PERHAPS They're Still Digging.

of South Carolina that back in the old
pirate days Captain Kidd and Cap
tain Morgan and the others used to
sail up the Savannah river and bury
their stolen dOubloons and pieces OF
eight In the sands of the cypress
swamps. A fortune teller once came
through and for a consideration of S25
each agreed to tell the negroes just
where the gold was buried. He col
lected several hundred dollars. and
then with a great deal of ceremony
staked out as many locations in the
sand as he had customers. He then
told them very solemnly to come TO
that spot in the light of the moon.
stand directly over the stake and dig
at the end of their shadow. Then he
sailed away on a river steamer. And
he never came back.

is employed by the Southern Pacific
Railway Co., and who lives at sol
East 10th street, Portland, Ore, while
talking to Tanlac representative the
other day.
81 suffered from stomach trouble for
three years or more" continued Mr..
Foleen, "and when l commenced tax
ing Tanlac, l was SO weak and run
down that | was not able to do any
work at all. At one time was in the
hospital for seven weeks, and after
the very best of treatment there, /
was told that nothing but an opera
ton would do me any good, and that
| would have to submit to it if | ever
expected to be well again. / refused
to undergo the operation, and was
told then that they could do nothing
more for me, so pulled up and went
home. Well, after got home began
to diet myself, thinking that might
help me, but / soon found that even
milk and mush, and a soft cooked
egg would cause gas TO form on my
stomach, and would have the worst
cramping spells you have ever heard
of. / just kept on suffering and get
ting weaker all the time until | was
just about all in.
"Then / heard about Tanlac, and
the great things it was doing for so
many other people, and bought
bottle and commenced taking it. Well,
sir, | figured that Tanlac would give
me some relief, but | had no idea that
1t was going to make such a clean
sweep of my troubles, and put me in
the fine condition / am now in. Why,
l have gained twenty-nine pounds, and
in short time l was free from pain
and distress as any man on earth.
My stomach troubles all disappeared,
and my appetite came back in full
force, and up to this day, / can hardly
get enough to eat. Everything l eat
agrees with me, too, and when night
comes on / can go to bed and sleep
like rock right through until day
light. Now that was just a year ago
when Tanlac pulled me out of all that
and l haven't lost a day
from my work since, and my health |
has been just fine ever since"
