KNOXVILLE MAN
 HAS NOW LAID HIS
 CRUTCHES ASIDE
Rheumatism and Kidney Affection of Eight Years Standing Entirely
 Disappear

Yes, sir, it's fact, this time last month I was one of the sickest men you ever saw said Frank links, who lives on the Martin Mill pike, South Knoxville, Tenn, and today feel as well and strong as I ever felt in my life.
 q have been suffering from kidney troubles for the past eight years and the pains in my back at times would almost kill me. When I had these spells 1 would have to quit work l nave lost as high as three weeks at time. I also suffered a great deal with rheumatism. About six weeks ago I had it so bad I couldn't walk with out crutches My feet were so swollen I couldn't even put on my shoes. My suffering was terrible, and once or Twice it got so bad I cried.
 af The doctor seemed unable to give me any relief and his medicine seemed to tear my stomach all to pieces. You do not have to take my word for what am telling you--there are 20 people who knew of my condition who will tell you the same thing. My case has been the talk of the neighborhood, and everybody is praising tue medicine.
 '"Tanlac has done me so much good ! hardly know how to praise it. Only two weeks after I began talk ing it I was able to lay my crutches aside and y. Only few days ago l walked from the race track to the South Knox ville Macadam company distance of about four miles. l am now back at work again and can go about as good ss anybody It has not only cured my hack and rheumatism, but I feel ab so1rtely well in every way. l simply can't get enough to eat and everything seems to agree with me. My strength has returned also and I have gained 10 pounds in weight. When I go to Fed at night I sleep like child mething I haven't done for months.
 eff anyone doubts what you tell them about my case, just tell them to call new phone 1923-B and l will be more than glad to tell them about the won derfuI benefit I have received from it. Tanlac is worth its weight in gold and I will always feel grateful for what it has done for me"
 Genuine Tanlac is sold in Birming- ham exclusively by PattonPope Drug Co., and Jacobs drug store. Tn Ems ley by D. w. Morris Drug company; Bessemer, Pegram-Patton Drug com pany; North Birmingham, Walker Drug company. and Pratt City, Gale Drug company.

If you want to pay the laundry and press ing bill for Montgomery banker while he is in New York, vote for the bond issue"
