J. ). REESE MAKES STRONG STATEM'NT
Howard County Farmer Tells Friend at Rect0r's He's Ga ned II Lbs on Tanlac-"Finest Thing I Ever
 Came Across" He Says.

J. D. Reese, one of the best known farmers in Howard county, came into Rectors Drug Store in Nashville the lac and while there told Leon Beau champ and A. E. Afford that he hae actually gained eleven pounds on the medicine and was feeling stouter and better than he had felt in two years.
 I've been farming in this county fer about thirty years, said Mir Reese, "and don't remember the time when I've felt better or could do a bigger days work than I can now, af- ter taking four bottles of Tanlac."
 Before I took itt' he continued, "i was really sick man. I was run down and in bad shape and I'd been getting that way for two years or more. I got so I couldn't eat any sup per at all, and I felt heavy and worn out and had just about gotten out CT heart of ever getting any relief.
 About this time a friend of mine told me about Tanlac and said for me to take it by all means. so I get a bot tie and started in on it. We'll, wasn't any time at all before it begun to pick me up aud got to feeling a whole lot better
 I've gained eleven pounds and i can just work all day lcng and not be tired out like I used to be- A tually, this medicine has made a new man out of me, and I just think it is about the finest thing of the kind I've ever come across"
 People affected like MT. Reese was, and there are thousands of them right in this section, are loggy and nervou, and easily tired down. They feel worn out after little exertion and are often moody and depressed. These arc symptoms of an overworked stom- feh, liver or other vital u'g, s which need cleaning out and regulat- ing. Tanlac does that very thing.
 The public is warned against buy ing Tanlac from any but regulari, authorized agents Genuine Tanlac is sold in Ashdown by the Boyer Drug Sore: sold in Foreman by the Fore man Drug Stcre. adyt.
