TELLS TROUBLE
Mrs. Langley Suffered Agonies
From Indigestion.
'Tanlac Is Certainly Wonder
full" She Says.

'I have gained several pounds in
weight by taking Tanlac and am now
feeling stronger and better than /
have in years" said Mrs. George Lang
ley, in relating her experience with
the medicine recently. Mrs. Langley
is cashier at the Electric park in
Kansas City Mo-, and resides at 4616
Tracy avenue.
For two years." she continued, my
stomach had been all out of order and
1 simply suffered agony at times with
nervous indigestion. My appetite was
very poor and after eating I would
suffer so from palpitation and short
ness of breath on account of the gas
on my stomach that 1 could hardly
breathe. Sometimes I would almost
smother and would become alarmed,
fearing I had heart trouble. 1 also
had raging headaches and would get
so dizzy that I would almost fall when
I tried to walk. 1 had gotten SO run
down and weak that I was unable to
do my house work at times and it
looked like I would not be able TO
continue my work as cashier at the
park.
AZ have tried numbers of different
kinds of medicines. but nothing helped
me until 1 got Tanlac and now 1 am
feeling like an entirely different per-
son. BY the time I had finished my
first bottle of this medicine the gas
MAD stopped FORMING On my otOihaSA
and my appetite was fine. So l con-
tinued taking Tanlac and improving
until now 1 am eating just anything
I want and am never troubled any
more with pains. shortness of breath
or an uncomfortable feeling after my
meals. 1 can now sleep the night
through, but before taking Tanlac l
was very restless and would often lie
awake for hours. I have also been
relieved of the headaches, dizziness
and have been built up and strength
ened until I can do all my house
work and look after my duties as
cashier at the park with ease. I am
now recommending Tanlac to my
friends and II I could speak with
everybody personally who is in need
of a medicine would advise them to
try it. for it certainly is wonderful"

Piazzek purchases of grain tabulated
as follows:
Seven wagonloads bought at less

and $1.50l 1000 wagonloads at be-
tween $3.50 and $1.75; 430,4S5 wagon
loads at between SITS and $500.
Since the primary receipts from
Kansas alone were 80, $50, 900 bushels,
it would not seem that any consider
able portion of this wheat was bought
on a low basis" says Mr.. Piazzek's
statement. My survey did not ask
for the total of wheat bought at more

very much greater than any of the fig

Mr. Piazzek adds that a survey of
