TRAIN DISPATCHER FOR SOUTHERN KY.
 NOW |ND0RSES II
Prominent Railway Official Enjoying Excellent Health
 Since Taking Tanlac

Although people in every walk of lite and of various degrees of prominence have given their unqualified indorsement to Tanac, the Master Medicine" an un- usually large number of railroad men, including superintendents, conductors engineers firemen, trainmen, and in fact men representing every branch of the great industry, have testified to bene- fits derived from the use of this prepara- tion.
 Among the latest to add their names to this ever-increasing roll is w. F. Gould, train dispatcher for the Southern railway in Birmingham. For 8 years MT. Gould has filled this most important position on numbers of the larger railroad systems o1 the country, and for several years has worked ''second trick out of Birming- ham.
 Anyone familiar with the operation oi a trunk line railroad can appreciate the responsibility which the dispatcher as- sumes when he goes on duty, and clear head and steady nerve are the hrs' requisites to qualify a man for this class of work.
 There were lots of nights when would have been glad to turn my work over to someone else if possible" said MT Gould to the Tanlac representative. 'l was subject to awful spells of headaches that would nearly put me out of business Starting in my lower forehead the pair would extend to the back of my head and would hang to me for days at a time.
 My head felt stopped up most of the time, and I could not breathe freely After eating I had an uncomfortable feeling or fullness, and didn't seem te digest my food. I was troubled great deal with constipation and nothing in the way of treatment seemed to give any per manent relief.
 About two months ago I made up my mind to give Tanlac, of which l had heard and read so much, a trial, and from the time I had used one-half a bottle I haven't had the headache. My head is clear and I notice I am not so susceptible to colds. The medicine has toned me ur wonderfully; has improved my appetite and I am much stronger and better ir every way.
 q have taken five bottles of the medi- cine and have started on the sixth While I dislike publicity, I have derived so much good from the use of Tanlac that I am glad to say this much in it's be- half, as think it a most excellent tonic.
 Genuine Tanlac is sold in Birmingham proper exclusively by Patton-Pope Co., and Jacobs Drug store. In Ensley by D Patton Drug Co.,; North Birmingham Walker Drug company, and Pratt City Gale Drug Co.
 It is also on sale at the following ex- elusive suburban agencies:
