DIR. j. T. EDWARDS
RECOMMENDS 1T
Prominent Georgia Physician
Now Gives Haster Medicine
His Unqualified Endorsement.

DR.. j. II. Edwards Of Fayettc-
vile, Ga, one Of the best-known
members of the medical professions
in the State Of Georgia. makes a
statement that will undoubtedly
produce a profound impression
throughout the South.
In my thirty years Of active
practice as licensed physician in
the State of Georgia, says DR..
Edwards, II have never seen any
thing to equal Tanlac as medi
cine to produce results, l hear
people on all sides telling Of the
benefits they have derived from it's
use.
"Tanlac is simply the talk Of my
town. I have no hesitancy in re-
commencing the medicine; and, az
q matter of fact, l am prescribing
it for my patients almost every
day.
"Only a few days ago we'll
known woman of Fayetteville came
to me and told me about the re-
markable relief her daughter had
gained from the use of this medi-
cine. She said her daughter had
been confined to her bed for three
years with what had been pro-
nounced pellagra, and that after
using Tanlac for a short time she
was able to be about and was on
the road to recovery.
"But this -is only one instance.
People in all walks Of life in and
around our little city are giving
similar Endorsements to the medi-
cine. Seldom q day passes that
someone does not come to me and
say something about the good re-
suits they, are getting from the use
of Tanlac.
Several unusual gains in weight
have been reported by some of our
most prominent people, and I have
treated some stubborn cases of in
digestion, catarrhal conditions and
organized disorders and securedsplen-
did results with Tanlac."
Commenting upon this state
ment, g.. F. Willis, Southern dis
tributor Of Tanlac, said
"Coming from the high source
it does and especially from mem-
ber of the medical profession. this
straightforward. utterance of DR.
Edwards is more than recon-
mendation. 1t is a triumph
Tanlac, Natures great vegetable
tonic, corrective and system build
or, is truly one of the greatest dis
coveries Of the decade, and the best
evidence Of this is the confidence
and high esteem in which it .is
held not only by the great masses
Of the people, but by leaders and
public men everywhere. No other
medicine has ever established the
reputation Tanlac, nor has any
other received the high indorse.

ILLINOIS MAN IS
EASY FOR CROOKS

Chicago, June 2.-Police today are
looking for man known as H. Davis
and are holding in custody Henry E.
Smith, an insurance agent, who was
arrested yesterday for attempting to
aid Davis in cashing draft for $1O,-
900 drawn by w. H. Matteson Of Nor
ris, Ill.
According to the story, Matteson
told the police he met Davis in Florida
last winter, where Davis was said to
have posed as real estate broker.
Matteson said that he was allowed to
bet on horse race without putting up
any money and was told that he had
won $4,000. Davis then undertook to
get the money for him, he said, but he
was required to advance $4,000 to
show evidence Of good faith. Davis
was given a check for that amount by
Matteson and they came to Chicago
and cashed 1t. Later, Davis wanted
some more of Metteson's money and
went to Morris to get it. He told Mat
teson that 1t was necessary to put up
$4,000 more to get his winnings and
Matteson gave him draft for the
amount. It was while Davis and Smith
were trying to cash this draft yester-
day that the police were called in and
Smith was arrested. Davis escaped.
