CAPTAIN ENNIS
SAW BIG CHANGE
IN SOLDIER SON
Prominent Police Official
Says Improvement is Due to
Tanlac,

Nearly everybody in Kansas City
either knows or has heard Of Captain
J. ]. Ennis, who lives at 632 Jackson
avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. Cap
tain Ennis has been member Of the
Kansas City Police force for thirty
years and is not only one of the old
est in point of service, but one of the
most popular officers in the depart
ment.
In a recent statement regarding the
benefits his son, Wilfred, has derived
from the use Of Tanlac, Captain En-
mis- said:
in my sons health during the past
few weeks certainly speaks we'll for
Tanlac. Wilfred served with Company
A 18th Engineers in France for near
ly two years and on returning was
suffering from rheumatism and stom-
ach trouble and was in a very badly
run down condition. He tells me he
had been suffering from aching joints
in his shoulders, arms and legs for
almost year. He bad no appetite and
his stomach was SO weak and upset
that he could not retain much of any
thing he would eat He complains of
headache most of the time. often had
dizzy spells, and was so weak he could
barely drag around.
Il had been reading so many state
ments from Kansas City people about
Tanlac that I decided there must be
something to 1t, and after inquiring
about 1t Of some parties. whom have
| known for years, at the drug store, I
bought bottle for Wilfred. Well, he
had not finished the first bottle until
his appetite was better and the pains
in his knees and shoulders were not
so bad. He has taken three bottles
up to this time and can eat and digest
anything he wants. He was very
nervous and restless before taking
Tanlac and could not sleep much, but
now he sleeps eight to nine hours
every night. He now has a good posi-
ton as yard clerk for the Kansas City
Terminal Railway and is able to walk
around and do his work with ease, as
the rheumatic pains have left him en-
drely. He has recommended Tanlac
to several Of his friends who have
used 1t with fine results. / consider
Tanlac the best medicine out for such
troubles and 1 will gladly verify this
statement for anyone who may call
to see me or write me-" Tanlac Is
