Should Undergo Medical Examination

Should Undergo Medical Examination.
For long while there has been a
steadily increasing sentiment in favor
of a physical examination by compe-
tent physician of all school children, and
law providing for such an eXamlna-
tion will yet be enacted in this State.
But this medical examination should
not stop with children. Adults, itmat-
ters not how robust and strong one
may be physically, should by way of
can ounce of prevention" have a
physician make a thorough physical
examination at least once each year.
Organic or deeply seated troubles can
frequently be arrested or rendered less
severe when detected and treated in
their incipiency.
DR.. Goldwater, Ahe health commits
sioner of New York, is planning to
have all of the people of that great
city examined at least once year. He
began. with the employees of the health
department and will next include all OF
the municipal employees. DR.. Gold
water will next undertake to
create public sentiment in favor OF
every resident of the city undergoing
physical examination at some time
during the year. He estimates that
the adoption of such means of preven-
tion of disease and early treatment OF
such diseases as cancer, tuberculosis
and Bright's disease will prolong life
from three to five years. 1t will also
prevent the spreading of communica,
BILE diseases.
The plan adopted by DR.. Goldwatel
would be a good one for every city,
town, hamlet, and rural community ir
the country. Let each Individual Sc
riously consider the matter for him;
self and for the members of his house

changed him from man on the
verge of the grave to a much strong
er and happier man. Ii just work
ed a miracle almost for him. He
gained in every way, and when the
third bottle was gone he had gained
80 pounds in weight. When he
began taking Tanlac he could not
walk at all, but when be had taken
three bottles he was able to drive
seven miles to Spartanburg in a
buggy and walk over his farm.
"Tanlac gave him good appe-
tite and improved his stomach SO
much that b, began to eat almost
anything and lot of it. Tanlac is
due the credit for this great i'm
provement. I am proud to recon-
mend it and so is Mr.. Busbee."
Mrs. Busbee gave this statement
because they agreed she could tell
the better just how much improve
ment Tanlac had made in his con-
dition.

Gains Thirty
Pounds While
Taking Tanlac.
WIFE SAYS HUSBAND WAS
HARDLY ABLE TO TURN
IN BED FOR SIX
MONTHS.
HAD LOST ALL HOPE.
THREE BOTTLES OF TANLAC
WORKED MIRACLE For HIM
ALMOST" MADE ABLE To
Go To TowN.

After he had been given up to
die and his children had been called
to his bedside from their homes in
several States, Mr.. j. A. Busbee,
of Clifton, S. c., a suburban town
near Spartanbure, followed the ad-
vice of his son and others and took
Tanlac. As a result, he gained
80 pounds in weight and was
strengthened so much that he was
able to walk around the farm and
drive seven miles to Spartanburg
in buggy, according to the state
ment given on August 5th by his
wife.
Mr.. Busbee took three bottles of
Tanlac, she said, and during the six
months Immediately before he be-
gan to take Tanlac he had been so
weak and i'll with stomach trouble
that he frequently required his
wife's assistance when turning inbed.
Her statement follows:
MY husband suffered from a
very much run down and weakened
condition, and from a severe form
of stomach trouble. He had no
at all, and he wasted away
until he was just skin and bone. 1t
seemed we could get no treatment
that would permanently improve
him. He had been sick and una
BILE to do anything for about three
years.
''We had to turn him in bed, he
was so weak. He ate only few
bites day. Once before he began
taking Tanlac, he became so low
that we telegraphed for the chill
dren to come at once. One son
who lives at Birmingham, had heard
of the great results that Tanlac had
given sufferers with stomach trouble
and he insisted that his father take
Taniac as last resort. And he be-
gan to pick up right away after he
began taking 1t.
He has taken three bottles. 1t

Nothing in the Rumor.

The intimation which first appeared,
we believe, in the columns of the Char
lesion American that the followers of
Mr.. Blease would now ally themselves
with the Republican party in this State
and vote for Mr.. Hughes in November,
is doing thousands of good men who
voted for Mr.. Blease a great injustice.
The Advertiser would not be surprised
to see portion of Mr.. Blease's fol-
lowers violate their oaths by voting
other than Democratic ticket in the
general election, but very large por-
ton of the men who voted with and
for Mr.. Blease in the Democratic
primary are men whose word is their
bond and who would suffer their right
arm severed from their body before
they would deliberately disregard their
oath to support the nominees of the
Democratic party.
The man or set of men who started
the report that the followers of Mr..
Blease would bolt the Democratic par
ty has done thousands of his support
ers an injustice. They are good and
true men who would resent the sug-
gestion of such action on their part.
The Advertiser has not taken the re-
port seriously, for we know scores
upon scores of men in this county who
supported Mr.. Blease who will never
under any circumstances cast Re
publican ballot.

information that Luis de Ia Rosa was

in the direction Of the border with the
evident intention OF rai6ing the country

the American forces in that district,
with headquarters at Laredo, has re-
ported to General Funston that he is
taking such measures as possible TO
strengthen the patrol towards the east
and to guard Laredo.
To the east Of Laredo, in 'Zapata
county, across whose southern bound

the American strength is only one troop
of cavalry.

De la Rosa was one of the leaders OF
the group that directed the raids west
OF Brownsville year ago. Since then
he has been a fugitive in his own coun-
try with a price of $1,000 on his head,
offered by the state of Texas.
If the raiders strike American terri
tory in Zapata county little injury to
the residents is anticipated, because,
with the exception of one or two fam
