HAS CONE TO HIM.
TOOK FRIEND ADVICE

TanIac and Thinks 1t Is the
Finest Mediocre.

A MESSAGE that will probably inter
est more people than any OF the thou
sands of endorsements heretofore Civ
en- the famous medicine, Tanlac, is the
remarkable statement given to the
press by Capt. T J. Hobbs. who re-
sides at 2110 Aclon Ave- Nashville,
Tenn. Capt Hobbs has been pas
senger conductor on the Louisville
and Nash lille railroad for thirty
seven wears and is one OF the most
popular and widely known railroad
men in the South.
81 suffered with the trouble for 10
years" said the genial captain to
Tanlac representative who Lad heard
of the unusual case that was the talk
of the railroad yards, and during this
time l spent on an average Of $500
a year trying 10 get cured. The doc
tors said l had enlargement Of the
liver.
well, l don't know whether it was
that or something else, he continued,
"but do know that for the last three
years l have not had a single good
nights rest, and have not been able 10
lie on my side at ALL l got so l could
scarcely eat anything without suffer
ing for hours afterwards and l fell Off
fifty-five pounds I'm rather big fe!-
low, as you see. and my normal weight
is 250 pounds but I fell off to 1875 and
was getting so weak could hardly
drag myse'f through the train,
'Of night when I would lay down
nv right side would pain me so badly
that it felt like an iron pin was be-
ing driven through me- My digestion
was terrible ard l took lot Of medi-
cine, but nothing would do any good.
Every summer for fifteen years |
would 60 to Red Boiling Springs
where the water and rest would patch
me up temporarily. but in a short time
I would lapse into my old condition.
I was on the ;erge Of giving up all
hope of ever seeing a we'll day again
when my engineer said to me: Cap
tain why don't you try Cooper's new
medicine? All the railroad boys are
talking about it, and it is certainly
worth a dollar to give it a trial"
"Well, went into Demoville's drug
store and got bottle and guess you
can see at a glance what it has done
for me I am now on my seventh bot
tie I sleep as sound as a dollar and
can lie on my right side without the
least discomfort. just sleep so
soundly that ] don't hear the alarm
clock half the time and I guess I'd
miss my train if Mrs. Hobbs didn {
vank me out of bed. I don't believe
would ever wake up.
'I enjoy my meals, too; I just eat
everything in sight. A few nights
ago I ate big bowl of cabbage,
something 7 very much like but have
been unable to eat for years. My! II
tasted good-and it didn't give me one
bit of trouble.
! For a long time my work dragged
on me 1t worried me and l couldn
take the interest in it i used to-, ou'
nothing worries me now except my
hanger. for it does seem like cans
get enough to eat. I now go to oed
with a. wire edge on my spirits, en-
iov nv work just like I used to. All
the BOYS have noticed the change.
After had taken two bottles OF
Tanlac. weighed and found l had
aimed twenty pounds. That was a
few weeks ago; but know l weigh a
great deal more by now. If had
known you were coming out to see
me I would have weighed again. III
say this I think Tanlac is one OF
the finest medicines I ever heard of in
nv life, and l am glad to recomend 1t
to everybody. All my friends know
about it, you can bet on that, and l
know of about thirty of the boys who
are taking it"
