GAVE UP
Illinois Woman Suffered Twenty
Years.

Praises Tanlac.

when my friends ask me what
caused my wonderful improvement, 1
just say 'Tanlac', and they seem to
understand" said Mrs. Burl Buley. re-
siding at 521 Baxter Court, Canton,
Illinois, while talking to a Tanlac rep
resentative, the other day.
For the past twenty years." con-
tinued Mrs. Buley, II have suffered
from acute indigestion, and when these
spells came on me the pain and misery
1 underwent in simply more than any
body will ever know. My stomach was
in such bad condition that the least
thing I ate would cause me to suffer
terribly afterwards. I finally got to
where even a little milk and toast
would cause me to have bad cramping
spells. and gas would form so bad that
/ could hardly get good breath. This
condition kept up until was so weak
and run down that I was not able to
attend to my housework. also suf-
fered a great deal from headaches, and
sometimes 1 would have such bad
spells of IL that 1t Just seemed that
my head was going to burst. 1 was
so nervous all the time that the least
little thing would upset me, and. 1
never knew what a good nights sleep
was. Nothing I took in the way of
medicine and treatment seemed to do
me any good at all. and 1 had just
about given up all hope of ever being
well again.
We'll. the papers were having a
great deal to say about Tanlac. and so
many people were being benefited by
using it. so I got my husband to get
a bottle Of it for me. The day that
commenced taking Tanlac certainly
marks the turning point for me, for
1 began to improve before I had fin
ished my first bottle of this wonderful
medicine. Why, in little or no time I
could eat just anything l wanted with
out suffering afterwards, and 1 just
continued to improve until my twenty
years of suffering is completely at an
end. I eat things now that 1 haven't
dared touch for years. Those awful
headaches have left me, too. and
never have a sign of acute indiges-
ton. In fact, I am perfectly well ir
everyway. and when night comes now
l sleep like a baby for eight or nine
hours. I tell everybody I meet about

/ sponsible for the good health 1 now

AN OVERSEAS ELEVEN
That Is What Drake University Ex.
poets This FAN.

Des Moines. Ia. Aug. 20.-with
prospects OF an entire football team
made up of overseas veterans. return
ing to school following their service
in France, Coach NJ. B. Banks of the
Drake university football squad, is
mapping out a system of training espe-
cially adapted to bringing the return
ed fighter back into condition for
the gridiron game.
The exl erience of football mana
gers has been as a rule that army
service has not been an experience
calculated to increase the athletic
ability OF the stars who went into the
army" says Banks.
Most of the football stars who
came back last spring and summer
were considerably slowed down, and
very few OF them rleasured up to their
pre-war ability.
II presume that this will also be
true to a certain extent of the foot
ball men, but believe that by judi
cious training, advantage can be taken
Of the general improvement in ply
siQue which most men gained thru
army life. and at the same time re-
store the snap to their muscles which
is so essential in competitive athletics
such as football and baseball
