SALT LAKE MAN
GAINS 20 POUNDS
TAKING TANLAC
Frank Curry Says He Feels
Thirty Years Younger
Troubles Overcome.

Remarkable, indeed, was the state
ment made recently by Frank Curry,
who lives at BIT Post street, Salt Lake
City. Utah, and is known throughout
the city as an expert baker. Mr.. Curry
declared that he has actually gained
20 pounds by taking a few bottles of
TanIac. and that while he is now past
so years of age, he really doesn't feel
day over 80. His complete statement
follows:
1.-THE way this Tanlac has restored
my health and built me up is beyond
explaining. In fact. I wonder myself
how any medicine could do anybody
as much good as it has me. Five years
ago, when I realized my system was
getting all run down and I began to
feel so depressed. started out to find
a remedy to relieve my condition.
Well, I tried numbers of things that
were recommended, but continued to
get worse instead of better. So about
two years ago began to have intense
pains from my shoulders on down into
my hips. My back became weak and
my kidneys and bladder got SO de-

extent. I suffered so couldn't lie on
either side, and between constantly
being disturbed by my kidneys, ex-
treme nervousness and misery, I could
never sleep more than an hour or two
at night, and then I had to lie on my
back to get any ease or rest at all. My
liver was in bad shape, I was badly
constipated and I often had severe
dizzy spells. My stomach couldn't d.
gest anything, my food formed lots of
gas and uric acid. and my right side
hurt me all the time. In fact, was in
pain every hour, day and night, and
besides this felt sluggish, tired and
no-account all the time, and unfit for
anything.
'I saw where Tanlac was doing so
much for others that decided to see
If there was anything in 1t for me. So,
on December 18th, I got my first bot
tie, and after using it for several days
I noticed the pains in my arms. back
and other parts of my body were
leaving me. Then my kidneys got
better and my nerves got in a per-
fectly normal condition. My kidneys
never bother me now, I sleep all night
like log and am full of new life and
energy. really feel 80 years younger,
and you can imagine my surprise
when I got on the scales and found I
had actually gained 20 pounds in
weight. I consider Tanlac to be the
greatest of all medicines, for what
have gotten from it is beyond my
words to express. I know there are
lots of other people who need just
such a medicine and I feel that it is
nothing but right for me to tell them
about it."

losing weight right along, and nothing
did me any good until Smiser. the
druggist, told me of Tanlac.
II tried 1t on his recommendation
and it helped me from the first few
doses. The medicine seemed to take
hold right at once. and I began to eat
better, sleep better and feel better from
the start If anybody wants to know
what I think of Tanlac, just tell them
to come to me. 1 am right here in
Columbia. Tanlac has simply made a
new man of me and expect to tell all
my friends about what it has done in
my case"

ARKANSAS WOMAN
GAINED II POUNDS

Il now enjoy better health than
have in years, and 1 can't refrain
from letting my friends and others
know how thankful 1 am for what
Tanlac has done for me-" said Mrs. e.
NJ. Imam, of 231O Chester street, Lit
tie Rock, Ark, recently.
I'm the winter of 1885, she con-
tinued, Il was taken with a severe
cold, and all winter 1 continued to go

and had to sit up in bed most of the
night. l was extremely nervous, felt
tired and weak all the time and every
thing 1 ate soured on my stomach.
fell off nineteen pounds in seven
weeks, and was getting worse so rap
idly that my family and friends, as
well as myself, saw no hope for my
recovery.
MY husband brought home a bot
tie of Tanlac in June, 1916, and after
I took about half of it 1 began to eat
and my food stopped souring on my
stomach. After 1 finished my first
bottle I could eat anything at any
time without it hurting me in the
least. At the end of my third week
1 had gained five and a half pounds
I kept on taking 1t and improving and
picking up from three to four pounds
a week until all my troubles were gone
and I had increased in weight from
113 pounds to 40, making an actual
gain of twenty-seven pounds

MANY PEOPLE REPORT
BIG GAINS IN WEIGHT
of Thin, Frail
People Are Restored to
Health and Gain Rapid
ly in Weight by TAX
ing Tanlac.

