She doesn't complain like she used
to, is not nervous and sleeps splen-
didly. She isn't subject to consti-
patton like she was, and the pains
in her back and the headaches
have about disappeared. She is
as bright and as cheerful as she

statement, Mr.. q. F. Willis,

said:
This is, indeed a very remark
able case, and distinctly recall a
number of other members of this
high calling who have publicly
expressed their indebtedness to
this medicine and who felt it their
duty to tell suffering humanity of
the great benefits they had de-
rived from its use. Among them
are; Rev. A. II. Sykes, pastor of
the Watkins Park Presbyterian
church, Nashville Tenn; Rev. W.
L. Roby, pastor of West Lonsdale

of Wesley Memorial church, Jack

Somehow we haven't the greatest
sympathy for the American citi-
zens who proceeded to Mexico at
various times to secure timber and
mining rights and possessions of
lands solely as cold-blooded
business proposition. While the
United States cannot afford to
ignore insults from the Mexicans
there is no special reason why our

REV. J. A. WELLS. OF
v|CKSBURG. TELLS
OF W|FE'S TROUBLE
Well Known Minister of the the
Gospel Says His Wife Was in
Bad Health for Three Years.

Still an other well known mini
ster of the Gospel voluntarily
comes forward with his unquali-
fled Endorsement for Tanlac, the
medicine that is being so widely
discussed throughout the South.
This time it is Rev. J. A. Wells,
a member of the Mississippi con-
ference of the Methodist church
and pastor of the Oak Ridge
Methodist church at Oak Ridge,
near Vicksburg, Miss. Previous
to his pastorate Mt this place,
Rev. Wells was pastor of the
Seventh Avenue Methodist church,
Meridian, Miss.
A few days ago Rev. Wells
while in King 4 Co.'S store at
Vicksburg, made the following
statement to the Tanlac represen-
tative:
/ am SO grateful for the i'm
provement in my wife's health,
brought about by Tanlac that do
not feel that it would be doing
my duty if didn't tell the public
what Mr.. Cooper's wonderful
new medicine has done for her.
She was in a general rundown
condition for three years and be
come very emaciated and weak.
She was nervous all the time and
never slept well at night. Her
appetite was poor and what she
did eat caused pain and discomfort
afterward. She lost strength and
energy and fell from lis pounds
until she only weighed - pounds.
She was constipated most of the
time and had severe backaches and
headaches. Her health was 50
rundown that she had To spend
about half of her time in bed.
She was under the treatment of
several doctors, but could get no
relief to speak Of. In fact. | was
told by the doctors that there was
little hope for her recovery and
of course, her condition became
the source of much anxiety to me.
| thought once a trip to one of
the health resorts would benefit
her, but knew that she was not
strong enough for a soiourn there,
20 gave up the idea.
Il was in Meridian two months
ago when Tanlae was recommend
ID to me. Both Mrs. Wells and
myself were always skeptical about
medicines and then
100, realizing that the many medi- |
lines, prescribed for her by doctors
lad failed to bring about any |
improvement, we didn't
hink there was chance of aDy-f
hing helping her. However, |
fought her bottle and she began
aking it.
We'll, sir, she is how on her
eventh bottle of Tanlac and she

ceilings and in looks Her friends
II say that she looks better than
he has in months. Her appetite
as picked up wonderfully and
he can eat most anything she
rants withoutany bad after effects.
