"A friend told my husband to get
some Dreco for me, which he did and
I began taking liberal doses, which

Pastime Theatre.

Ed. Baxter's sea Breeze Girls"
opened a weeks engagement Monday
matinee and judging from the ap-
pIause that greeted the different spe-
cialties, the show certainly made a
big hit. Ed. Baxter's as I'm a Simp, "
the principal comedy role, made good.
and Frank Hagan, 'the Rat Trap
Salesman" and Warren Candle, as
Lawyer Cheetum, both handled THAR
parts well. Baxter and LaCorda were
a real hit with their original aero
batic comedy dancing novelty and
brought down the house. There are
several other good specialties, inter
spersed with good bill. Also plenty
OF pretty girls and classy wardrobe.

TanIac Relieved His Troubles
Five Years Ago and He Still
Enjoys Perfect Health.
''RESULTS QUICK AND
LASTING" HE DECLARES
Nothing Agreed With Him and
Was So Weak He Could
Hardly Stand Up-Tells Ex-
perience.

Although it has been five years now
since Lee A. Witt. a prominent farmer
of Fisherville, Kentucky, realized the
remarkable powers of Tanlac. like
thousands of others. who have used the
medicine with the same wonderful re-
results, he still finds pleasure in telling
the people about it.
While in Taylor -Isaacs drug store in
Louisville the other day, Mr.. Witt,
during a conversation regarding Tan
lac, said:
It's everybody's privilege of course
to take the kind of medicine they
want, but you may give me -Tanlac
every time. 1t not only relieved me of
a bad case of indigestion five years
ago, but it put me in shape to where
actually gained twenty five pounds in
weight. | am still feeling fine, so l can
testify 10 both the quick and lasting
benefits that one gets from Tanlac
The Pensacola journal., 1920-04-27
some THING ABOUT It
DOES THE WORK. SAYS
WITT: GAINS % POUNDS

Before I took it I had been in the
worst kind of a fix for several years
could not eat anything but what
kept me in misery for hours and some
times | was in so much pain from in
digestion that l would bend almost
double. / often had smothering spells
when it seemed like I was going to die.
simply had to gasp for breath and
got so weak 1 would quiver all over
and could hardly stand up. Nothing
agreed with me and l lost weight and
strength continually.
This is just the fix 1 was in when
Tanlac first came to Louisville. Pret-
ty soon everybody was talking about it
and lots of people got to making
statements about how it helped them,
so I decided to see if it would help
me and bought a bottle. Well, it helped
me right from the start and when
finished my fifth bottle I felt as well
as l ever did in my-life and was as
tonished when I got on the scales and
found had picked up twenty-five
pounds in weight. I am still a well
man, have fine appetite, eat and
sleep like a child, and have had no re-
turn of my old troubles since Tanlac
put me on my feet five years ago. Such
a medicine will do to tie to for there's
something about it that does the work
and If | can help others along the way
by telling what it has done for me L
am glad to do so.''
Ianlac is sold in Pensacola by the
crystal Pharmacy.-Adv.
