Ex-Passenger Agent for the
Northern Pacific Discusses For
mer Trouble.

Nearly everybody ia Knoxville,
especially railroad people, know
Captain F. s. Patty, for twelve
years district passenger agent for
the Northern Pacific railroad, with
local Offices in Chattanooga and
general Offices in st. Paul, MINI.
On account Of generally 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 num-
fbers his friends by his acquain-
tances. He is kind, genial gen
tleman Of the old school and is
beloved BY all who know him The
following interesting statement was
made by him in person to a Tanlac
representative:
II am SO years old and always
.
enjoyed good health up to about
six years ago, when / suffered
nervous breakdown and my general
health gradually failed me. My
principal trouble was indigestion
and catarrh, but my whole system
seemed to be out Of shape. MY,
condition finally got 80 bad that /
couldn't sleep at night and always
after eating ! would suffer 80 from
indigestion and heart burn that !
felt just like there was coal Of
fire in my stomach. My hearing
and vision were also affected. I
consulted several doctors here in
Knoxville and other cities and they
helped me considerably and ! finally
got SO I could 60 around, but some-
how / couldn't feel right and could
not sleep at night, which made ME
awfully nervous and nothing II
would eat seemed to agree with
me.
II began reading about tbs
Tanlac when you first came here,
but did not decide to try the medi-
cine until talked with q friend Of
mine who had actually used it. He
said it was the best thing he Ind I
ever taken, and that was sufficient
proof for me.
II have just finished the first
bottle and came here this morning,
not only to buy the second bottle,
but to tell yen just what it has
done for me. / began enjoying my.
meals from the first few drops.
My nervousness is gone and lean
sleep like q child and always wake
Up in the morning ready for break

very fond Of onions, but was al !
most afraid to eat them, because
they always disagreed with me so;
could taste them for hours after

other day and it agreed with me

IVA Quaile reproached himself for
not accepting the actors fears more seri-

the point where Woodford had died-the
point from which, justly or unjustly. he
had clearly shrunk? Certainly there had
been sufficient warning. He remembered
the first night--those steps like Wood
ford's, the messages Carlton had received;
and, most of all, that vague, absurd ira
dition that Woodford dead, as jealously as
Woodford alive, would permit no man to
play his part.
1t was a glimpse of Mikes twitching,
wrinkled face in the doorway that re-
turned him to a saner mind. 1t was clear
that the property-man had surrendered
himself to terror. Quaile arose and grasped

thority.
