ifar-reaching disease baniShing, health compelling remedy of the age, and the phenomenal success the prepa- ration has achieved throughout the country proves conclusively that my confidence in Tanlac is well placed.
 ''The ingredients or medicinal ele- ments which make Tanlac come from many remote sections of the earth the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia, West Indies, mountain states near the Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru are among the points from which prin- cipal parts of the preparation are ob- tained. In the principal laboratory of the Cooper Medicine O., Inc, under the efficient direction of a chemist of note. those medicinal herbs, roots and barks are assembled in the rough and tain that high standard of efficiency shown by the uniform preparation, Tanlac"

 Memphis dealers and jobbers have sold 2os,l16 bottles since April. 1916. Texas dealers and jobbers have sold approximately Half Million bottles within the past six months, and it is now the most widely talked of medi- cine in the world today.
 There Is only one explanation for this Nation wide popularity and rec ord breaking demand for Tanlac and that is very simple. The inherent purity and whOlesOmeness of the med icine has confirmed 1t in the minds of the people and have made it house. hold word throughout America.

Backache

In spite of the best care one takes of oneself, any part of the human machine is liable to become out of order. The most important organs are the stomach, heart and kidneys.
 The kidneys are the scavengers and they work day and night in separating the poisons from the blood. Their signals O! distress are easily recognized and in- clude such symptoms as backsche, de pressions, drowsiness. irritability, head aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges, dropsy, gout.
 "The very best way to restore the kidneys to their normal state oi health, 7 says Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., ''is to drink plenty of pure water and obtain from your favorite pharmacy a small amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by almost every druggist" Anuric IS mex pensive and should be taken before meals. You will find Anuric more potent than Ethia, dissolves uric acid as water does sugar.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
 DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No foclishness! Lift your oorns and calIuses off with fingers
 It's like magic!

Sore corns. hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
 For little cost one can get small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid ones feet of every corn or callus without pain.
 This simple drug dries the moment It is applied and does not even irri- tate the surrounding skin while ap- plying 1t or afterwards.
 This announcement will interest many of our readers. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to surely get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

thousands or the most prominent people in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Dallas, Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Louis vile. Nashville and even the larger cities of the North and East, where his celebrated medicine has been ac- complishing such remarkable results, are even more enthusiastic over Tan lac than Mir. Cooper himself.
 Ii is Mir. Cooper's theory that nine tenths of the diseases and ill-health Of the average person is due to ca tarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane which produces faulty d. gestion and improper assimilation of the food.
 In a recent interview, Mir. Cooper was asked If Tanlac would relieve Kidney trouble, Liver complaint and c 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 6 strong, healthy condition.
 "I 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 it 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 Mir. Cooper, 'are due almost entirely 10 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 10 deafness. Ere quently the lungs become diseased by the extension of the catarrhal inflam- nation by way of the bronchial tubes 10 th. lung substance.

.HO MY COMRADES

This to remind you of another Re-
union of the old Twelfth-at Reeds
burg, Wednesday and Thursday, Sep
TENDER and 6. Our good comrades
and other friends there will heartily
welcome US and do their best to give
US a good time. Let US accept their
hospitality and enjoy one more glad
gettingtogether before we are muster
ed out. 1t will do US all good to re-
new our comradeship.
There will be the usual Roll Call at
four o'clock on Wednesday, and that
evening a Reunion Campfire. The
business melting will be held on Thurs
day morning.
Every comrade who cannot come
should write US letter of greeting,
telling how he is getting along on the
long march. In particular let US know
about deaths of comrades
dates, and places-also changes of
addresses.
If you wish the usual Reunion Story
printed, send little something to help
