Rogers Was Unable to
Move Without Help
GIVES TANLAC CREDIT FOX
WORKING GREAT CHANGE
FOR HIM.

-. " lF.FsHSr 80
From q condition from which he
suffered so that heshad to be helped
around, Ora H. Rogers, of 1909
|Kossuth St., New York, was chang
ed into a vigorous man who could
walk miles without having pains
Because of this remarkable benefit,
Mr.. Rogers said, 81, praise Tanlac
above all other medicines, because"
as he publicly stated, "Tanlac work
ed the change" Mr.. Rogers state
ment is so interesting and holds
such encouragement for others that
it is given word for word.
"I suffered from rheumatism and
pains so bad that I often had to be
helped when I walked across the
ROOM" he declared. "That was
only a few weeks ago, and now /
can walk miles without suffering
any pains.
81 will say right here" he con-
tinued, "that rheumatism and stom-
ach trouble are about the worst
things a mar can have. l had pains
down my legs and through my body.
l had to sit down for hours, but
this only gave me a little relief.
81 tried many medicines, but not
n of them seemed to do me a
particle of good. 1 kept hearing such
good reports from people of what
Tanlac was doing for others that l
decided to give it a trial. The first
bottle gave me some relief from
those dreadful pains in my legs and
back.
GAS / kept on with Tanlac l be-
a to feel like a new men. The
pains passed away, I could go any
where l wanted, and, as said, ira
vel miles by myself: You can i'm
agirc how | felt to finally find a
medicine with such merit as this
wonderful Tanlac.".

But Lloyd waited FIR no more. With
wild Joy at his heart, he took a belt
from one Of the ammunition boxes ~
ing beside the gum and followed the
dying mans instructions. Then he
pressed the thumbpiece and a burst Of
fire. rewarded his efforts. The gun
was working"
Training it on the Germans he shout
ed for joy as their front rank went
down.
Traversing the gun back and forth
along the mass Of Germans, he saw
them break and run back to the cover
of their trench leaving their dead and
wounded behind. He had saved his
company, he, Lloyd, the coward, had
"done his bit" Releasing the thumb
piece, he. looked at the watch on his
wrist. He was still alive at g :38"
ping pa bullet sang through the
air, and Lloyd fell forward across the
gun. A thin trickle,of blood ran down
his face from. a little, black round hole
In his forehead. -,
'The sentence OF the court had been
"duly carried out" y
The captain slowly raised the limp
form dropping over the gun and, wip-
ing the blood from the white face, rec
@ognized' 1t as Lloyd, the coward of D
company. Reverently covering the face
with his handkerchief he turned to his
"noncoms" and, in a voice husky with
emotions, addressed them:
1Boys, it's Lloyd, the deserter. He
has redeemed himself, died the death
of q hero--died that his mates might
live" -
That afternoon a solemn procession
"wended it's way toward the cemetery.
In the front a stretcher was carried by
two s%ergeants. Across the stretcher
the Union Jack was carefully spread.
Behind the stretcher came a captain
and forty-three men, all that were left
of D'companyr -"
Arriving at the cemetery, they halt
ed in front Of an open grave. All about
them wooden crosses were broken and
trampled into the ground
A grizzled old sergeant, noting this
destruction, mutteSed under his
breath Course the cowardly blighter
who wrecked those c~rossesI If I could
only get these two hands around his

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority Of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need Of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention ~this parer---Ady.
