without getting relief
Referring to DR.. Cheeks statement,
DR.. E. w. Goode, the well known
Hawkinsville druggist, said:
CDR. Cheek was in my store few
days ago and was conversing with
some gentlemen regarding the merits
of Tanlac, and his experience with
Tanlac was so remarkable that ]

the statement just as he gave it to
me and enclose same herewith, which
is as follows:
