WATCH WORTH
FULLY $4,000
Finest Time.Piece in Kentucky
Result of Famous
Medicine.

Louisville, KY, April ia very
handsome watch is now on exhibit
ton in this city.
The watch, which is the property
of l.. T. Cooper, the noted "Tanlac
Man" is valued at $500, maybe a
little more. Forty-seven fawless-
cut diamonds are imbedded in its
gold Case, not to mention its equip
ment of pigeon-blood ruby jewels.
This beautiful time-piece is exquis-
itely embellished with ornamental
ton of foreign workmanship and
contains the finest Swiss move
ments. 1t is really worth seeing.
According to Mr.. Cooper. the
watch came into his possession
through the merits of Tanlac. 1t
happened, so he says, about this
way:
In one of the large cities visited
by Mr.. Cooper some time ago, the
young son of wealthy jeweler suf-
fered from a complaint which had
baffied physicians of the city and
Eastern specialists. The boy was
anaemic, listless and not at all play
full and as lively as the other little
fellows of his own age. The parent
said that the child's appetite was
irregular, at times ravenous and
that he was extremely nervous, and
complained of twitching sensation
most of the time. Itching of the
nose and dizziness were other symp-
toms enumerated by the jeweler.
Gle asked me-" said Mr.. Cooper,
'if I thought Tanlac would help his
child. In reply, l stated that he
could test the medicine on its own
merits. The result was that he
bought Tanlac for HIS son.
Thinking nothing particularly
of the incident, was a little sur
prised a few months later to re-
ceive a letter from the jeweler,
stating that Tanlac had relieved his
son, who was now rosy and running
about like the rest of the boys and
asking me if would accept a small
token of his appreciation l an
swered his letter, telling him that
while I would appreciate his gift,
the fact that Tanlac had accomplish
ed the right results in his child's
case was sufficiently gratifying to-
me.
Shortly afterward this beautiful
watch came. You can imagine my
surprise. To me this gift is inval-
liable. because it bears a double
meaning"

now be bought in Hartford at the
