splendid Key of Energy
G. sMELTzER PRAISES TONIC

BY common consent the job Of city fire
man Is a most difficult one to fill. Aside
from the hazard to life and limb into
which he is constantly thrust he must
have unusually sound nerves.
He must be able to go TO sleep at a
moments notice and to be suddenly
awakened ready to answer hurried call,
and he has to accustom himself to all
sorts Of irregularities. His constitution
must be that of an iron man.
When one witnesses the fire apparatus
tearing madly through the crowded
streets one can realize why the driver
undergoes a terrific strain.
George Smeltzey. driver OF the hose
wagon at Engine House No ?. is one of
the best known members Of the Omaha
Fire Department.
For many years Mr.. Smeltzer was suf-
fering from acute stomach trouble which
had upset his entire nervous system.
Realizing that to be an efficient fireman
he must be In the best possible physical
condition he searched about for a reliable
remedy to relieve his condition and he
found Tanlac. the new reconstructive
tonic.
II continued to get worse" said Mr..
Smeltzer, until l began taking Tanlac.
Since my childhood ! had suffered from
time to time from poor stomach At
times l would become discouraged as
nothing seemed to de me any good. My
appetite was poor; my food wouldn't di-
gest properly; l couldn't sleep at night
and in the morning / would arse feeling
dreary and with nasty taste in my
mouth. Headaches and pains in the
stomach added to my discomfort
Since taking Tanlac l eat like a pig
and sleep like a lamb. Tanlac has re
stored my energy and work is a pleasure.
My. food dgests properly and, in fact. 1
feel great"
Tanlae is being specially introduced and
