ZIMMERMAN WAS

FOR 18 MONTHS
Dudley Felt Like His Muscles Were
Tied in Knots. He Says IanlaG
Ends Trouble.

"At the time l began taking Tan.
lac I had not been able to hit lick
of work in eighteen MONTHS" said
N. H. Dudley, a well-known employee
of the Badger Lumber Company, liv-
ing at 318 Newton street, Kansas
City, Mo, recently.
81 was so afflicted with rheuma-
tism," he continued, that | had to
have help to get my clothes on and
off. My muscles seemed to contract,
or draw up, until they felt like they
were in knots and the pain was al
most unbearable. When l tried to
walk around or do little light work
the small of my back and hips ached
so bad I would simply have to lie
down, and some nights | couldn't
stay in bed, the pain was so severe.
Along with the rheumatism / also suf-
fered from stomach trouble and ner-
vousness and had no appetite. l was
in a miserable condition and, as moth
ing ever helped me l had lost near
ly all hope of getting any better.
'Finally | saw testimonial from
some one telling how they had got
ten rid of rheumatism by taking Tan
lac, so l begun taking the medicine
myself and before my first bottle was
gone I noticed a considerable inn
provement. My appetite was better,
my nerves more quiet and my rheu-
matte pains began to ease up. Well,
in few weeks the medicine had me
in shape where I could work and |
have not lost day in six months.
The rheumatism has left my back and
hips entirely and my nerves are also
in good shape. My appetite is good
all the time and sleep fine every
night. In fact am in better shape
than l have been in five years and
Tanlac is what has made the differ
ence.'

CUNN TALKS OF
WIFE'S TROUBLE
Feared He Was Going To Lose Her,
He Says Like Different Woman
Since Ell Vigor Relieved Her.

John W. Gum, senior member of
the firm of Gum & Co., 654 Third
St., Macon, Georgia, gives the fol-
lowing testimony regarding El Vigor:
'My wife was down with a serious
disorder of the kidneys and had suf
fered so long that l had begun to
think that she would never get up
from her bed. Nothing did her any
good. Her joints and limbs were
swollen, and she was in misery all
the time. AT last l was persuaded
by someone who came to our house to
/ try Ell Vigor and l got a supply.
"Inside of two days after she start
ed taking Ell Vigor, I noticed an i'm

were interested.
Mr.. Comstock yesterday told the
remarkable history of Experience
from the beginning.
"The first time l saw this play 'Ex-
perience' it was given at a Lambs
Gambol in the club house of the
Lambs, said Mr.. Comstock, remi-
niscently. "All the female charac-
ters were played by men. That
handicapped it greatly, but even then
the possibilities as a great moral
drama were quite evident. My part
ner, Morris Gest, was most enthusiac-
tic over the play, and we bought it.
"The scenery and costumes stood
US in nearly $4,000 before the first
curtain went up, and during a pre-
lininary tour of several cities while
we were getting the play in shape,
we lost about $4,000 more. It was
a very costly proceeding, getting the
play into shape.
Many times during the early days
of Experience I was tempted to
throw my interest in it into the dis
card. The newspaper critics approx
ed and wrote enthusiastic notices, but
still the crowds did not materialize.
