Taking Tanlac.

"I have undergone such a change"
said Captain P. NJ. Wilson of 14o East

since I began taking this Tanlac that
my friends hardly know me on first

right side and back. Many time l
sat in the cab of my engine all
doubled over with misery. thinking
the next station I pulled into I would
be compelled to give up. They said
this pain was caused by gallstones
and that an operation was the only
thing that would save me. I don't
know what the trouble was. but was
in SO much pain that I couldn't sleep
much, and even IN my doing at night

as possible, but at last I had TO give
her up.
'I had about decided to have the
operation when a good friend advised
me to try Tanlac, saying it was the
best railroad mans medicine in the
world. Well, when he left me had
made up my mind to try Tanlac as a
last resort before going to hospital.
So had them get me bottle and be-
fore I had finished taking it told my
wife if it kept on helping me like it
had started I would never see the in

And sure enough, 1t kept helping me
more and more each day. My pain
began to ease up so that I was
amazed. began to want to eat and
soon found I could eat plenty of good,

just feel new strength and energy

If I ever had gallstones I don't feel
a sign of them now. My pain is not
only gone, but I have actually gained
thirty-two pounds in weight, and as
1 said I have undergone such a
wonderful change that my friends
hardly know me on first sight. So it
was Tanlac that put me back on my
old engine when had about lost hope
OF ever being able to pull the throttle

FLU TOLL MORE THAN WARS
Ten Died From the Disease for

War Losses % Million; Largest
Life Policy S575,OOO.

New York. Sept 3.-The rate of
mortality which American life insur-
ance companies had to meet in 1918
was about 80 per cent greater than
1917 and II per cent higher than the
average death rate for a score of
years.
This is the statement in A summary
made public today by the Insurance
Press, reviewing the life insurance dis
tributions last year by insurance or
ganizations operating in the United
states and Canada. including the
transactions of the bureau of war risk

men.
Flu Worse Than War.
Ten persons died from influenza for
each American soldier killed in bat
tie, the report declares. placing the
number of influenza deaths at a half
million.
Stating that influenza was mainly
responsible for the increase in the
number of deaths, the report con-
tinues:
"Thirty-eight life insurance COM
panies paid $93,OOO,OOO more than in
1917 for death claims and endow-
ments. The increase in death loss
paid by legal reserve companies was
approximately 123.000,000 in the
United states and Canada on lives I'M
der the age Of So"
War Cost Them 1913 100000.
The Insurance Press confirms a re-
port OF the Connecticut Insurance
company that war claims, meaning all
deaths suffered by men in the service,
not including influenza, were equiva-
lent to about 6 per cent increase
over normal mortality. on that basis
the war losses by life insurance COM
panies OF the United states in 1918
amounted to S23,O0O.0OO.
War mortality 1t is stated, will con-
tinue in a decreasing proportion for
from five to ten years, inasmuch as

A DISCOVERY THAT
Benefits MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac.
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to semi-Hquid form.
In 1888 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to a dry
ponder form with extract of matted
grains, zrithout cane sugar.
This product HoRLIcK named
Matted MIX. (Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.
