WRITES FRIEND.

One of the latest additions to the list
of leaders of thought and action who
have come forward with their unqualified
endorsement of Tanlac is the name of
Hon. Frank " Evans, former Mayor of
Birmingham, Ala, ex-State Examiner of
Public Accounts of Alabama, and at one
time editor of one of the South's great
est newspapers, The Birmingham Age
Herald.
Writing to personal friend in Atlanta
Mr.. Evans says:
Birmingham, Ala, Feb. End
By the way, you will
hardly know me when we meet again,
because am getting so we'll and strong
again AS l told you while in Atlanta
last month, have been suffering long
time with gastritis, as the doctors call it
really a disordered stomach with con-
sequent constipation pains in the Shout
ders, headache, belching, heartburn, loss
of appetite, loss of sleep and fainting
spells. For weeks l could not sleep on
my back.
Zone week ago, upon recommendation
of friends who had tried the medicine, l
purchased one bottle of Tanlac and began
taking it. Since my second dose | have
suffered none of these troubles to which
refer and really believe l am going to get
perfectly well and strong again. Won't
that be wonderful at my age? Well, GER
tain it is that Tanlac is a wonderful medi-
cine, and you know / am not given to
putting mere experiments and am rather
orthodox as to materia medica.
81 shall continue the treatment with
perfect confidence in the final results"
Signed FRANK v. EVANS.
Tanlac is sold in Belfast by Read &

and in Brooks by Albert R. Pilley.
