charged my cook and began doing

81 had catarrhal fever and what
I think was a light case of the
grippe. I was awfully nauseated and
could not retain even cold water,
much less food. I became so weak
and sick that I had to stay in bed.
When I started Tanlac I had been
in bed three weeks and unable to sit
up. All this time I was under
treatment, and I did not seem to
be gaining strength. I lost heart in
that way of: trying to regain my
health, and so I threw away all my
medicines and began taking Tan
lac.
"The Tanlac gave me back my
appetite right at the start, and I
could just feel myself getting
stronger right along. l have never
known any medicine that would
make a sick person well so quickly
especially one as sick as I was. I
took just two bottles. I am feeling
fine now and Pm getting stronger.
My health is far better than it has
been for a year or so. The Tanlac
surely did make me get well quick
ly-it was just wonderful"

Reopening Plant to

Lincoln, Oct. S,-(Special,) -Gov-

In a letter to f. P. Brown, chair

or says:
Il have carefully considered the
evidence and information submit
ted to your honorable body at the
meeting Of your board on October
5, at which time | was present,
and ! am convinced, first, that a
shortage of hog cholera serum and
virus exists; second, that the farm
ers of Nebraska have experienced
difficulty in securing prompt deliv-
cry of hog cholera serum since the
closing of the state plant. with re-
sultant loss to the hog raiSers and
to the sum total of pork production
in Nebraska. Either OF these con-
illusions would, in my judgment, JUS
tify the reopening of the state plant.
Il, therefore, recommend to your
honorable body that as an emer-
gency war measure. immediate steps
be taken to reopen the state plant.
and to resume the production of
hog cholera serum for distribution
in Nebraska, if funds are available,
or can be made available for that
