GREENVILLE MAN SAYS HIS ALL
MENTS MADE HIM A COMPLETE
WRECK-ALL TREATMENT
FAILED.
w. r. Henson Says Not Until he
Took Tanlac Did he Get
Relief.-.Gained 10 Pounds
on 3 Bottles.

''Tanlac is the best medicine /

my health so much that | can work
now. Though my ailments had
made me complete wreck aud had
kept me from working for sixteen
(l6) months. declared w. R. Hen

Grove Road, near Augusta ST., in
the Cherokee park suburb Of Green

The case of Mr.. Henson is one Of
the most REMARKABLY in Greenvillc
which has yet come to the attention
Of the Tanlae representative. Mr.
Henson had kidney and bladder
trouble so badly that his health was
undermined and his strength was
lost. From October, 1914, until few
weeks ago, when he began to take
Tanlac. Mr.. Henson had been una

give him satisfactory results, he

Of this wonderful preparation. He
considers remarkable the relief it
gave him. Mr.. Henson's statement
follows:
Il suffered from very bad form
of kidney and bladder trouble from
October, 1914. l had keen pains
in my back and left side. After
this trouble hit me, my health gave
way completely and I became too
weak to work. / did nothing but
the lightest kind of work around
the house until after I began taking
Tanlac. l lost much weight as a
result of my ailments, and l had
absolutely no energy. One of the
most distressing symptoms l had
was that l had absolutely no control
over the bladder muscles.
Il sought treatment from many
qualified persons anil was told that
J had catarth of the bladder. l
also tried many medicines but OBJ
tanned no satisfactory results in any
case until 1 began Tanlac.
My daughter had heen for some
time an interested reader of the tes-
timonials of those who had been
aided by Tanlac, and she finally
convinced me that Tanlac was the
medicine l needed. 1t was exactly
the medicine | needed, as later was
proved.
"Tanlac gave me wonderful re-
lief. I gained ten (lo) pounds and
have taken only three bottles. /
can do much work now, and, as an
illustration of the heavy work l can
do, l today lifted heavy piece of
timber aud carried it across the lot.
That shows how much my strength
has increased. / work a great deal
more now than / have for sixteen
months-since this trouble hit me.
I feel so much better in every way.
If it had not been for Tanlac guess
l would be in bad shape now sure
enough.
1t certainly does make me feel
so good to be able to work again. l
am much livelier now, and my kid
neys have been regulated and
strengthened. That is the very
thing which makes me happy-my

OUR MISS FANNIE.

Oh, Sunday school scholar, why do we
moan?
Oh, look! see the seed she has sown.s
First she loved God, which was DeIter
than all,
This to her was sweeter than lilies IN
fall.
Oh, Sunday school scholar,
Her, let US follow.
She was kind, gentle and true,
She went smiling all the day thro.
She did live on the bread of life,
When in trouble or strife.
Oh! Sunday school scholar,
Her, let US follow.
Where ere she went hither or thither,
Her little steps shall not wither. ,
She loved to teach our Sunday school,
she said,
And no one knows the price for it she
paid.
Oh! Sunday school scholar,
Her, let us follow.
The last words she sail to US, =,
"You all will turn over new leaf 7
trust
She taught US our Bible to read,
And on the bread of life to feed.
Oh! Sunday school scholar,
Her, let US follow.
And so God took her by the hand,
And led her on to a better land.
And now she is not here,
But she has gone to live above tnls
world of care.
Oh! Sunday school scholar,
Her, let us follow.
And let US think each day
Of the kind words she did say:
And let US never disobey her rule,
In church or in Sunday school.
Oh! Sunday school scholar,
Her, will you follow?
Oh! let us each day,
Do and say what she told us to say.
And oh days, will you only fly?
Then we shall see her in the sweet by
and by.
Oh, Sunday school scholar,
Her, will you follow?
The above poem was written by
Gladys Lyon, one of the devoted Sun
day school scholars of Mrs. Fannie
Tompkins. 1t is full of splendid
thought and deep feeling.]

made the same ,colors as women 8.
Women's and children's shoes were
made of thin cloth and paper soles.
These were protected by overshoes
when Worn outdoors. Men wore
knee breeches and wigs on their
heads, which were changed every
year.
Medicine was made of bark and
herbs. ~
The first mode of travel was on
foot. The forests were very dense,
therefore the settlers had to clear
paths before any kind of travelling
could be done. The next mode was
horse back. Stones were set in front
of each house, for the purpose Of
mounting the horses more easily.
Inland transportation was carried
on, on horse back After better
roads were made, wagons were used
more numerously. They were cover.
ed and very low in the middle. The
wagons were drawn by four or six
horses. The horses were beautiful
and greatly admired. Later, coaches
were used for travelling.
Free accommodation was so COM
mon that no law could make any
one pay, unless an agreement was
made beforehand, no matter how
long the guests stayed. In the city,
the streets were ill-paved and poor
ly lighted. In the large cities, men
went around calling the hour of the
night and the condition of the
weather.
The first church service was held
in tents under trees. The next
church was made of wood in the
form Of a square with high and
decorated steeples. They were not
painted, but allowed to become
brown by the weather. People were
summoned to church by a man get
ting in the steeple and beating a
drum. A certain man went around
to the houses when the service first
started, (Which lasted from four to
six bours) and forced everybody to
60 to church who were able. The
pews were built like closets with
shelves for seats. Each pew was as
signed by a committee. The best as
signed to people of wealth and dig
nifty.
The conduct of the children was
carefully watched by a committee
of men. Ii they didn't behave, they
were punished publicly after service.
The services lasted all day with a
little time for dinner. Prayers lasted
one to two hours. There were no
song books. The preacher read
lines, then the people repeated it
with some kind of tune, each per-
son usually having a different tune.
The settlers were very economic
al and their children were taught
likewise.

