SUFFERED Since
HER CHILDHOOD
Mrs. May praises Tanlac
for ending long standing
trouble otis wonder
full.

The best evidence Of the merits OF
a medicine is what people who have
actually taken IL have TO say about
it. And this is true AMI beyond all
question when such statements are
made by people of high character and
published fight in the community
where each and every fact can be in
vestigated and verified
Mrs. Effie May, residing on r. F. D.
No. l, Box 90. Sioux Falls. South Da-
kota, in relating her experience with
Tanlac. recently, said:
Il certainly can say a good word for
Tanlac Tor II has really and truly
made me feel like a new woman
have had stomach trouble ever since
I was fourteen years OF age and as l
grew older other troubles kept coming
on me I had rheumatism in my right
arm so bad I couldn't sleep for the
pain, and would do everything trying
to get so I could get little rest Ny
back hurt me so bad at times that I
could hardly get up when sitting or
laying down. and I would often have
dizzy spells and nervous sick head
aches At the time ! began taking
Taniac I was suffering with an awful
pain in my side, so bad at times as to
almost take my breath. and was told
I would have 10 be operated on for ap
pendicitis. I was frantic with pain
and nearly worried out Of my wits be-
sides.
Then happened to read a testimo-
NAL from a Nebraska lady who had
gotten relief from the same kind Of
troubles by taking Tanlac. and going
on the same idea that what's good for
one is good for another. I got a bottle.
Well. il has helped me just like she
said It did her and now I know for
myself that II is wonderful. I don't
get nervous any more nor have any
more headaches, and the stomach
trouble and rheumatism have disap-
peared, too. So Tanlac has not only
relieved me Of my physical suffering,
but II has eased my mind as well. for
I fully believe Il has saved me from
an operation. as the ~ain is gone out
of my side entirely. I am just feeling
fine and my enthusiasm for Tanlac is
unbounded."

Details OF the rebel attack on the
town of Minatitlan, NeracruZ. on July
II, is contained in a weekly review Of
the Mexican situation issued by the
National Association for the Protec-
ton of American Rights in Mexico.
The stores Of Minatitlan were looted
and block in the central part Of the
town set on fire. but the fact that the
rebels soon abandoned the town ena-
bled the citizens to check the flames
before they could spread.
The review states that the Mexican
federal press admits that rebel activ-
tiles have increased in the states of
Tamaulipas and Jalisco. The rebels in
southeastern Mexico, it is stated. are
also increasing their activities
Launches and river steamers in this
part Of the state are being robbed by
outlaw bands, the review states
The review IS issued weekly and is
composed entirely OF news articles
and editorials translated from leading

Pleads for Friendship.
I wish particularly to express an
appreciation Of ambassador Fletcher.
who is the best equipped man for his
post We have ever had in Mexico. Mr..
Fletcher is a thorough going Ameri-
can, who at the same time has the
right respect and sympathy for the
Mexican people Our consular service
berlain down is the best we have ever
had in that country.
II is important FOR US at FL PasO
TO bear in mind that the border can
either be the point of friction or Of
understanding. The people of the two
countries lived here side by side in
friendship for a long time. We have
got 10 live as neighbors for genera
tons to come
The very future Of our great city
depends upon our being friends in
stead Of enemies Of the Mexican peo-
pie We can despise Mexicanl bandits
the same as we despise the I.fW. WIS
and at the same time show the
friendship we feel for the good people
CT Mexico. We Of all communities
must, both as a matter of right and
in our own interest. foster a mutual
respect between the good people on
the two sides of the border
VIII Reside in Ell PasO.
AS stated when I was at home IN
April. I an confident that Mexico is
going to come out all right and that
American citizens in Mexico are going
to receive the protection We all de-
sire. When that comes FL Paso is
going TO loom bigger and more pros
porous than ever before We are
going to be the gateway for a great
ly increased international trade.
1T is my ambition TO see FL Paso
the financial and trade center for the
entire border country. Ny work for
six years on trade matters with Mex
leo has convinced me that the posi-
bilities ahead Of US are greater than
any booster has ever proclaimed II
is this conviction that leads me to
suggest to our people that we sit
steady in the boat Things are going
to come out all right. and when they
do FL Paso must have the friendship
Of Mexico"
