Eyes, sir, / suffered for the past
twenty years from stomach trouble,
and you al imagine how much a man

troubles that had worried him that

629 Murray Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis,
while telling of his remarkable re-
covery since taking Tanlac.

hardly breathe and my heart would
palpitate something awful. I had Sc
we're pains in my stomach and a feel
ing of depression in my chest. About
ten years ago my nerves broke down
and had been getting worse until they
were in a miserable condition. I had
awful headaches in the fore part of
my head that would nearly drive me
frantic and was so restless that when
I went to bed I would lie awake for
hours, unable to get a wink Of sleep. l

felt all in and could hardly do my
work.
''That was my condition before l be-
gan taking Tanlac, and it seems al
most too good, that after all these
years, I am at last in perfect health.
In all I took six bottles of Tanlac, and
the way it knocked my troubles wind

appetite and I can hardly satisfy it.
I digest my food. perfectly. The pains
in my stomach and the depressing
feeling in my chest have all left me,
my nerves are as steady as a clock
and I sleep like a log all night long.
Headaches don't bother We now, in
fact nothing ever troubles me and /
can do as big a days work as any
man. I have been built up in every
way and am feeling better and strong
err than I have in years."
Tanlac is sold in Bottineau by Sig

druggist in every town.

Representative Dallinger Of Massa-

ti1cate OF election, that the Mil
waukee Socialist be denied permission
to take the oath or to enjoy any of
the benefits of membership In the
house. Berger will be rejected and his
seat declared vacant. Thereby the
district which has twice within IA
months elected him by big majorities
will be denied any voice in the nation
al legislature until after March 4, 1921.
Members Of the house do not like to
talk about the case except to say that
Berger is a dangerous German who
ought to be deprived of all political
status. They consider it "unfortu-
nate that the fifth Wisconsin district
is SO stubborn or trying to seat him,
but they say that there's nothing to do
about it. ...p#..

that it would be political suicide, in
