The recent arrival in the United

ring idol and heavyweight champion
Of Europe, Is the biggest happening
in the boxing game since the annihi-

Dempsey last July.
The presence of the Freedman in
this country means much to Amer
lean ring fans.
But at the same time, it means
little-at present.
The minute that Jack Dempsey
walked out of the wooden bowl at
Toledo with Willard's crown on his

Dempsey. because the Frenchman

to quit work Altogether. was terri
bly, discouraged over my condition
and felt that I would be an invalid
for the rest of my days.
II had indigestion in it's very worst
form. In fact, I was a confirmed
dyspeptic; nothing agreed with me
and I suffered from all the terrible
symptoms Of indigestion. My heart
palpitated 30 badly thought 1 had
heart trouble and I would get so
weak and faint at times would
stagger and several times / fell fiat

myself.
IT was absolutely afraid to eat, for
it meant nothing but suffering after

and burnings in my stomach and
chest. Sleep! Why. / didn't know
what It was to get a nights sleep!
! would lie in bed a while and then
get so restless I would have to get
up and walk the floor. I was almost
a nervous wreck and couldn't even

fered any more than I did.
Last September I realized I could
hold out no longer, and as had read
a great deal about Tanlao, made up
my mind to give 1t trial. Well, sir,
it was the greatest and happiest sur
prise Of my life for began to feel
better right away. My appetite i'm
proved, began to sleep better and
my strength gradually returned. So
I kept right on taking the medicine
and in only q few weeks time my
troubles had ell left me and I found
had gained Is pounds in weight.
From that day to this have posi-
lively been in the best of health
ever enjoyed in all my life. I never
have an ache or pain. I eat anything
/ want and don't suffer any bad
after effects at all; in fact feel just
like a new man and have plenty OF
strength and energy. Ny nerves are
steady and strong. I never have a
dizzy spell and my sleep is restful
