[. r. CARTWR|GHT SUFFERED FOR
 TWENTY YEARS
Declares He Is Now as Well and Strong as He Ever
 Was in His Life

For 20 years I have suffered with oa- tarrh in my head and throat. Everybody who knows me, and know a great many people, knows this to be fact" said C. F Cartwright. who lives in Alton Park Chattanooga. %
 Every night my head would be so stopped up I could harly breathe, and l would have choking feeling and short ness of breath that nearly drove mo wild. I guess had catarrh of the stomach, too. because I had indigestion most of the time. In fact, I have not had a well day for years. and have been so nervous and restless I simply dreaded to see night come because I could not sleep, and to tell the truth. was so weak and run down I have not been able to do any work, for I don't know how long. No kind of medi- cine, and took nearly everything, seemed to help me particle until I heard of this Tanlac. My son-in-iaw induced me to try it. He said he had been hearing lots about it.
 T have used two bottles of the medi- cine and am proud to say believe am as well and strong as l ever was. My appetite and digestion have improved and I am gaining right along. l sleep good at night and can breathe fine. no longer have those choking, smothering sensa- tions like I used to have. Everybody cer- tainly ought to know about this medicine for it surely has done wonders for 're The only thing I hate is that l did not hear about it years ago, as I believe Il would have saved me lots of suffering.
 ''The mental and physical state of chronic catarrh sufferers, is indeed, very unfortunate" said the Tanlac representa- tive, in commenting upon the above state ment, .and 1t is surprising to know vha' an immense number of people are suffer ing from this malady and do not k,iow what is wrong with them.' He ther enumerated the symptoms of catarI such as offensive breath. constant sniff fling discharge from the nose. dropping' in the throat, frequent sneezing, water, eyes, full head, headaches and uns5unt digestion, etc.
 Tanlac, it Is said, acts directly on sh' infamed mucous membranes, and wal designed especially to overcome these troubles
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu sively by Patton-Pope company ant Jacobs Drug Store, under the persona direction of the Tanlac representative. is also on sale at Ensley by D. w. Morri Drug Co.,, and In Bessemer by PeGrar1 Patton Drug Co.-Adv.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Suggests Man for Commission

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Like a good many others. I resent the suggestion of an afternoon paper for bringing out, or rather grooming, a candidate for city commissioner.
 I agree with them that we need q
 man of broad and progressive ideas.
 At the same time We need man who
 would be a candidate of the whole people. and not one of one faction or
 interest.
 I am a constant reader of this news . paper and an admirer of it on most oc- casions, but in this case I beg to differ. Ine bringing out of candidate, as suggested "smacks" too much of the old obsolete convention methods of the long ago.
 Now as for our needing a candidate for this particular office. we do. ans; that badly. With all due respect to those already In the field. in my hum-
 ble opinion. there is not one that meas ures up to the requirements of the of- 1 fee
 | We need a man for this job. with
 out any frills or 'isms'' of any kind or description.
 | Now, Mir Editor, I have in mind the
 man for the position, who would. should | he consent to run and could we elect 1 hlin, make an ideal commissioner; one who is broad minded. liberal, energetic
 ambitious and possessing the poise ano having the energy, vitality and the ex- ecutive ability. who could and would | be ljkened unto oscar Underwood, "al ways on the job" He Is not a politician Ill any sense of the word and himself | will be one of the most surprised mer | in Birmingham at anyone suggesting
 his name for the place. His name 1, no other than T. A. Weller, who ha. been connected with the Bessemel Coal, Iron and Land company for number of years. Yes, Birmingham needs a doctor, financial doctor, an, | MT. Weller lon the job" would be tn,
 man of the hour H. H. THOMAS. T Birmingham. August 30. 1915. 201 | Third avenue.
