CAR FOREMAN HAS
 GAINED 20 POUNDS
Had Pains Around Heart That Caused Him to Lay Awake at Night and Would Be Afraid to Go to Sleep.


 When J. A. Gollher, general ear foreman of the Illinois Central rail road, who lives at sos North 18th street, Birmingham came into Jacobs Drug Store and told about his re- markable recovery, through the use of Tanlac, he added his name to long list of railroad men who have come out and endorsed this great medicine.
 "Ive been a sufferer from indiges- tion and gastritis," said MT. Golliher, flor a good many years. My stomach was as sour as vinegar nearly all the time and my food would hardly digest at all. Whenever l would eat any supper I would nearly always have to vomit it up and it would be so sour that it would actually burn my throat. I had to be mighty careful what l did eat and this kept me bothered all the time, for l knew that 1 would have to eat to keep my strength and get along.
 Gas. would form and my stomach would swell up and give me the worst kind of feelings. had a pain around my heart that caused me to lay awake at night To tell you the truth l was afraid to go to sleep because 1 did not know what that pain was caused from and I was afraid that it might get serious while was sleeping.
 ''I began to lose in weight until 1 fell off about twenty-five pounds and I simply felt bad all the time. l kept right on working, but 1 don't believe I could have stood any hard work. l had several doctors to see me, but nothing did me any good. My condi- tion kept me worried all the time and especially the pain around my heart.
 "I saw in the paper one day about fellow who seemed to have the same trouble that I had and he said that Tanlac had made a new man out of him, so I bought a bottle and began or it. Right from the first I felt change for the good, because I could eat and it would not sour on my stom- ach and I knew that I had the right medicine.
 "I kept on taking this Tanlac just as the directions said and now have finished my seventh bottle and am nearly back to my normal weight. In fact 1 have gained twenty pounds, which is only about two pounds below what I weighed before I had this trouble, and 1 believe that 1 will get those two before 1 get through.
 "The pain around my heart has dis appeared altogether and 1 feel better than I have in a good many years. l certainly do eat plenty now and don't have a bit of trouble digesting it. I sleep just as sound as a baby at night and get up in the mornings feeling strong and ready for a good days work.
 ''I am glad to recommend Tanlac to anybody with the troubles l had, for I believe it will cure them if they will take it. am mighty glad 1 took it and l am glad to have this opportun- ity to tell others of the benefit 1 got from it. I honestly believe that Tan lac is the greatest medicine that was ever brought to this country"
 Genuine Tanlac is sold in Prescott exclusively by Hesterly Drug Store.

SERUM FOOR RAT-BlTE FEVER
Obtained From Veins of Persons
Who Have Recovered.

A group Of eminent Japanese doc
tors has been busy studying rat-bite
fever ever since Futaki. Ishiwara and
their associates reported two years ago
the discovery Of the microbe that
causes 1t. This Is spirochete, so
called because its form is spiral or
zig-Zag. Several types of this spirO-
chete were found In men who had been
bitten by rats, and In guinea pigs that
had been experimentally inoculated.
These were identified by Futaki as In
all probability Identical.
Doctors Renjiro, Kaneko and Kikuzo
Okuda Of the Imperial university in
kyushu, FukuOka, Japan, contribute
to the Journal of Experimental Medi.
cine a confirmation Of Futakis belief !:
Doctor RyOkichi Inada contributes q
description Of the disease Doctors Yu-
taxa lido. Rokuto Holt, Hiroshi Ito and
Hidetsune Wani describe experiments
that prove the rat to be the common
carrier Of the SpirOcheta icterohaemor-
rhagica. as the micrObe of the disease
Is called; and Doctors Yutaka lido, Hi
roshi Ito, Hidetsune Wani and Kikuzo
Okuda discuss the possibility of pro-
ducing immunity.
The latter go into details of their
experiments and come to the conclu-
sion that the "serum of persons who
have recovered from rat-bite fever con.
tains an immune body which DESTROYS
the spirochetes of that disease"
The Importance of these articles lies
In the final proof that this spirochete
is the cause Of the fever, that rats are
the carriers, and that the disease can
be cured.
