LOOKS LIKE A
DIFFERENT BOY
SAYS MOTHER
Declares Tanlac made a re-
markable change in her
son.

a boy fifteen years old certainly
ought to weigh more than seventy
pounds. but that's all my son, Enrique
weighed until he got to taking this
Tanlac,' said Mrs Maria Madrid OF
SO South Hill street a few days ago
For the past two years, she con-
tinued. in place OF growing Enrique
seemed to be going down hill all the
time. His stomach was in such bad
fix he couldn't eat anything at all
scarcely, and even liquid diet would
sour on his stomach and make him
sick He lost his appetite entirely ana
I just had TO sit by him and coax him
into eating a little something. He
seemed to do him no good his health
was generally run down He always
had headache and would get so dizzy
at times he could hardly stand up.
He was very weak and didn't have
the energy and ambition other boys
Of his age seemed to have he was
very nervous and his sleep seemed to
do him little or no good and he was
drOwsy and lanEuid all the time.
7 gave him all sorts Of medicines
but his condition kept getting worse
instead Of better until I started him
on Ianlac- He has now just about
finished his second bottle Of Tanlac
and the change II has already made
in him IS remarkable. He is gaining
in weight rapidly and his appetite is
just fine and he eats any and everything
he wants and il don't hurt him in the
least His cheeks are filling out and
the color in his face shows his blood
IS getting rich and red again He
looks and acts like q different boy
and gets out and enjoys himself with
the other boys Tanlac certainly has
brought Enrique out wonderfully and
I'm satisfied that there's no other
medicine as good for people in the
condition he was before taking it."

El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1917-09-29

The severity Of the fighting in
which the British have been engaged
during September IS indicated not
only by the total casualties Of more
than 104 900. but by comparison with
the August figures. which were So
S11.
Casualties in some Of the late
August fighting in Flanders are nat
urauy included in the September to-
tai, but this may well be offset by
late September casualties not report
ed in time TO be covered in the fig
ures announced today.
The total compares favOrably. how
ever, with the figures for September,
1916. the third month Of the battle Of
The Somme, when the casualties were
1883.