THAT SAVED GERMANY
Allied Offensive Halted by Storms
British Commander Admits 'Teuton

known-Revisw Of Campaign.

London, Dec. 30.-The battle Of the
Somme is pictured as a sweeping tri-
umph for entente allied arms in q de-
tailed report by General Sir Douglas
Haig, which was issued last night. The
report covers operations from July /
to Nov. Is.
General Haig terms the battle tri-
umph in which the German western
armies were only saved from complete
collapse and a decisive defeat by pro-
tracted period of unfavorable weather
that prevented the Anglo-F French
forces from taking full advantage OF
their successful advance.
He declares that. nevertheless, 1t was
a triumph which proved beyond doubt
the ability of the allies to overthrow
Germany when the time comes"
The British commander shows HIM
self a firm believer in the doctrine that
the entente allies can win the war on
the western front.
Teuton Power Unbroken.
Il desire to add a few words as to
future prospects," he says at the close
of the dispatch, which covers sixteen
closely printed pages. THE enemys
power has not yet been broken. nor Is
it vet possible to form an estimate or
the time the war may last before the
objects for which the allies are fight
ing have been attained, but the Somme
battle has placed beyond doubt the
ability OF the allies to gain these OBJ
jects.
THE German army is the mainstay
of the central powers and full half OF
that army, despite all advantages OF
the defensive and supported by the
strongest Notifications. suffered defeat
on the Somme this year.
Neither Yictors nor vanquished Will
forget this and, although bad wealth
err mas given the enemy a respite, there
are undoubtedly many thousands in
his ranks who will begin the new cam
paign with little confidence In their
ability to resist our assaults or over
come our defense.
Our new armies entered battle with
a determination to win and confidence
in their power to do SO. They nave
proved To themselves. to the eneiny and
to the world that this confidence Is JUS
tilted.
The Germans were continuing 70
press their attacks at verdun and beth
there and on the Italian front. where
the Austrian offensive was gaining. IT
was evident that the strain might be-
come too great unless timely action
was taken. Accordingly. agreed that
the Somme attack should be Launched
whenever the general situation reauir-
ed it with as great a.force as might
be then available.
by the end Of May the pressure on
the Italian front had assumed sucn
serious proportions that the Russian

campaign was opened carly In June
and the successes gained against the
lAustrians at once caused a movement
Of German troops from the western to
| the eastern front This, however,, did
| not lessen the pressure on Verdun. and,
] therefore " was agreed that flla cns,,-
bined French and British offensive
would not be postponed beyond the
end of June"
After dealing at length with the va
| rious stages of the operations General
Haig sums up the results as follows:
Three main objects with which we
commenced the offensive were achieved
In spite of the fact that heavy Au-
tumn rains prevented full advantage
being taken of the favorable situation
created by our advance at time when
we had good ground for hoping to
achieve vet more important successes.
verdun had been relieved. the main
German forces had been held on the
western front, and the enemys
strength had been considerably worn
down. Any one of these three results
is in itself sufficient to Justify the
Somme battle. The attainment Of all
three affords ample compensation for
the splendid efforts Of the troops and
for tiis sacrifices made. They have
brought us long step forward toward
the final victory of the allied cause.
Information obtained, both during
the progress of the Somme battle and
since the suspension Of active opera
tions has fully established the effect OF
our offensive in keeping the enemy's
main forces tied to the western front.
In November the strength of the en-
AMY, y, the yuoS$orr, fhoo toY Uron
err than In July, Notwithstanding the
abandonment Of the offensive at YER
dun. 1t is therefore justifaable to con
clude that the Somme offensive not
only relieved Verdun but held large
forces which would otherwise have
been employed against our allies in the
east.
1.-THE third great object Of the allied
operations on the Somme was the
wearing down of the. enemy's powers OF
resistance. Any statement as to the
extent to which this has been attained
must depend in some degree on esti-
mates. There is, nevertheless. sufficient
evidence ito place beyond doubt that
the enemy's losses In men and material
were very considerably higher than
those of the allies, while morally the
balance of advantage on our side is
still greater.
Aided by the great depth Of his de-
lenses and by frequent reliefs. which
his resources of men enabled him to eff
feet, discipline and training held the
machine together sufficiently to enable
the enemy to rally and reorganize his
troops after each fresh defeat. But to-
ward the end Of the operations. when
the weather unfortunately broke, there
is no doubt that his power Of resistance
very seriously diminished
