Lieutenant Captain Rose wore IA

Other naval men believed that the

her.
When the submarine steamed out of
the harbor she carried with her a small
silk flag, an emblem of the proposed
Irish republic. This was presented by
James S. OBrien, a local Irish leader,
who visited the ship and talked with
Lieutenant Wacker, the second in COM

near Ashland City, not far from Nash
willie.
Il had stomach and kidney trouble
and suffered torment with my back and
side. The doctors could do nothing for

Vile about Tanlac and he advised me to
try IL, saying he had heard so many
favorable reports about it, and sent me
a bottle.
After taking the first bottle felt so
much better j ordered another bottle
for myself. and the result is ] am a
well man. / told a friend of mine
about IL and ordered a bottle for him
and he had good results. I can eat
anything / want and ii don't hurt me,

WILLIS TELLS WHY
SALES ARE LARGE

These enormous sales" sai0 Mr.. Will
lis. amean but one thing, and that is
merit Tanlac is well advertised. ii Is
true. but such large and rapidly grow
ing demand could not be brought about
-byi advertising alone. 1t is what the
.neiEhbors say that counts. One bottle
Isl sold in a neighborhoOd through ad-
-yertising. but ten more are sold in that
community after that first bottle pro-
-s-dces results. and that's right where
Tanlac scores People are always will
ing 10 talk about their ailments, but
they are more thar willing to tell others
of a medicine that helps them It's
something they couldn't keep to them
selves IL they tried. for the impulse TO
sympathize with neighbors and want TO
help them is one of the strongest as
well as one Of the biggest things in
human nature
Tanlac is producing these results and
that is why nothing on earth can keep
II out OF the hands OF the people. II
is not only the mOst-talked about med
icine in the world today. but in my opin-
ion II Is the best and most efficient
AID. although prominent leaders and
scfficials throughout the south have in
dorsed TanIac, its greatest prestige is
firmly based on the unqualified indorse-
-ments of the masses Of the people
mot a day or a week passes that
dces not bring hundreds of statements
concerning the good this medicine is
6dang and reciting the circumstances of
remarkable cases that would convince
the most skepticaL These are alone suf-
eieat TO explain the phenomenal de-
'uaand for Tanlac. but the figures are
more The figures contained in these
enormous orders speak elOquently and
ronvincingly Of the great good Mr..
Cooper's medicine is doing"

75PEOPLE CALLED

Now Well and Happy Again
and Has Gained 20 Pounds.
Friends Astonished at Re-
covery.

Just three weeks ago last Sunday at
least seventy-five people visited our
house expecting me to die or to find me
dead. / was actually so sick and my
condition so critical the superinten-
dent of the street car company instruct
ed the motormen TO go slow by our
house. Everybody had given me up to
die and all OF my friends will tell you
the same thing" was the remarkable
statement made by Miss Ola Brush, an
educated and refined young lady who
lives at 1146 Coggins street, Augusta,
Ga.
Il had been sick for ten years." she
continued, land finally got so bad off
my mother came to see me and sat up
with me night and day expecting each
day to be the last. 1 was operated on
the ninth day of November for appen-
dicitis and had been getting worse ever
since. 1 suffered all kinds of pain and
was i'm such agony at times / would

"One doctor said had pellagra and
another said I had to go back to the
hospital and be operated on again. For
three weeks I didn't sleep three hours
at any one time and everybody seemed
10 think 1 was going to die soon.

eyes and was nothing but skin and
bones.
Il have now taken three bottles of
Tanlac and l not only feel better than
L have at any time in ten years. but
have actually gained twenty pounds in
weight-think of it-twenty pounds.
That is just what Tanlac did for me
and there is no doubt about il. If peo-
pie don't believe you just tell them to
come to see me. My skin has cleared
up and l no longer have that greenish,
unnatural look around my eyes. / feel
just splendid in every way and am as
jolly as can be all the time. Tanlac is
responsible for il all because | took
nothing else after the first dose, as
threw all the other medicines away.
Only the other day my mother was talk
ing about the wonderful change i'm my
condition and said it seemed strange
that only three dollars worth of Tanlac
would make me we'll and strong again
after they had spent nearly all they had
made in the last ten years for other
medicines. 1t is simply worth its
weight in gold and 1 wouldn't take any
amount of money for what ii has done
for me-"
