Louisville, KY, July 6.-Here is
what Charles Peetz, prominent labor
leader, of lO1 West Market street,
this city, has to say about Tanlac, the
premier preparation, and the benefits
he derived from the use of the medis

suits my case. After using the medi

appetite and digestion are much bet

stronger in every way"
