SAYS NEURITIS
ENTIRELY GONE
Dyspepsia Has Also Disap-

lit Began Taking
Tanlac

Still another instance of the remark
able results being obtained from Tanlac
was related by Mrs. Elmer Leavitt, OF
Vassalboro, Me-, while in Augusta the
other day attending to some shopping.
Here is what she has to say:
For two years before | got Tanlac |
had been going down hill with nervous
ness and indigestion, and many's the
time | would have given up entirely and
taken to my bed if | hadn't simply
forced myself to stay up. | had neuritis
in my back and shoulders, and they hurt
me so bad / couldn't lie on my back at
all, and sometimes ] couldn't even lie
down on account of the pain but would
have to sit up in a chair. Il lost my
appetite, and anything | did eat caused
nv stomach to distress me terribly. |
had to eat the very lightest kind of food,
and couldn't even eat eggs at all. Gas
would form in such quantities that it
pressed up against my heart making it
palpitate dreadfully, and at times / could
hardly breathe and would just gasp for
breath | was so nervous I couldn't stand
the least little noise, and | just liked to
be off to myself alone. was so restless
that | would lie awake most of the
night, and / finally got in such run
down condition | couldn't do any house
work
at wasn't but three days after l
started taking Tanlac that | remarked
to my son about how much better | was
sleeping, and | could tell was imprOv-
ing in every way. Well, / just kept on
taking the medicine until my appetite
is now splendid, and l can eat anything
/ want without it causing me a sign of
Indigestion or gas. My breathing is free
and easy, and the neuritis has entirely
disappeared. I've gained eight and half
pounds in weight, and my nerves are in
such fine condition that / sleep good and
sound all night. / get up in the morn
ing feeling rested and refreshed and
have no trouble in doing my homework
Nothing but a real medicine could do all
that Tanlac has done for me, and hope
others suffering like / was will try it

are asked to vote with this Resolution.
Before going further | wish to preface
my remarks with these words: Although
I know that the remarks to anv ordi
nance, resolution, Or money bill are not
binding, yet, | believe this Government to
be sincere, and | have every confidence in
the fulfllment Of their intentions, but
from my experience in this Council. | do
not believe in provisional paragraphs, it
always reminds me of the man who tries
to pat the other fellow on the back in his
efforts to keep him quiet while he glides
quickly by and accomplishes his object.
Provisional paragraphs like these, in
my experience, have been the the bane
OF all similar ordinances 10 this Council.
Just to quote one example: This island
could have enjoyed, and perhaps, would
still be enjoying the benefit Of q Food
Commission, if it had nor been for a
provisional paragraph like this, which
deprived the Food Commission of its
power Just as soon as it had been
granted.
| read in the remarks of this Resolu-
ton that in the future event of activities
in reconstructing C~hristiansted harbor
the proposed institution could, and would
be, removed; | believe that, but those of
us who have been members of this Coun,
ell have sufficient example to make US
extremely cautious.
When the hurricane destroyed Peters
Farm Hospital in 1916, the hospital was
temporarily located in this town at the
site which was promised to the people
for a Town Hall; it could and would be
removed; yet, almost within this present
Council, you and | have seen a decided
effort and definite attempt to make its
localization there permanent.

Reading and "Skimmina.1

1t Is said that Macaulay could read
faster thar most men could skim and
skim faster than they could skip. No
doubt, but then he could laugh heart
lily at a Greek comedy. The whole
thing is largely matter of habit and
training; man can accustom himself
to read steadily. On the other hand,
the habit Of skimming is one of the
most perilous to careful thinking;
once formed, it is very difficult to
shake off, and the man that has al
lowed himself to slip into the easy
primrose path of skimming, finds that
he mas missed one good thing after
