Georgia Farmer Delighted at the
Way Tanlac Has Brought Relief
to His Little Girl.

After what Taniac has done for
our daughter Annie Ruth, l can't help
but believe in the medicine, and I'm
right glad of the chance to recon-
mend it," said George w. Karr, we'll
known farmer of Villa Rica, Georgia.
Our daughter, who is just fourteen
years old, suffered from asthma, for
fully five or six years. Her throat
used to swell up and get very sore,
and in any kind of bad weather, or if
she made thefleast extra exertion, she
would have ia bad spell Her breath
ing would get difficult and she would
almost cough herself to pieces. This
coughing came on very bad at nights
and kept her awake for hours. and
many al time my wife or | have been
up half the night attending to her.
Sometimes these spells were so bad
that we, feared she would choke and
more than once I've had to jump into
the car aud go and fetch the doctor
She didn't eat enough scarcely to keep
a bird alive% She was very thin and
weak and lost a, lot of time away from
school in consequence. She was al
ways having treatment and medicine
Of some kind, but 1ley never gave her
more than temporary relief She was
Complaining OF headaches, and was
just as white as a Isheet. We were
very much worried about her condi-
ton and often USED TO wonder if we
should ever raises her
"The way we fame t. try Tanlac
was like this. My mother had taken
it with good resi- fits, and my neighbor
Arthur Henslee and his wife had both
been helped by it, 50 we decided to
get some for Annie, Well, if it hadn't
happened under my own roof and be-
fore my owl eyes, | never would
have believed it possible for such a
change to come over a girl 1t eased
UP her asthma right away, and she's
never been troubled with it since She
went all through this last winter with
out touch of it, and exposure to
weather never affected her a bit Her
appetite picked up and she is now
eating we'll. She has gained quite a
lot in weight and the color has come
back into her cheeks. We never hear
anything about her headaches now

a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
SO they sluggishly filter or strain only
part OF the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all Rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
bic, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or il
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of sca1ding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take d
tablespoon in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
