Wellington Not Pleased With Flatter.
ing Speech.

The duke Wellington, toward the
latter years of his life, disliked being
offered assistance in his walks about
London. He tried to persuade himself
that he was nat growing old.
One evening he was standing in Pic.
cadilly. The street was crowded, and
the duke hesitated on the curb for a
chance to cross. A gentleman nearly as
old as the duke swung out of the
crowd and made pretense of helping
the famous man across the street.
When the duke reached Apsley house
he touched his hat and thanked the
man. The elderly stranger immediate
ly uncovered, and with a bow began:
My lord, have passed a long and not
uneventful life, but never did | hope to
reach the day when ! might be of the
slightest assistance to the greatest
man that ever lived
The duke eyed the man coldly. He
was unstirred by the rapture that
glowed in the strangers breast. With
out a trace of emotion in his voice he
retorted quickly: Don't be a damned
fool and walked into Apsley house.

MOTHER OF Nine
PRAISES TANLAC
Was So Run Down She
Could Hardly Get Around
But Feels Splendid Now.

"Tanlac has brought joy to oul
family since it has restored my wife
to health and happiness" said Johr
Pidgeon, one of the best known and
most prosperous farmers of South
Hero, Vermont. while telling the facts
of his wifes recovery since taking the
medicine.
During the past two years my wife
had her share of suffering; why, she
had indigestion so bad That she hardly
ate enough to keep her going Right
after eating she complained of pains
and burnings IN her chest and she was
so choked up she had to gasp for
breath. She had awful pains across
The small OF her back and at night
could hardly sleep. She suffered from
constipation and had terrible head
aches and often she had such family,
dizzy spells | thought she would fall
before ] could get to her Her sleep
was so restless she would roll and toss
half the night, sometimes, and then
in the mornings she always com
planned of tired, draggy feeling. The
least exertion wore her out, she
seemed to have no strength or energy
and looked thin and pale.
One day 4 bought her bottle of
Tanlac as | had heard so much good
about il and she started taking it, and
I'll declare, she just seemed to improve
right from the first few doses She
hss taken only two bottles so far but
she has changed so much that il hardly
seems possible. II makes no differ
ence what she eats now she never
one bit afterwards and her
breathing is as free and easy as ever
The pains in her back have gone and
he is not constipated and never has
a headache or dizzy spell She has
gained eight pounds in weight, sleeps
fine at night and can do her homework
by herself. Tanlac has certainly been
a blessing to her and it gives me
pleasure to join with her in prsising
the medicine that brought back her
health"
