"A GOOD THING AND SUITS
MY CASE EXACTLY"
Manager OF California Ink Company
Gives His Opinion

Mr.. s. deMontmorency of 1852
Stout St, Denver. the popular and
well-known manager of the Califor-
MIA Ink Co.. is highly elated over the
results obtained from the use of Tan
lac. He says:
II never was as surprised in my
life at the benefits received so quick
ly from a preparation. 1t does what
is claimed for it, and my experience
has certainly been good one.
II have been bothered for num-
ber OF years with my stoma n, and
rarely ever ate meal that agreed
with me. My nerves were in bad
my sleep doing very little good. In
the mornings I felt all choked up,
and would clear my throat continu-
ally. This l attributed to catarrh,
and after several friends recon-
mended Tanlac to me, l thought l
would at least give it trial, and l
want to say right now, it's good
thing, and suits my case exactly. My
stomach is now in fine condition, and
l never know that l have nerve in
my body. My sleep really does me
good, and feel like an entirely diff
ercnt person"

organization" declared Col. William

Peculiar Fertilizer In Tasmania.


Tasmania is great farming and
fruit country and there is good local
market for all the spent oil shale
from the distilling retorts. The rock
from which the oil has been taken
sells at 81 per ton for agricultural
uses. The assays do not disclose any
rich fertilizing matter in the spent
shale, yet when 1t is pulverized and
distributed over farming lands and
garden soils it produces such wonder
full results as to make the demand for
it greater than the supply. 1t appears
to act on the soil mechanically by
aerating it, and possibly, by condens-
ing moisture from the atmosphere and
transferring it to the crops. 1t is ex-
pected that the prices obtainable for
the spent shale will eventually cover
mining and retorting costs.-Dr. Ar
thur SelwynsBrown. in The Engineer
ing Magazine.
