Prominent Labor
Man Testifies
State Federation of Labor Official
Makes Statement of
Condition.
PRAISES TANLAC.

Prominent people in nearly every
capacity, are daily testifying to the
merits Of Tanlac, the Master Medi-
cine" now being introduced in Rock
Island. Here is what John M. Irish,
vice president of the State Federation
of Labor, who resides at the Fey Ho-
tel in Peoria, ILL.,, has to say about Tan
lac and the benefit he derived from the
use of the medicine.
"Tanlac has proved a wonderful
remedy in my case. Previous to the
time I obtained relief through this
preparation suffered a great deal with
my stomach, which put my whole sys-
tenn out Of order. l became quite nerv-
GUS and was unable to obtain any great
amount of rest at night. 1t was i'm
possible for me to eat heartily with
out feeling most uncomfortable AFTER
wards. When l would get up in the
morning there seemed to be a great
load on my stomach, which made me
feel sick all over. Finally l lost all
appetite for food and nothing seemed
to taste good to me.
Il was looking over the morning pa
per recently and noticed where a man
who had stomach trouble had been
benefited by Tanlac. I went to Sui
lift & Case, where the medicine is be-
ing sold in Peoria, and bought a bottle
and began taking the medicine as di-
rected. AS l said before, the medicine
has brought me great relief. feel
better In several ways. My appetite
has returned and I can now eat a big
meal without suffering the effects of
indigestion. The old stuffy feeling that
was such an annoyance to me has dis
appeared and am able to obtain a
good sleep at night. seem to have
new strength and my nerves are more
quiet than heretofore. I think Tanlac
is a good medicine for a trouble lilo
mine and can recommend it to anyoue
who is suffering with a similar all
ment."
Tanlac. the Master Medicine" that
brought such relief to Mr.. Irish. is now
being sold in Rock Island at the Rjess
pharmacy.-(Adv.l

GOAL NOW ALMOST IN SIGHT,
VIEW OF THE BRITISH PRESS

LONDON. July 15.-The new British
advance on the western front pro-
vides the theme for exultant comment
in the morning papers.
The situation Of the German army
is very critical" declares the rele-
graph. The Daily News. under the cap
ton, The Breaking Lines" says: The
comparative ease with which the sec
ond lines have been forced lends
countenance to tho belief that they
were not as strong as the first lines
undoubtedly were. 1t may be that the
worst and heaviest task was achieved
with the carrying of the first lines,
which the Germans are said to have
held to be impregnable.
The important thing is to retain in
true perspective the nature and OBJ
jects of this western offensive. 1t is
