WIFE OF ENGINEER
GAINS 25 POUNDS
c. c. Geiger says His wife Suffered
With Rheumatism for Years-Tan-
lac Entirely Overeomes Troubles.

"Tanlac has not only relieved my
wife Of a very severe attack of rheu-
matism, but she has actually gained
twenty-five (25l pounds since sheabe-
gan taking the medicine" says Mr.. G.
G. Geiger, residing at 1873 East Lin-
den street, Atlanta, Ca, for number
Of years employed as engineer by the
Georgia railroad
Il don't believe ! ever saw anyone
suffer with rheumatism as much as
she did," continued Mr.. Geiger in his
statement to the Tanlac representa-
tive. Sometimes her feet would swell
so she couldn't get her shoes on. The
pains in her arms were so great at
times she would remark that she felt
like they were going to drop off. She
had severe headaches, and was dizzy
and nervous all the time and unable
to sleep we'll at night. Her appetite
failed her and she lost a great
deal in weight and strength She
sometimes got so bad off she would
have to go to bed and stay for weeks
at time. When she wasn't in bed she
felt SO tired and played out she was
never able to look after her house
work.
"She tried all kinds Of medicine, but
nothing seemed to do her much good,
and when | began to hear so much talk
about Tanlac, just made up my mind
to lay all the other medicines aside
and put her on Tanlac.
"She has now finished her fourth
bottle and she is like a different wo
man. The rheumatism has been en-
tirely relieved; she doesn't have the
headache any more, is no longer nerv-
GUS like she used to be, and she sleeps
like baby. She has a splendid appe-
tite and has been gaining strength and
weight right along, and, as ! have al
ready told you, she has gained twenty
five pounds. She is full of life and
energy now, and is looking after the
housework like she hadn't ever been
sick.
II tell you, it's just wonderful the
way this medicinephas helped her, for
she was almost nervous wreck when
she started taking it. I'll never be
able to tell you how thankful | am for
what it has done for her, and I'm rec
ommending it to all my friends. Many
of them have already begun taking it
on my recommendation"

mob broke open the city jail at Fulton,
Ky, and carried Lawrence Dempsey.

murder Of Clarence Dublin, an Illinois
Central Waterman there, on MAY 3.

hanged by the neck by unknown part
les, cause of same being unknown.

to Padueah and identified by Dublin,
who is in the |. C. hospital. Dublin
found the negro in a box car on May
9 and after searching him turned him
loose. AS he walked away the negro
attacked him from the rear and cut a
cash about five inches long and an
inch deep in his neck and also cut him
several times on the body and was
holding him so he would bleed to
death, but was frightened away by
an employee who was going to work.
Dublin is in the Illinois Central hos
pital at Paducah in serious condi-
tion.
