Immediately upon the compila-

81 have not only gained twenty

does me so much good that my doctor,
after seeing the improvement this
medicine brought, advised me to keep

such agony with my stomach, that |
wasn't able to do a thing around the
house. In fact, | was hardly able to
get around at all l completely lost
my appetite and what l did force
down, caused me so much pain, l
could hardly stand it, OF course this
got my nerves in a terrible condition,
and | hardly knew what it was TO
sleep at night, and I'd just roll and
toss until morning"

taken to the hospital and had an
operation performed. | was there
for five weeks, and when | finally got
back home, | was a perfect wreck.

to get up and move around, it was no
use. was too weak. / just could
MT do it. Everybody insisted that /
go back to the hospital, but l said,
mo" l had been through so much
that / Just coldn't bear the thought of
going back there again.
"Then | decided to try Tanlac, as
had heard so much about it and it's
the honest truth that this medicine
did more for me than ! ever thought
anything could do. l have taken six
bottles now and my stomach is in
splendid condition. ! have fine APP

Let us, then, lay aside the affecta-
ton and arrogance of manhood and
womanhood and be children again.
Let us adopt their point of view ana
put ourselves in their places-in the
places of these sons and daughters of
ours and of the sons and daughters of
our neighbors. 1t was only year or
two ago, as it seems, when we hung
our well-worn stockings in row along
the mantel shelf. while our fathers,
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure at the innocent confidence we,
showed in what the morrow would
bring forth.
Even as you and l. 1t all comes
back in a flood of memories. Life
was simpler then. Our desires were
less pretentious than those our chill
