MANY PEOPLE REPORT
BIS GAINS IN WEIGHT
THOUSANDS OF THIN, FRAIL
PEOPLE ARE RESTORED TO
HEALTH BY TAKING
TAN LAC.
FIGURES ARE ASTONISHING
People of Prominence and Unques-
tioned Integrity Tell What Cele-
brated Medicine Has Done
for Them.
^\NB of the most noteworthy fea-
V-J tures in connection with Tanlac
and the one that stands out more prom-
inently than any other, perhaps, is the
very large 'number of well-known men
and women from all parts of the South
who have recently reported astonishing
and rapid increases in weight as a re-
sult of its use.
When so many well-known people
of unquestioned integrity make state-
ment after statement, each corroborat-
ing the other, the truth of such state-
ments can no longer be doubted.
Thousands have testified that this
famous medicine has completely re-
stored them to health and strength,
after every other medicine and the
most skilled medical treatment have
failed.
One of the most remarkable cases on
record is that if Mrs. Viola Ives, of 315
Cross Street, little Rock, Ark., whose
statement appears below.
“In May of 1933,” said Mrs. Ives, “I
Suffered a complete breakdown of my
nerves and my entire system gave
way. About six weeks afterwards I
was carried to the hospital. I became
perfectly helpless—couldn’t'move any
part of my body and just lay there in
bed for five months, not knowing any-
thing or anybody. I was brought home
In October, 1913, and tried all kinds of
medicine and everything I was told
about.
“I read aboht so many people get-
ting relief by taking Tanlac and my
husband got me a bottle. After tak-
ing three bottles I began to~ feel bet-
ter. I have taken several bottles of
Tanlac now and I can walk anywhere
and sleep like a ehfld. When I took
my first dose of Tanlac I weighed only
one hundred and twenty-two pounds.
I now weigh one hundred and sixty-
two—an, actual gain of forty pounds
since I started on Tanlac.”
Texas Man Testifies,
Another remarkable case was that
of- John M. Crabtree, a general mer-
chant at Five Mile Station A, Dallas,
Tex.
“I have actually gained thirty-four
pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and
I now know wThat it is’to enjoy good
health '“after suffering for" twenty
years,” said Mr. Crabtree.
“I suffered with catarrh of the stom-
ach and indigestion for twenty years
and for eighteen months, before I start-
ed taking Tanlac, I had to live almost
entirely on cereals. I spent nearly all
of one whole year in bed and was un-
able to do anything at all and I fell
off in weight to 318 pounds.
“After using my third bottle of Tan-
lac I found I had increased in weight
from 118 pounds to 152 pounds, mak-
ing an actual gain of thirty-four pounds-
—all iny troubles were gone, and I was
feeling like another man.”
Captain Jeff D. Riggs, popular Y. &
M. V. engineer, running between Vicks-
burg and New Orleans and residing at
2020 Pearl Street, Vicksburg, in speak-
ing of his experience with Tanlac,
WAS TWICE EXAMINED AND
TOLD OPERATION WOULD -
BE HER ONLY HOPE.
<tT HAVE just finished my third bot-
•§■ tie of Tanlac and have gained
twenty-seven pounds,” was the truly
remarkable statement made by Mrs,
Charles Peden, residing at 55 Mill
street, Huntsville, Ala.
“When I commenced taking the
medicine,” she continued, “I only,
weighed ninety-eight (9S) pounds ;vnow
I weigh 125 pounds, and never felt
better in my life. For years I have
suffered with a - bad form of stomach
trouble, constipation and pains in my
side and back. At times the pains
took the form of torture, and I was
twice examined and each time I was
told that I had appendicitis and that
an operation would be my only hope.
“I had made all preparations for
the operation and called in my sister
to tell her good-by, as I did not knbw
whether I would live to see her again
or not. My sister begged and pleaded
with me not to allow them to cut on
me and told me to wait and try a good
tonic for awhile. The next day, as
I returned from the consultation room,
I thought of what she said, and as
I had heard so much about Tanlac,
I decided to try it and got a bottle.
“I never returned for the operation,
but just kept taking the Tanlac. Right
from the start I began to feel better.
The medicine seemed to take hold
right at once.
“I was so happy over the wonder-
ful improvement in my condition that
I sent for my neighbors to tell them
how much better I felt. I sent and got
another bottle of Tanlac, and have
just finished taking my third bottle
and feel as if I have been made all
over again into a new woman.
said: “Yes, sir, it’s an actual fact, I
have gained twenty-five pounds on
Tanlac.”
“When I began taking the medicine,”
continued Captain Riggs, “I was sim-
ply a nervous and physical wreck and
had dropped down in weight from one
hundred and forty to one hundred and
ten pounds.
“I have just finished my second
bottle of Tanlac, have gained twenty-
five pounds and I feel like a new man.”
Old Engineer Talks.
Engineer Chas. J. Weeks, who runs
the Seaboard Air Line fast train
“Fox” between Jacksonville and Tam-
pa, bears the distinction of being the
second oldest engineer in point of serv-
ice with this road, having been with
the company for thirty-three years.
“I’ve gained twenty pounds on seven
bottles of Tanlac and feel as well
and happy as I did when a boy,” said
Mr. Weeks.
“For twenty years I suffered with
nervous indigestion of the worst sort,”
he continued, “and at times during the
past fifteen years I didn’t think I
would last much longer. To tell you
the truth, I finally reached the point
where I didn’t much care whether I
lived or died.

