FEELS AS WELL AS
 SHE DID 40 YEARS AGO
'T Wouldn't Take Ten Dol- lars a Bottle for the Good Tanlac is Doing Me-" Says Mrs.
 Lavery.

q was on the flat of my back in bed with nervous prostration when I started taking Tanlac, but now I feel as well as l did forty years ago. said Mrs. Sarah Lavery, 533 Hagrun St, Nashville, Tenn.
 "I had been in a bad fix this way for a long time," she con- tinued. My stomach would give me severe pain and l had fearful sick headaches and wouldwould have attacks of dizziness. My kidneys were af- fected and 1 began to have rheumatism of the worst kind. My joints were all swelled and my hands were so puffed up l couldn't hold a knitting needle. I was so nervous and unStrung that I had begun to think my time for this world was short.
 q wouldn't take ten dollars a bottle for the good this Tanlac is doing me. I feel twenty years younger already My nerves are as quiet as a lamb, 1 can eat anything l want without the least bit of trouble and my rheumatism is disappearing. l can knit all 1 want to and am in a good humor all the time. l feel like nothing could have done all this for me but Tanlac.
 Tanlac is sold in Brinkley by M. B. Converse and one estab- lished agency in every town.

Understanding the Bible.

I believe that the Bible is to be un- derstood in the plain and obvious meaning of it's passages; for I cannot persuade myself that book intended for the instruction and conversion of the whole world should cover its true meaning in any such mystery and doubt that none but critics and philos- ophers can discover it.-Daniel Web- Ster.