One of the most noteworthy feat
ures in connection with the introduce
ton of TanIac, and the one that stands
out more prominently than any other,
perhaps, is the very large number of
well-known men and women from all
parts of the country who have recently
reported an astonishing and rapid in
crease in weight as result of its use.
When so many well-known people
of unquestioned integrity make state
ment after statement, each corrobor-
ating the other, the truth of such
statements can no longer be doubted.
Thousands have testified that this
famous medicine has completely re-
stored them to health and strength,
after every other medicine and the
most skilled medical treatment have
failed.
One of the most remarkable cases
on record is that of Mrs. Charles Pc
den, of Huntsville, Ala, whose state
ment appears below. Mrs. Peden, ac-
cording to her own signed statement,
gained twenty-seven CID pounds in
only a few weeks time, and her case
has created a widespread interest over
the entire country. She is reported to
have received over eight hundred
(SOO) letters regarding her statement
since publication.
Hundreds of others almost as re-
markable have recently been received,
several of which are also published
below.

TO JAIL, TEEN FUNSTON
Negroes Couldn't Confine Last Peace
Party to Themselves.

Two motor cars loaded with police
men were rushed to North Topeka late
Wednesday afternoon in answer to a
near riot call" The trouble was
started by Micky Watts and Jim Jor-
dan, two negroes who had been arrest
ed several days ago for having liquor
in their possession, and who objected
to being picked up on a commitment
following their being turned in on
bond" by Mrs. Kate Hoffman. The
couple is in the draft call to Funston
Friday and the men objected to spend
ing their last day at home in Jail.
Following threats of Watts and Jor-
dan to fight to keep out of Jail, a party
headed by Chief Harbaugh went to
North Topeka and convinced Jordan
that If he would accept his commit
ment peacefully he would be released
Immediately again on another bond.
Watts could not be found. but the
party with Jordan had hardly reached
the station when report came that
beaten up by negroes in sympathy
with Watts. Garrett was found badly
bruised but not injured seriously Ella
Buckner, a police character, and Watts
were Immediately arrested, putting an
end to further trouble as the Buckner
woman is said to have been respon-
sible for the failure of Watts to listen
to reason. Jordan was released on
bond Wednesday night, but because of
the part Watts played in the oppo-
sition to Garrett and the attack on the
patro1man he remained in Jail.

rheumatism, disordered kidneys and
stomach trouble that life was a bur-

two hours sleep in two or three nights
1 was lucky. 1 had no appetite, and
honestly, for two years, 1 didn't eat
as much in two eeks as I do now in

Il started taking Tanlac, and by the
time 1 finished my third bottle every

I commenced to feel like another man.

SO 1 got another bottle. and that

MRS. CHAS. PEDEN
GAINS II POUNDS

II have just finished my third bot
tie of Tanlac, and have gained twenty
seven pounds" was the truly remark
able statement made by Mrs. Charles
Peden, residing at 55 Mill street,
Huntsville. Ala.
When I commenced taking the
medicine" she continued, ct only
weighed ninety-eight (9s) pounds;
now I weigh 125 pounds, and never
felt better in my life. For years
have suffered with a bad form of
stomach trouble, constipation and
pains in my side and back. At times
the pains took the form of torture, and
I was twice examined, and each time
I was told that 1 had appendicitis, and
that an operation would be my only
hope.
II had made all preparations for the
operation, and called in my sister to
tell her good-by, as I did not know
whether I would live to see her again
or not. My sister begged and pleaded
with me not to allow them to cut on
me, and told me to wait and try a
good tonic for awhile. The next day,
as I returned from the consultation
room, thought of what she said, and
as I had heard so much about Tanlac,
I decided to try it, and got a bottle.
ST never returned for the operation,
DuI just kept IdklHR 1dnldc- Right
from the start 1 began to feel better.
The medicine seemed to take hold
right at once.
Il was so happy over the wonderful
improvement in my condition that I
sent for my neighbors to tell them
how much better I felt. I sent and
got another bottle of Tanlac, and have
just finished taking my third bottle,
and feel as if 1 have been made all
over again into new woman"