S—^ OUNT VON BERNSTORFF’S
I enforced delay at Halifax
f i during the examination made
by the British authorities of
the neutral ship by which the dis-
missed diplomat was journeying, would
have been far less irksome if the voy-
agers had been permitted to visit
the picturesque city, which occupies
a commanding position on the east
slope of a peninsula jutting into the
deep waters of the Bay of Cliebucto
on the southeast coast of the far larger
peninsula of Nova Scotia, says a war
geography bulletin issued by the Na-
tional Geographic society.
From its foundation in 1749 the
town has been a center of British mili-
tary activity and it was established
at the instance of the New England
colonists who had recognized the ad-
vantages of the wonderful harbor
whence D’Anville’s fleet had made its
futile descent upon the New England
coast in the course of the long wur be-
tween France and Great Britain.
Where All Navies Might Float.
The town was the first English-
speaking settlement in the midst of
the French colonies of Acadia and it
speedily took on importance. Within
five years from its founding it became
the seat of British North American
government, and Britons have long
termed it the “warden of the honor of
the north.” Its harbor is deep and
ample and claimed to be sulticient to
float all the navies of Europe. Elev-
en forts command its spacious waters,
and up to 1905 Halifax was an active
center of British activity. In that
year, however, as a mark of friendly
etles which marked the government
house at that period, gave to the place
a.11 intensity of life which it has never
since equaled.
Following the capture of Washing-
ton a British brig and a transport ship
arrived at Halifax' bearing a large
number of fugitive slaves from Vir-
ginia, whose descendants still popu-
late negro colonies on the outskirts of
the town. Another and larger and
more important addition to the popula-
tion of Halifax, however, came at the
conclusion of peace between the moth-
er country and the revolting American
colonies in 37S3, when thousands of
loyalists, preferring the old flag to the
new, left the states and renewed their
British allegiance in Nova Scotia. By
them was laid the foundation of the
now considerable city of St. John,
while many of them settled in Hali-
fax, where they contributed at once
and In no small measure to the enter-
prise of the community and where
their descendants still retain that de-
voticyn to the empire which has had so
remarkable a demonstration in these
last troubled years for Britain’s far-
flung lines. . . .
Halifax has always bee# essentially
English. It is, nevertheless, surround-
ed by the settlements which the earli-
er French had established in that part
of the world, beginning as early as
1604; and it was not until 1710 that
British sovereignty was definitely set
up. By the treaty of Utrecht (1718-
34) the Acadians were permitted to
remain in the country, continuing
their religion, or to leave with their
personal effects. From 1755 to 1762,
SHOWING TNTRANCT. TO GREAT HARBOR,
relations with the United States, all
I British regular troops were with-
: drawn and the care of Halifax and its
! fortifications was committed to the
government of the Dominion of Can-
uda. With the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war, however, Halifax was
again made military and naval head-
quarters for British America, and
many German prisoners have been in-
terned upon the well-guarded islands
of its harbor. Here, too, was the chief
port of embarkation for the numerous
contingents which Canada has con-
tributed to the English armies.
Prominent In Napoleonic Wars.
During the Napoleonic wars Hali-
fax was the scene of many a demon-
stration of English prowess. The. pri-
vateers, fitted out by prominent Hali-
gonians, frequently returned with
their prizes, distinguished French
prisoners made use of the enforced
hospitality of the citadel, built by
Prince Edward, son of George IV,
which still caps the highest ground
and is a landmark far to sea. The
first prizes of the war of 1812 were
brought by their British captors to
Halifax, and it was to this capacious
shelter that the Shannon brought the
captive Chesapeake. It was from Hal-
ifax that the successful naval expedi-
tion against the coast of Maine set
sail, and the succession of prize courts
which followed the arrival of the vic-
tory ships, together with the social gay-
liowever, no fewer than 14,000 Acadi-
ans were forcibly dispossessed and
Longfellow’s “Evangeline” has im-
mortalized their sufferings. . . .
City ar.d Its Surroundings.
The environs of Halifax are delight-
ful. The city is capped by its citadel,
a picturesque Martello tower, and the
arm, a three-mile fiord, is marked by
chain rock, whence a boom used to be
stretched, with a frigate moored in-
side, to repel the enemy. Tho roads
were all laid out by army engineers
with a view to transporting men from
point to point in maximum numbers
and in minimum time, and the result
is a series of beautiful wooded drives
constructed on the soundest principles
of road-malcing and fringed with many
alleys and bridlepaths which lead iuto
the woodland maze.
The harbor is i/ever closed by ice
and the development of the port as
planned by the Dominion government
looks to one of the largest centers of
water transshipment on this side of
the ocean. When completed these im-
provements will find Halifax as the
climax of the grand Canadian trans-
continental railway scheme—the
transshipment point intended to guar-
antee that Canadian goods will be
entirely carried over British soil, the
link in the great British “all red”
transport system of which English
statesmen have long dreamed.

People Insist on This
Kidney Medicine
I have been selling Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root since I first started in the drug busi-
ness and I do not remember of ever receiv-
ing a kick on it. Everyone seems to call
for Swamp-Root knowing that it ia a
fine medicine. I am very well pleased
with the way it sells and always feel that
I am favoring my patrons when I recom-
mend it. Very truly yours,

j With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain i
*
Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot-
tle of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid one’s feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore-
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn’t freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.—adv.

skin diseases. It keeps the skin healthy.
Mrs. Thomas Thompson of Clarks-
ville, Ga., writes: “I suffered 16 years
with tormenting eczema: had the best
doctors to prescribe; but nothing did
me any good until I got Tetteriue. It
cured me. I am so thankful.” Thou-
