Used New Tonic
As a Last Resort!
And Found a Speedy Relief For]
Physical Distresses?Statement
of Charles Klenseen
Mr. Charles Klenseen, of Williamsburg
Avenue, city, made the following state?
ment rerently in connection with "Tona
Vita," the remarkable new tonic that is
now being introduced in Richmond.
"For some time I had been utterly mis?
erable with stomach trouble. After eating
I suffered extreme discomfort and had
gaa form to surh an extent that I was
constantly belching. I wa- nervous and
much run down. I tried 'Tona Vita' as
a last rcse,rt. and am pleased to say that [
it cave me great relief, and continued
doing so until I am now cured. I have no
niedre gastric fermentation, and I eat any?
thing I please. My nervousness has left
me. and I have gained a great deal in'
weight. It is a pleasure to recommend I
-ui h a wonderful remedy as 'Tona Vita.' "
Such a ststcment as the foregoing
should prove of unusual interest to those
suffering with similar troubles. The spe?
cialists who are introducing "Tona Vita"
state that members of any family in
Richmond arc likely to be found suffering
with the same nervous, debilitated con?
dition of the body, as it is an all tor, com?
mon complaint in the large towns, where
nature".-, law- arc apt to be disregarded.
"All of this nervous, debilitated trou?
ble." raid one of the specialists, "is due
principally to imperfect digestion, which
i- siiperineluced by the strain of modern
city life. There is too much hastily eaten
food.
"Most people, however, arc not seri?
ously affected by imperfect iligestion,"
continued he. "They arc just loggy and
nervous and easily tired. They feel 'worn
out' after a little exertion, and are moody
and depressed. These are sure symptoms
of an overworked stomach that needs ton?
ing up and regulating. 'Tona Vita' will
positively accomplish this, toning up and
restoring the organs to their healthy, nor?
mal condition. Our preparation must
prove satisfactory or wc will not take the
money for it."
Enthusiasm continues to prevail gen?
erally where the ne^v product called "Tona
Vila ' has been used. The great amount
of good which seems to have been accom?
plished is the cause of considerable com?
ment by those who have seen its wonder?
ful work. Case after case of persons who
were comparatively nervous wrecks and
had been sufferers frtim stomach trouble
for years has been reported, and the re?
sults of "Tona Vita" are said to have been
astonishing in nearly every instance.
The " Tuna Vita" specialists will be at
the Polk Miller Drug Company, Xo. S.54
East Main Street, between the hours of
9 A. M. to S P. M. daily to meet the
public and explain ihe nature of that
modern plague, nervous debility, and
demonstrate the value of their remark?
able rcniedv.

