CIVIL WAR wet"
IS ENTHUSIASTIC
over HIS CHANGE
Overcomes Trouble Which He
Thought Was Due to His
Advanced Age.

One Of the few survivors Of that
memorable March to the Sea-" in the
closing days of the Civil. War, is
Robert Shields, who is now a popular
figure around the Soldiers Home in
Marion, Indiana. In 1861, at the age
Of sixten, Mr. Shields ran away from
his home, came to Indianapolis, and
Joined the 10th Indiana Infantry. He
entered. the war weighing only one
hundred pounds, saw active service
through the entire conflict, came out
without a scratch and weighing two
hundred pounds.
Mr.. Shields relates many tragic Incl
dents of the battle fields, for he was in
many Of the most important engage
ments, among them being the battle Of
Missionary Ridge but his war exper-
fences are hardly more interesting
than his story regarding the wonderful
benefits he has derived from the use
Of Tanlac.
II have had two different eXperien-
ces with Tanlac during the past year"
said Mr. Shields, in an interview at
the residence Of his nephew, whom
he was visiting at III East Thaddeus
street, Indianapolis recently, and both
times it has fixed me up fine. The
only time ever had a doctor in my
! life was when l had the mumps during
the Civil War and was laid up in the
hospital for a week. l have never
needed any medicine since that time
until about a year ago. when my appe-
tite went back on me, my stomach got
all out of order and I got badly run
down. NY food would sour on my
stomach causing gas and attacks of
| acute indigestion. l was badly consti-
pated and lost twelve pounds in weight
in just short time.
/ II had read in the papers about
Tanlac and some of my old comrads
of the Soldiers Home advised me to
try it, saying it was sure fine. I wasn't
expecting very much results from 1t,
for was laying all my trouble to my
advanced age, as l was then seventy
three. But ! noticed a difference be-
| fore l had finished half Of my first
bottle. commenced to eat my stom-
ach stopped bothering me and
wasn't troubled with constipation any
more. I took about three bottles of
/ Tanlac at that time and not only
gained nine pounds-which l have
held ever since-and it just made me
feel like a different person. Well, sir,
praised Tanlac around that house
| anu SOOll Iltu d NilOlS vi tuc
boys taking it.
Now about this last experience
with Tanlac. Four months ago came
up TO visit my nephew here in Indian
apolis and caught a severe cold and a
kind of malaria set in. I had chills
and fever, was awfully bilious and
just felt mean, dull and stupid all the
time and had no appetite. When I
saw the condition I was getting in I
beat It to the drug store for my Tan
lac. l call it my Tanlac because it
is about the only medicine have ever
taken. Well, it just Strengthened me
right out like it did the first time and
how l am feeling just fine. There
not trace of the malaria or cold left.
I eat good, sleep good and am feeling
just as good as I ever did in my life.
Tanlac is certainly fine and am glad
to recommend 1t to everyone, just as
I have always done since I found out
what 1t will do" Tanlac is sold in
