TANLAC BETTER THAN
 SPRINGSSAYS STEELE
Popular Mounted Officer Was So Weak He Couldn't
 Walk Over a Block

If there is a man in Memphis who believe in Tanlac, that man IS Gus Steele, the popular police offi- cer, who is in charge of Barksdale mounted station. MT. Steele has been on the Memphis police force for the past twelve years, and is an accommodating and efficient officer. Inspeaking of the remark able benefits he had derive from Tanlac. he said:
 T have had rheumatism for sixteen years and last winter l had the grippe and came near dying with pains in my back and sides. After getting up from my bed last January, l was so weak and had such awful pains, l could not walk two blocks without glv- ing cut. I would have shortness of breath and sometimes would have to just gasp for breath. l could not eat anything hardly, and sometimes when l would go to the table would just have to get up and leave. The very sight of food made me sick at the stom- ache. l could not sleep and was cross and irritable all the time. l lost twenty pounds in weight and was just completely down and out.
 did everything man could think of trying to get relief. l even went to Hot Springs, Ark ansas, and NIzrttiihns~ille, Indiana, but receivedmightly little bene- fit.
 That is just the shape was in when I began taking Tanlac. l am on my second bottle now and can eat anything want and plen- ty of it, and everything agrees with me. Those awful pains l had in my back and sides and chest are about gone and my rheu- matism has improved wonder fully.
 My strength has returned so l can work anywhere. To tell the truth, feel just like a new man and am getting to be like my ole self again. All of my friends car see the big change in me. and am telling everybody about Tan
 lac If the people don't believe
 what 1 am telling, you just tel them to come to see me and they can see for themselves. 7
