My muscles were drawn up and if stopped over the pains were so bad I could hardly stand them. At times I had severe spells that nearly knocked me out entirely, and while managed to hold on to my job. it was all could do to keep up till night came. Nearly every night as soon as I got in bed that dull, heavy ache would start up and sometimes I hardly slept a wink. It looked like the more treatments tried the worse got anda became so weak and rundown 1 could hardly get about.
 Finally tried Tanlac and it was a lucky day fer me when l did. for it went straight after my rheumatism and I felt so much better after talk ing he first bottle that I got sec ond. Then bought another and now all traces of the rheu- matism have left me and l am on the job every minute of the day. sleep like a. log all night and my ap- petite is so fine that I am hungry all the time. have already gained ten pounds in weight and l am feel ing better and stronger than 1 have in many years.

 Mrs. Harding, who has been at his side during every speech and has busted herself unceasingly about his headquarters in Marion, has not been so fortunate as her husband in escaping the ill effects of travel and campaign excitement.

 It was said her illness was not at all alarming and that a good rest and protection from the raw autumn weather soon would restore her to normal health. She said tonight that she expected to go to the polls to- morrow with MT. Harding and cast her first vote for him for the presi- dency.

do. Mark this that l am going to say,
for it is as god as working profess
sional mans advice, and costs you
nothing: 1t Is better to lose pint
