 "Yes, sir, for twenty-two long years I never knew what it was to be able to eat what I wanted without terrific suffering afterward," she continued. q suffered with pains be- tween my shoulders and my stomach just felt like there was a hot brick in it. It would get all bloated up from gas that formed, and I would choke and smother so l could hardly get my breath. I was so nervous that often I couldn't lay in bed, but would get up and walk the floor for hours at the time.
 q had heard so much about the won derful relief Tanlac was bringing suffering people that I decided to try it, and it's tn honest truth, after talk ing five bottles I haven't a sign of trouble. I eat anything I want and never have any pains or even feel un- comfortable. The nervousness is all gone, and I sleep sound all night long, and get up in the morning feeling fine and full of energy. I've gained twelve pounds in weight, and my improve ment is the talk of the neighborhood All my friends compliment me on the way I look now" Tanlac sold by all Jackson County Druggists.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
 NOT BE CURED.


 by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure ca tarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re- suit. Unless the inflammation car be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mu- cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi- cine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
