Evans said:
For years l suffered with gas.
trltls and indigestion in the worst
form. | was habitually constipated
and had pains in my shoulders and
headache continually. Ny appetite
left me almost entirely and every-
thing l would eat hurt me. Finally
l got to having awful attacks Of
acute indigestion, palpitation of the
heart and smothering spells. For a
long time would have one or more
of these spells every night and 1
would wake out of my restless sleep
gasping for breath.
IL bought bottle of Tanlac and

gan to feel relief after the first few

To. ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless Of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other ike-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns-
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives so much for your
money.

The Fool Hen.

The lad went to the henhouse to
gather eggs. He returned with only
two eggs and said q hen was on the
nest. He was told not to disturb the
hen, but wait for time and maybe
he could find another egg. In half
an hour he ran excitedly into the
house, exclaiming: "That fool hen
sat on the nest until the egg was
boiling" and he held the egg up as
proof.

Most Of you have heard of the Iron
Duke, the duke Of Wellington, who
was one of the great commanders of
England, winning glorious victories
for her. But none VI you, perhaps,

standing that he was famous war
rior, was also something Of must

MAYORS, JUDGES, BANKERS.

TORS AND MINISTER'S
ENDORSE 1T.
FEEL IT THEIR DUTY
TO TALK
They Come Forward and Unhesitat-
ingly Tell Suffering Humanity
What Celebrated Medicine
Has Done For Them.

1t is seldom, indeed, that men of
prominent, especially men holding
high public office, willingly express
their indebtedness publicly to a pro-
prietary medicine. Many prominent
men, however, including supreme court
judges, mayors of our leading cities,
prominent state and county officials,
bankers, lawyers, doctors, editors,
leading educators, government Off
Gals and even ministers of the Cos
pei have deemed it their duty to come
forward and tell the people what
Tanlac has done for them.
These well-known men of affairs
have recognized in this medicine a
new discovery and a scientific tri-
umph in the medical world. 1t is a
well-known fact that these splendid
Endorsements have been given Tanlac
time and time again and they will
continue to be given just as often as
new tests of its powers are made;
and it also explains why numbers of
the big drug firms of the country
are ordering it exclusively in carload
lots.

DR.. j. T. Edwards, of Fayetteville
