.
Work requires nervous energy and physical
force, without which a man is dormant, downcast,
hopeless, despondent. Nuga-Tone infuses new
life into the stomach, liver and hnwpU cHvpa vmi

iresn impulse given to tne Kidneys and blood
circulation frees the body from its poisonous
toxins and soon you'll feel like a new man and
find your work a pleasure.
