his celebrated medicine has been ac-
complishing such remarkable results.
are even more enthusiastic over Tan
lac than Mr.. Cooper himself.
1t is Mr.. Cooper's theory that nine
tenths of the diseases and ill-health
of the average person is due to a ca
tarrhal Inflammation of the mucous
membrane which produces faulty di-
gestion and improper assimilation of
the food.
In recent interview, Mr.. Cooper
was asked If Tanlac would relieve
Kidney trouble, Liver complaint and
a dozen other ailments and in this
connection, said:
"As have repeatedly said, my med
icine acts directly on the mucous
membrane, stomach and blood, expel-
ling from them the impurities and
toxic poisons, and rendering to them
a strong, healthy condition.
81 am convinced that the stomach
regulates the condition of the blood,
and is the fountainhead of health or
disease, as the case may be. My
medicine is intended primarily for the
regulation of the stomach and catar-
rhal Inflammation, but it is no uncom-
mon thing for persons who have used
1t to come to me and explain that it
has relieved them of rheumatism and
many other ailments not generally
recognized as having their origin in
stomach trouble.
Most of the so-called stomach,
liver and kidney troubles" continued
Mr.. Cooper, "are due almost entirely
to a catarrhal Inflammation of these
organs and it is believed that Tanlac
is the first actually direct specific
therefor.
"Catarrh of the stomach, liver and
kidneys is the most frequent cause of
dyspepsia and kidney disorders and a
catarrhal condition of the nose and
throat often leads to deafness. FIRE.
quently the lungs become diseased by
the extension of the catarrhal inflam-
nation by way of the bronchial tubes
to the lung substance. The mental
and physical state of the chronic ca
tarrh sufferers is indeed very unfortu-
nate.
"Tanlac has overcome this condition
In its most obstinate stages, and the
preparation, therefore, must be, as 1
have always contended, the one great

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

No foolishnessl Lift your corns

It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers IL you
apply upon the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small

which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-

This announcement will interest
many OF our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him TO surely

Cattle owners this morning were having
difficulty in identifying their animals from
among the great herd which was liberated
from the pens when the fire was discover
ed. The streets OF both the Kansas Cities
were filled with panic stricken herds OF
cattle running at will. These are fast be-
ing c0rraIled by the owners.
The flames were confined 10 the cattle
