WIFE AND HIS SON
Sinking Springs Contractor Says
Tanlac Restored Health and
Harmony at Home
RESULTS CAME PROMPTLY

"My wife was in a bad way from
nervous Indigestion" says Peter r.
Leininger, a well-known stone ma
sonry contractor of Sinking Springs
Pc. She couldn't eat or sleep and
she was in constant misery.
She was awfully nervous and con-
tinually so distended with gas that
she could hardly breathe, for it
seemed as though her diaphragm
was compressed by the distension OF
her stomach.
I'VE had tried many remedies
without satisfactory results and we
had about given up hope when l
read in the paper where Tanlac had
brought relief in similar case. L
bought my wife bottle of this Won
derful medicine and 1T gave her re-
lief from the very first doses. She
improved steadily and it wasn't long
until she found herself enjoying her
meals and sleeping well and long.
1--WE both feel now that she is per-.
manently cured and we have been
giving Tanlac to our young son and
he is rapidly becoming well and
strong so that thanks to Tanlac
health and harmony has been re-
stored to our home"
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store. Tanlac man

Germans in Russia
Openly Stir Strife,
u. S. Envoy Reports

Washington. Nov. 23.-Ambassador
Francis at Petrograd has reported
that German propagandists are now
carrying on almost openly their ac-
tivities to keep affairs unsettled in
the Russian capital
The ambassadors message dated
November 80, said all Americans in
Petrograd and Moscow were safe, and
those at Moscow were safe, and those
at Moscow had decided to remain.
Eighteen Americans had left Petro-
grad on a special train for the Swed-
ish frontier.
Although steps have been taken to
hold up certain shipments to Russia
until the situation there clears, the
war trade board to-day officially de-
nied that no supplies would be per-
mitted to go from the United States
to Russia and announced that cargo
is now moving"
Large consignments of railroad ma
terial already are on the way to Rus
sia, but it is understood that before
they are delivered the United States
government will satisfy itself that
they are not likely to fall into the
hands of any Russian faction opposed
to the prosecution Of the war.
