DAIRY FARMER HAS
GAINED 80 POUNDS
Declares He Now Eats Better,
Sleeps Better And Feels
Better In Every Way
Since Taking Tanlac.

Everybody in Columbia, Tenn,
knows F. C. McGavockk, who owns
and operates a large dairy business
ia that city.
If there ever was a believer in
Tanlac," said R. M. Smizer, the we'll
known druggist of Columbia, Tenn,
1T is Mr.. McGavockk, as he talks
about it all the time. But he has a
right 10 talk, as no medicine ever
helped any one like Tanlac has
helped him. He really doesn't look
like the same man." Here is Mr..
McGavockk's statement:
Il have now taken five bottles of
Tanlac and have gained 80 pounds.
If you don't believe it, right here |
am, come and look at me. don't
know what my trouble was, but |
was all run down and was unfit for
work. | think, though, it must have
been my stomach, as had no appe-
tite and nothing seemed to agree
with me. was also nervous and
could not sleep. | just kept going
down hill and losing weight right
along, and nothing did me any good
until Sniser, the druggist, told me
about Tanlac.
Il tried it on his recommendation
and it helped me from the first few
doses. The medicine seemed to
take hold right at once, and | began
to eat better, sleep better and feel
better right from the start. If any
body wants to know what | think
of Tanlac, just tell them to come
and see me. | am right here in
Columbia. Tanlac has simply made
new man of me and | expect to
tell all about what it has done in
my case" z
Referring to the above statement
G. F. Willis, Southern distributor
Of Tanlac, said,
"Tanlac is without exception the
greatest medicine of its kind on the
American market today. The ex.
treme popularity of Tanlac can only
be accounted for by the extraordi-
nary merit of the medicine. The
system, besides being purified, is
toned up and invieorated, as the
preparation aside from its cleansing
the blood, revitalizes the constitu.
ton, overcoming, as it quickly sens
to do, nervousness, indigestion, nom
assimilatian of the food, headaches,
dizziness and other troubles that
are so common"
Tanlac is sold in Evening Shade
exclusively by Barnett Drug Co.; in
Hardy by R. NJ. Jackson Co; in
King Mills by J. T. Locke and in
Williford by Williford Drug Co.

as the "BIouse CASE. became an is
sue in the Common Council of Alex
andria. The state was out of the
union at the time, and the members
of the two bodies had been appoint
ed by the military government.
Blouse had been fined by the Mayor
on the charge of selling whisky on
Sunday. David Turner, member
of the Common Council from the
First ward, had not been convinced
that Blouse was guilty as charged,
and he and few others who
thought as he attempted to get a
resolution through directing the
Mayor to return Sefer's fine.
Blouse's defenders were in the mi
nority, but they seemed determined
to allow no other business to be
transacted BY the city fathers until
the Blouse matter had been disposed
of.
Turner was the most loquacious
of the corporal's guard, and he gen.
orally went to Council with his
speeches written in advance. The
community became very tired of
the Blouse case, and there was a de-
mand upon Council that the matter
be sidetracked indefinitely. The
President of the board refused to
entertain any motion referring to
the matter, and eventually the de-
tenders of Blouse were cast into
an eclipse.
