 Over to Put Out
 Potato Plants

Many remarkable statements have been made by well known people of Bir- mingham and this immedite section re- gardirg the benefits received from the use of Tanlac, the new medicine that everybody is talking about and which Is doing so much good among all classes; but the statement of w. J.. Blackmon, a highly respected farmer of Pratt City, Ala, is in many re- spects the strongest ever given a pro- prietary medicine.
 MT. Blackmon is well known In his community, and, as appears below, the facts in the case are vouched for by MT. R. M. Gale, of Pratt City, who is fully acquainted with the details of this mans astonishing recovery. All in- terested persons can, therefore, easily verify each and every particular.
 Following is MT. Blackmon's state ment just as he made it to George C.. Reed, the Tanlac representative in Birmingham in the presence of wit- nesses:
 q had stomach trouble and rheu- matism for 1 years. and I kept going down until I was just nothing. The doctors gave me up and all the people who knew me around here never ex- pected to see me alive this long. 1 couldn't blow my truck farm any time during this II years and I had to get somebody else to do it.
 At times the hurting in my stomach would completely knock me out, and | was suffering continually with pains in my back and joints. I was stiff all over and couldn't stoop to put out po- tato slips-Td have to crawl along the ground to do this work.
 My stomach was so weak all the time that I couldn't eat anything but loaf bread and buttermilk.
 "I saw Tanlac advertised, but I couldn't believe anything would get me entirely over my trouble. I just took on to it like a drowning man grabs at a straw. If anybody had told me that I would gain 15 pounds and feel like new man after taking this Tanlac just three weeks, I would have thought he was raving crazy-but that's exactly what it did for me, 1 actually gained 15 pounds and began to feel like I used to in my younger days.
 q am now on my seventh bottle and my suffering is a thing of the past. I am blowing every day now and can put out potato slips flat footed. I be- lieve Tanlac will do more than all the medicines in the world, and it has proven it. in my case"
 After MT. Blaekmon had gone, MT.
 
 pany had this to say:
 q have been knowing MT. Blackmon for about A years. He has been farm ing near here for all that time and several years longer. He has a wife and four children. It is almost unbe- lievable the good Tanlac has done him. I noticed some improvement after he came in here and got the second bot tie, and now he is strong and happy over what it has done for him. He is working on his farm every day, blowing and setting out plants. From this one case my faith in Tanlac has gone up a hundred points"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham ex- clusively by Eugene Jacobs Drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company. It is sold in Bessemer by the Pegram- Patton Drug company, in Ensley by the D.. w. Morris Drug company, in Pratt City by the Gale Drug company, in North Birmingham by the Walker Drug company, and by regularly estab- lished agencies in all the principal towns of the state.-Adv.
