boche did not bother to dress our wounds
nor to feed us. For two days we had
nothing to eat and, on our arrival were
given only cup CT coffee made from
acorns. Many of our men were too seri-
ously wounded TO attempt 20 walk or
even crawl so 1 picked OUT those in the
best shape, had them tear doors and
shutterssoff of deserted houses make lit
ters of them and SO our motley process
sion started. with men barely able to
walk carrying those totally unable to
move along the rough country roads for
two days with nothing TO eat.
"when we got to Sissoinie, we were
put in cattle cars and sent as far as
Mont Cornet where, after good deal
of pleading, I was grudgingly given a
few dressings for the critically wounded
cases. From there we were sent in a
civilian@rain through Treves into hos

These poor men were absolute

a day on the same slim rations as we
got in the hospital. There were $4,000
prisoners IN the camp, including men Of
eighteen nationalities. They were used
simply as beasts for labor. They were
forced to work in the mines until they
collapsed from exhaustion and starva-

on their feet and sent right back tC the
mines to go through it all again.

COULDN'T RIDE ON
The STREET CARS
Was Almost Nervous Wreek-Says
TaRlae is Worth Its Weight
I'm Gold.

II would not take one thousand
dollars for the good Tanlac has
done for me-" said Arthur BaaTs,
employed by the Milwaukee Paper
Box company. and residing at 1907
Eighteenth street, Milwaukee, in
telling the Tanlac representative
OF his Improvement since taking
the medicine.
Yes, sir. this medicine has put
me in shape so / can do more work
than I've been able to do before in
years, and you can just tell the
people 1 think it is worth its
weight in gold" continued Mr..
Bars, as he went on with his
statement.
MY trouble started three years
ago when l had a collapse caused
by overhead. I was down in bed
three months from this spell, and
it left me in an awful fix; in fact,
l was almost a nervous wreck. l
couldn't work regularly-was up
one day and down the next. Actu-
ally, | was so nervous l couldn't
ride on the street cars, and being
IN crowd or among a little ex-
element would completely upset
me, and / would shake like a leaf
and it would take several DAYS to
get over it. I had such terrific
headaches at times my head felt
like iron bands were tied around
it. Some nights | would have to
sit up in bed and get my wife to
battle my head to get a little re-
lief, and many times I couldn't ge,
tn CIHan T7nTfl ~
morning on account of these
headaches and nervous spells.
This is just the shape l was in
when one of the men at the shop
suggested to me that I take Tan
lac, and l agreed to do it, but
had little faith in 1t or any other
medicine.
BY the time the first bottle was
gone the headaches had disappear
ed and my nerves began 10 get
steady. To make a long story short.
this Tanlac made me feel like a
different man, and now 1 haven't a
sign of nervousness or the other
troubles that had been pulling me
down for the last three years. I.
sleep fine, get up Of mornings feel
ing refreshed and rested and ready
for my days work. l eat three
hearty meals every day-sOmething
| couldn't do beforehand what l
eat agrees with me, and l am gain
ing in strength and weight every
day. This Tanlac certainly beats
I ever saw in my life"
Tanlac proved OF great benefit TO
Br. Baars because it contains Ger
tain medicinal properties which
enrich the blood and promote a |
healthy appetite for nourishing |
food. Tanlac has been. very sue |
cessfuk in overcoming nervousness |
and sleeplessness, not from a quiet |
ing effect on the nerves. for il has |
no such effect, but by strengthen !
ing the nerves and body and bring
ing the normal state of health /
through its effect on the appetite |
and nutrition, of the body.
