Friday by Representative Neuffer Of
Abbeville, at the request of the South
Carolina Medical society. 1t is
thought that there will be spirited
fight on the measure when it is placed
on the calendar for passage.
On Friday the house concurred in a
senate resolution prohibiting the sine
die adjournment of the general assem-
bly, on or during Saturday night.
An interesting bill introduced in the
house was that of Representative.
Hamblin of Union, providing for free
dwellings of all employed textile op-
eratives and their families in the
State, the houses to be supplied by the
mill management. A companion bill,
collaborated by Mr.. Hamblin and Rep
resentative Moore of Abbevile. re-
quires the mill managers to establish
bathtubs in and make sewerage con-
nection with all dwellings,.
Representative Cothran of Green
vile introduced a bill in the house
providing for training school for tn
feeble-mnded of the State This bill
was recommended by Governor Man
ming in his message and has the in
dorsement of the State board of
charities and corrections. A similar
measure has been presented to the
senate.

Than She Ever Remem-
bers 'Of Feeling Before"
ABOUT LOST HOPE
Advice Given by Her Pastors Wife
Led to a Wonderful Change in
the Life of Mrs. McManus.

The reason l put so much faith
in Tanlac is because l had taken so
many medicines and they helped me
only while l was taking them, but
Tanlac not only helped me when |
was taking it, but it's benefits have
proved lasting" said Mrs. S. A. Nc
Manus, of 207 Second ST., Olympia,
suburb of Columbia, in statement
she gave in endorsement of Tanlac.
when l quit taking Tanlac, real
| ly felt better than | ever remember
of feeling before. Tanlac is the ONLY
medicine l ever took that helped my
indigestion and nervous troubles.
81 suffered particularly from ner-
vous indigestion, and my system was
| badly run down. | had worried N.Y.
self almost to death over my troubles,
and that made my condition all the
worse. l suffered a lot with head
aches and | could not eat anything.
suffered so much with my head that
was almost crazy at times with the
pains. My nerves were in such bad
shape that if anyone knocked uneX-
pectedly at the door. it would fly all
over me and | would trembic all over
and feel like | was freezing. for my
nerves were a complete wreck.
My husband lost lot of time
from work because he had to stay at
home and work around the house when
l was sick in bed. | never felt well
but | just dragged around the house
and did my work the best | could
when | was not in bed. | never was

though.
81 never have been healthy and
have been doctored all my life, but
continued to suffer and gradually
grew worse, until l had about lost
hope of ever feeling well again.
Then one day my pastors wife
came to visit me, for / was on the
sick list and she urged me to try
Tanlac. | knew it would be we'll to
do so if my pastors wife told me to,
so my husband bought me bottle.
And now / can truthfully say that
Tanlac is the only medicine I have
ever taken that has helped me, and
Tanlac broke up my troubles, even if
had suffered badly for three years
and had suffered less severely for
five or six more years. Tanlac, too.
is the only medicine that ever helped
my indigestion and nervous troubles,
and these troubles, the doctors told me,
were the cause of all my bad health.
/. "The Tanlac gave me fine appe-
tite, increased my strength and made
me able to do my housework I feel
fine now and am not bothered with
my nerves. I do not have headaches
and my stomach is in fine shape. Tan
lac is the best medicine I have ever
taken, and hundreds of dollars have
been spent trying to break up my
troubles.
