WIFE OF GEORGIA
RY. ENGINEER
GAINS Is POUNDS
G. G. Geiger Says His Wife Suffered
With Rhematism for Years
-Tanlac Entirely Over
comes Trouble.

"Tanlac has not only relieved my
wife of a very severe attack Of rheu-
matism nut she has actually gained
twenty-five (25) pounds since she be-
gan taking the medicine" said Mr.. c.
G. Gciger. residing at 113 East Linden
Street, Atlanta, Ga, for number of
years employed as engineer by the
Georgia railroad.
Il don't believe I ever saw anyone
suffer with rheumatism as much as she
did, continued Mr. Geiger in his state
ment to the Tanlac representative.
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 they fe t
like they were about to crop eff. Sic
and nervous all the time and unable to
sleep we'll at night. Her appetite fall
ed her and she lost great deal in
weight and strength. She sometimes
got so bad off SHE would have to so to
bed and stay for weeks at time.
When she wasn't in bed she fe't so
tired and played-out she was never
able to- look after her housework
She tried all kinds of medicine, but
nothing seemed to do her much good,
and when l began to hear SO much talk
about T: Mac. 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 Ike a different wo-
man. The rhematism has been entirely
relieved; she doesn't have the head
ache any more, IS no langcr nervous
like she used to be, and she sleeps like
a baby. She has a splendid appetite
and has been gaining strength and
weight right along, and, as l have al
ready told you, she las gained twenty
five pounds. She is full CT lofe and on
ergy now, and is looking afte.' the
houSeWork like sac hadn't ever been
sick.
Il tell you. it's just wonderful tie
way this medicine has helped her. for
she was almost a nervous wreck VIXEN
she started taking it. I'll never be
able to tel you how thankful l am for
what it has done for Ter, anG I'm rec,
ommending it to all my friends. Many
Of them have already began taking it
or my recommendation.

COUNTY AGENT WRITES ABOUT
PLANTING FALL GARDEN.

Now that we have received a fine
rain and have plenty of moisture in
the soil to make Tic seed terminate,
and July being the month to plant the
fall garden. l wish to urge all who
can to get busy and increase tie food
supply by planting a fall garden. 10
have fine fall garden means that you
have all these good things to eat
during the ccld winter days, besides
who will grow a good garden this fall.
So if it is possible to produce and nave
the fine tender fresh vegetables TINS
fall and winter then why not go ahead
right now while there is plenty mols-
ture in the soil make a thorough pre-
narration of your soil thereby holding
the moisture that you now have. DO
not fail to give the garden fresh
supply of fertilizer for this is one
large factor in having success in grow
ing vegetables IN the fall. Mix the
fertilizer with the soil thoroughly use
plenty to keep the plants growing last.
If YOU can use barnyard manure at
the rate Of twenty or thirty loads per
acre keep blowing it in and softening
the ground until you have it thorough
ly worked into the soil, after this pro-
cess you are in good shape
to grow vegetables during the
fall and winter. Now if you will take
pains and prepare and plant this gar
den you viii have something in Octab-
err and November that you will feel
proud of besides it means SO much
for the house wife to go out in her
own garden in the autumn days and
gather all the nice tender fresh veg
tables she wants for her dinner. We
can on this fine rich land and with
this fine climate in which we live make
it possible to grow and have all the
irish potatoes, cabbage. lettuce, spin
ach, parsley, endive tomatoes, egg
green peppers and beans. To get the
soil in condition. To use plenty of
fertilizer. To give intensive cultiva-
ton. am quite sure you will be sue
cessful in growing vegetables in the
fall. Now is the time to get busy at
once Firm all seed in the soil by the
roller or press them in by walking on
the seed bed or any other way just SC.
you get the sed pressed in the soil this
pressingthe sed in the soil no DIS mois-
ture and helps the seed terminate. l
hope every farm home in Lite River
County this year will have fell and
winter garden. Ask your county agent
for any information along this line he
will gladly do all he can for you.
Yours truly.
