lGREAT CHANGE IS 1 { NOTICED IN IN CAPT.
 PATHS CONDITION Prominent Railway Official Had to Quit Work on Ac-
 count of Failing Health s WHOLE SYSTEM WAS 8OUT OF SHAPE, HE SAYS Had Heartburn So Bad It Felt Like Coal of Fire in
 His Stomach-Can Now
 Eat Anything

Nearly everybody, especially railroad
 people, knows Capt F. S. Patty, for l.
 years district passenger agent for the
 Northern Pacific railroad with local of- Z fees in Chattanooga and general offices in St. Paul, Minn.
 On account of general failing health Captain Patty was forced to discontinue
 active work and for the past few years
 has been making his home in Knoxville, where he numbers his friends by his ac-
 quaintances. He is a kind, genial gen
 tleman of the old school and is beloved by all who know him. The following interesting statement was made by him IT
 person to MT. c. F. Willis
 q am 69 years old and always en-
 loved very good health up to about six { years ago, when I suffered nervous breakdown and my general health gradu-
 ally failed me.
 My principal trouble was indigestion
 and catarrh, but my whole system seemed < to be out of shape. My condition finally < got so bad I could not sleep at night
 and always after eating I would suffer ' so with indigestion and heartburn that ]
 felt just like there was a coal of fine { in my stomach. My hearing and vision
 were also affected
 < q consulted several doctors here in
 Knoxville and other cities and they helped
 me considerably and I finally got so { could get around, but somehow I just
 could not feel right and could not sleer at night, which made me awfully nervous
 and nothing I would eat seemed to agree
 with me.
 q began reading about Tanlac when
 you first came here, but did not decide tc < try the medicine until I talked with a
 friend of mine who had actually used
 it. He said it was the best thing he had
 ever taken and that was sufficient proof
 to me.
 1T have just finished the first bottle
 and came here this morning, not only to buy the second bottle, but to tell you
 just what it has done for me. I began enjoying my meals from the first few doses. My nervousness is gone and can
 sleep like child and always wake up in the morning ready for breakfast and { feeling refreshed. I am very fond of onions, but was almost afraid to eat them because they disagreed with me, SC
 could taste them for hours afterwards
 ate one for dinner the other day and
 1t agreed with me perfectly and I felt
 no bad after-effects whatever I am be-
 ginning to feel like different man now
 and am always going to keep this Tan lac on hand. It has done me more good than anything else in the medicine line have ever taken. I certainly do recom- mend it to my friends. It is really re- markable."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store, and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,, and in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,; in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,; in Bessemer by mingham by Walker Drug Co.,, and ir Pratt City by Gale Drug Co.

from that government be obtained as

State Department exchanged notes with
Bolivia, and the hnal result was that
the Bolivian minister of foreign affairs
signed an assurance that there would
be no future discrimination against the

The value of tin-smelting industry

The smelling industry itself will give

establish credits In our markets in their
favor and lead to the establishment OF
commercial relations with that country
which would otherwise have been diff
