The Man He Left Behind.

An English storekeeper went to the
war and left his clerk behind to look
after things. When he was wounded
and taken to the hospital, what was
his surprise to find his clerk in the
cot next to him.
"Well, l thought I left you to take
care of the store" said the store
keeper.
"You did," answered the clerk.
"But you didn't tell me had to look
afr your women folks as we'll as
the store. l stood it as long as /
could and then I said to myself: Look
here, if you've got to fight, you might
as we'll go and fight someone that you
can hit."--London Tit-Bits.

EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT IT.
To Settle A Big Question Rightly,
You Must Investigate 1t and
Discuss It Freely.

The claims made for Natures
Great Remedy, SULFERRO-SOL,
though they may seem rather broad
and strong, are only made so by the
healing power of the remedy itself.
In the suit, SULFERRO-SOL Co.,
VS.. U. S. Court, the Sulferro-Sol
Company put up fifty-fve witnesses,
several of them learned physicians,
and each of whom had either actually
used Sulferro-Sol or had seen it tried.
Of the Fifty-tive witnesses, some tes-
titled of being cured of Chronic Stom-
ach trouble, Indigestion, Pellagra,
Dyspepsia, Eczema, Chronic Abb
scesses, and various forms of Kidney,
Bladder, Skin Blood and Nervous
troubles. The outstanding FACT of
the trial was that it DID CURE.
Don't be misled into buying just
anything. Try something that thou

Without equal in interest, perhaps,
is the very remarkable statement
given in endorsement of Tanlac by
Miss Julia Maynor, Of 1913 Fairview
Ave-, Spartanburg. When she began
taking Tanlac, she said, she was al
most an invalid but now weighs
th;rty-two pounds more and considers
her health perfect, and her statement
follows:
II suffered from terribly run
down condition and became so weak

could not sit up more than an hour
or two at time. had no appetite,
and I had forgotten how it felt to
want to eat. Everything I ate hurt
me, and / suffered from an awful
burning in my stomach. I lost flesh
until looked as if l would almost
fall to pieces.
"Seven different doctors had treat
ed me and my papa took me to every
one 1 though could help me, but if
any of them did me any good I could
not tell it, and the last time I came
home from trip to see a doctor
was so weak I could not hardly get
up the steps.
"It was in January last year that
I began to fail in halth, and in a
month 1 was in such bad shape I
could not do anything, and I was in
bed the greater part Of the time from
February to September, last year,
and when began taking Tanlac

"Tanlac was recommended to me
and finally began taking it. 1

and took about fifteen bottles be-

two pounds by taking Tanlac and
weigh about 125 pounds now and am
still gaining in weight. Really, am
about thirty-five pounds heavier now
than when I began taking Tanlac. I

Tanlac, and the benefit Tanlac gave