PROTESTANT NAMED
CHAPLAIN TO COURT
Until Present Reign French and

BY I.A MAltai l*K UK PONTTXOY.
QgtSEN WIMIKI.MIXA ., actlor
in appointing t< 11 .lavs since I
the French Protestun pastor;
Uov. M K. Lacheret. us Kreuch
chaplain to her coiirt, sorvcs to recall
the fact thai until the present reign !
French, and not Dutch, was the court i
language In the Netherlands
Whenever the late Kins William III . I
his nisi Queen and his two sons (who
predeceased him) intended church, ser?
vice was always celebrated in French,]
by a court chaplain, usually a nalivu
of Prance or French Swltserland. But,
on the death of William III. his widow.
ih. . Regent Queen Kjima. his second
wife, tmiugii bred a Lutho.an, not:
only caused Wllhelin'na to bo in- ]
miu ted i>y Dutch clergymen, but her?
self attended Divine service in the;
popular tongue with the Htt?o Queen
French also, at her instance, was dt?-'
cttiui-u as a court language. Too resi?
dent Kreuch court chaplain was, how?
ever, retained in ofllce as a permanent
member of the royal household, neitherI
the regent nor her daugntor Wishing
to let the spiritual adviser of the latu
King depart.
When this pastor died tho other day.
tho question arose whether it would
not be well to abolish the oftlcj, b? Ui
the Uowagtr Queen and tho Prince
Consort being in favor of so doing;
ion ?ja... i. w ilhelmina thought other?
wise. She could not torget tne Kreuch
origin of the House of Oraiig-.', n*?r
ii, tact that the Walloons formerly
were subjects of. the- Dutch crown, i
fall sized Walloon population still ex?
isting in the country to-day. Accord?
ingly she refused to do away with
the ofllce, but has, however, placed it
on a new basis.
The Rev. M. 13. Lachorot, who has
for twenty yearn pest been one of tho
leading Protestant clergymen in Paris,
is to retain his Parisian home and
charge, but will recelvo tho title of
chaplain to the Dutch court, and 9VI
be summoned from time to time, as
his services aro desired. Her decision
in the matter is extremely popular
at The Hague, where Pastor Lacncrti
spent the lirsi lifteen years of his min?
isterial life. In charge of the Wall ion
church, and throughout the country.
According to authentic reports from
an eminent Berlin physician summoned
by the Sultan to huloulco to examine
into the condition of his elder brother
and predecessor on the tlirouc, Abdul
Hamid, who was us thin as a reed be?
fore Iiis deposition, has now become
not merely fat, but extremely obese,
owing ui his sedentary harms.
At the time when tho Berlin special?
ist saw him, more than Tour months
had elapsed since he "ad emitted his
apartments o: set foot in the exten?
sive grounds?a very beautiful park?
surrounding the Villa Latlni, where he
has been connned since his overthrow.
Two regular medical men, surgeons
of the Turkish army, who have re?
ceived their medical training in Ger?
many and Austria respectively, are in
dally attendance upon him, and their
l ask is no easy one, as tho utmost
tact, forbearance and patience are re?
quired of them, and the suspicion of
the patient frequently necessitates their
taking doses of their own medicine in
lila presence.
Sometimes lie solects ono of his body
servants, by preference his chief valet,
for the preliminary taste. Not Ions;
agu a mixiur? containing quinine was
prescribed. A trial dose was duly ad?
ministered to tho secona valet. New
to tlie duty, he, finding It very bitter,
made a frightful face, whereat Abdul
seized the bottle and dumped out the
I contents. On the same day he sent to
! inquire whether the valet was still
alive, and great was his astonishment
when the. man presented nimself, cheer?
ful, hearty and none tho worse.
The ex-Sultan Is equally exacting as
to his food. The ordeal of tasting is ex?
clusively reserved for the chief cook.
The dethroned Padishah has a marked
fondness for pilaff, a oertaln Turkish
dish prepared with rlco and finely
> hopped meat. When a. dish is
brought to the ex-Sultan's table, the
eim r cook accompanies it and stands at
attention like a soldier awaiting
orders. Abdul, armed with a large
spoon, will hover indecisively over the
dish for a second or two. Then, hav?
ing selected thu point of attack, lie
will plunge the spoon into the heart
of the steaming hot mass, and, with?
drawing it tilled, liand tne spoon to
the cjok. If that functionary should
evince the least hesitation in sampling
the contents, the dish is at once re?
jected by tho suspicious Abdul.
Sir Bryan Lelghton, who has come
into prominence these days, owing to
his invention of a chute-like contriv?
ance for launching life-noats from the
lofty de-ks of ocean liners, Is the only
(Englishman of title who has served
under the American Hag In recent
years, having enlisted as a volunteer
at the outbreak of the war with Spain,
lie served In the ranks from the be?
ginning of the conflict right through
to the end and made many friends.
Two years later he was engaged in
the South African war. fighting for
his own country, as an officer of tho
Imperial Light Horse, commanded by
Colonel ChlBholmo. When peace was
i restored, he sought further excitement
I in Mexico, hunting the -wild sheep.
, These proved to be more formidable
' than either the Spaniards or the Boers,
In his case. For lie fell und smashed
his knee-cap while stalking that shy
I and active American counterpart of
ihe chamois, Being thus Incapacitated,
for a time at least, from active moun?
taineering, he went back home to his
beautiful country place, in Shropshire,
known as Loton Park, which has been
in his family for a couple of centuries,
the entire estate comprising about 5,
00" acres.
Here he Is s county magnate, a
justice of the peace, ?> a m^jor of
Yeomanry. He is the ninth baronet
of his line, the title having been con?
ferred by William III.. In recognition
of the part which Edward L'tighton
played in bringing about the succession
of William of Orange to the throne of
Kligland.
' AppropOs of Sir Bryan's invention, it
will be remembered that a prize of

Tli? marriage of Maude G?nne, the
"Irish Joan of Arc." as sne was Called
for u time, was not a happy one. |
Neither was that of he: visier. Katli-'
leen, who has Just secured a dlvorcn
from her husband, Major-General
Thomas David Plldher, C. B., former!)
? ?f tii.- Fifth Fusiliers, and afterwards
In tho Bedfordshire regiment, where
he was sei ond in command, the rank
of major-general being conferred upon
him in 190". There was no defense
to the wife's suit, and the custody of
tiie four children of the marriage was
given to her by the court. The evi?
dence in the case went to show that
the general married Kathleen Gonne
for her money, more than tor love,
and gr?w more and more neglectful
as the years passed, until It was Im?
possible for her to continue enduring
the life he made for iler.
