Smith Feels Like New Man
Since Taking Tanlac.--
Suffered 80 Years

One of the strongest and most con-
vineing evidences of the popularity
of Tanlae throughout America is the
large number of letters that are be-
ing received daily from well known
men and women, telling Of the re-
markable results they have derived
from its use.
Among the many received in the past
few days is one from John Smith, 3lS
Eighth street, Richmond California,
which is especially interesting. Mr..
Smith states that he had suffered for
twenty years, with his stomach, liver
and kidneys, and had reached the point
where he wished each breath would be
te last. He also says that when he be-
gan taking Tanlac he weighed only
one hundred and forty eight pounds,
but that he now weighs one hundred
and sixty six-making a gain of eigh-
teen pounds-and that he feels like a
new man. Following is his letter in
full:
"To whom it may concern: |, the un-
dersigned. can truthfully say that the
wonderful medicine known as Tanlac
has done more for me in thirty days
time, than any other medicine have
ever taken before in all my life. |
have been sufferer from stomach,
liver and kidney troubles for twenty
years. have taken six bottles of Tan
lac and today l feel like new man.
HBefore | started using Tanlac it
didn't make any difference what |
would eat or drink, it distressed me so
much that | wished the next breath
would be my last Also when | started
taking this wonderful medicine, | on
ly weighed one hundred and forty
eight pounds. Today l weigh one hun
dred and sixty six pounds--have gain
ed eighteen pounds already-and am
still gaining. Also before taking Tan
lac couldn t sleep either night or day,
but now | average about nine hours
steady sleep and | have an appetite

for what it has done for me-

HELL, HEAVEN OR
RODOKEN IS SLOGAN
Captain R. D. Byrd Writes Of
things As They Are
Over There"

The slogan of the Americans here in
France is ''Hell or Heaven or Hoboken
by Christmas
Captain R. ID. Byrd of Salem, of tne
Medical Reserve corps, Machine Gun
battalion, in writing a friend here,
thus states the feeling of the boys over
there. He adds: 81 do not think 1t
will be HOboken that soon, but it is
the right spirit anyway"
Under date of August 4, Captain
Byrd now in France, writes that in eros.
sing he did not see a submarine, and
that after few days in England he was
ordered to France where he saw a large
number of German prisoners. He was
imposed with the number of women
dressed in mourning.
He writes in part as follows: 'Therp
are to be seen very few men in France
capable of bearing arms. They are all
at thv front and nothing but children
and women very old old men are left
In the smaller villages you do not SET
any young women. They are either
working in the munition plants Or il
the harvest fields.
"Our battalion is billeted in twt
small villages, about half a mile apart
You never saw any place so filthy as
this is where the family and all live
stock live under one roof. We now have
the place pretty well cleaned up. Their
is a canal passing through the town
where you can see donkeys, goats and
mules hitched to the boats pulling then
along at snail's pace. We can buy
wine and beer here but l do not care
much for their beer.
Our nearest approach to the front
has been l5 miles and we could dis
tinctly hear the big guns and not day
passes that we don't see airplanes pas
sing over us.
So This is the habitat Of the wild boai
and since the war, with no one left tC
hunt them, they have became a menace
destroying crops. Some of us are goina
to take guide and try our luck al
hunting them.
" How are all the boys2 l would like
to be back with you but on the othei
hand | would not miss being here foi
anything in the world We don't eet
much news as there seems TO be nc
such thing as an English paper, but the
rumors we get sounds good. 1t seem!
the Americans are giving them touch
of high life"

ish, French and Americans are snugg'
ling up closer to their former lines.
If the rains continue, mud will force a
further slackening. Still, the weather
has been exceptionally dry since before
the offensive and the German is thirs-
ty, so much of tn moisture can be
absorbed But an early setting in of
the rainy season, which is now liable
at any time, would affect the whole
trend Of the remainder of the cam
paign,
Today, despite local fighting where
the British and French were driving
in the last German outposts westward
of the Hindenburg line, the western
front was virtually marking time, pend
ing commencement of the new phase
of the campaign.
Experts here were totally at variance
regarding this new phase of the fight
| ing. Some declared that Foch would
not permit Ludendorff to get his sec
ond wind at the Hindenburg line, in
timating that great blow is practi-
cally certain. Others doubted whether
there would be any real offensive be-
fore spring.
German critics, however, speak as
il they were all drawing their inspira'
tion from the same fountain, which
hitherto has actually been the case
They admit te allied blow was 50 ser
ious that German plans, certainly as
far as 1918 was concerned, were com
pletey upset, and they suggest that
no further offensive is possible from
their side, although it is no secret
that Hindenburg, by shortening his
lines, has accumulated some forty divi
sions of passable reserves with per
haps as many more entering into the
process of reorganization and taking
the rest cure.
