THIS WOMAN SPENT
TWO YEARS IN BED
AND ROLLING CHAIR

For two years l spent all my time
either in the hospital, in bed, or In
a rolling chair, and during that time
was given up to die, and / don't
guess / would be here now if it hadn't
been for Tanlac." said Mrs. f. o. Will
son. Mrs Wilson is we'll known in
Atlanta, her husband having been en-
ployed by The Constitution for a num-
Der of years.
Il was great sufferer from chronic
indigestion" continued Mrs. Wilson,
and don't guess anybody ever had to
go through with what / did. was
very weak and nervous, and at times
had those dreadful smothering sensa-
tons to the point of fainting. I had
dreadful headaches, severe pains in
my back and over my kidneys and my
Joints ached all the time. For two
years I had to live entirely on boiled
milk toast and soft boiled eggs, and
even that didn't digest well, and would
sour on my stomach. l didn't know
what it was to get good nights sleep.
[ took one kind of medicine after an.
other until our house was almost filled
with empty bottles, but instead of i'm
proving, / was getting worse all the
time. Finally they took me to the hos
pital for treatments and I lay there
for five long months, but even that
didn't make me well. 1t was taking
nearly every cent of my husbands
wages to pay my doctor and drug bills
our drug bill alone amounted to $1i
or SIS a month, and one doctor bin
amounted to sos.
1T looked like everything had failed
to help me, and had about given ND
all hope when one day my husband
brought a bottle of Tanlac home with
him and asked me to take it. He said
ne had been reading and hearing a lot
of good things about it, and didn't
see any reason why it shouldn't help
me. / was confined to my rolling chair
when I began taking it.

Over in a very dark corner of the

Dust and dirt were thick upon them,
but as Elizabeth looked, one or two
arose, shook themselves. and rolled
down the pile to the floor.

quence of its bombardment be- French

RECIPE TO CLEAR
4 P|MPLY SKIN
PIMPLEs AND IMPURITIES SEEK
ING AN OUTLET THROUGH
SKIN PORES.

Pimples, sores and boiIs usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and irnpuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
It is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine,
but in many instances the bowels
create more toxins and impurities
than the kidneys can eliminate, then
the blood uses the skin pores as the
next best means Of getting rid Of
these impurities which often break out
all over the skin in the form Of pim-
pies.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted author
ity, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass of hot
water each morning before breakfast
for one week. This will prevent the
formation of toxins in the bowels. It
also stimulates the kidneys to normal
activity, thus coaxing them to filter
the blood of impurities and clearing
the skin of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent drink which usually makes PIN
pies disappear, cleanses the blood and
is excellent for the kidneys as we'll
