FLU: LEFT HIM AS
WEAK AS A BABY
NERVES SHATTERED AND HARD
LY ABLE TO EAT FOR WEEKS
TANLAC RESTORED HIM

According to the testimony of the
multiplied thousands who have used it
there is nothing more ~invigorating
than Tanlac to persons suffering from
the after effects of influenza, grip,
pneumonia and typhoid fever, bron-
thial troubles and catarrh, or who are
in a rundown condition from any
cause.
The evidence of this fact is being
strengthened daily by scores Of testi-
monials from well-known men and
women in all parts of the United
States and Canada, expressing deep
gratitude as a result of having found
such a great source of relief.
81 have never been much of a hand
to praise any kind Of medicine" said
Fred Priebe, a well-known Iowa man
living at 1869 East Court street, Des
Moines, but I can certainly say some
thing good for Tanlac, for it has sure
ly proved to be a friend in need to
me, following a spell of the flu, that
came near putting me out of commits
sion.
After getting up from that spell I
was as weak as a baby. My stomach
was left in an awful condition and my
nerves completely shattered. My
stomach would get as sour IS vine
gar and the gas from it caused my
heart to palpitate so hard and fast
that it frightened me. I was often so
dizzy that every thing seemed to be
spinning around like a top and my
nerves were so upset at times as to
make me almost frantic.
II had tried a number of medicines,
but was never able to find anything
to give me an appetite and start me
up hill until I took the advice of a
friend and got me a bottle Of Tanlac.
This medicine helped me right from
the start and I have been gaining
ground ever since. I am eating just
anything I want now and everything
seems to agree with me perfectly for
I am never troubled any more with
palpitation, dizziness OF any other bad
effects after eating. I had lost a great
deal in weight, but I have already got
ten it all back. My nerves : are as
steady as a clock nd I am just like a
new man. Really I never felt bet
ter in my life, and all the thanks,
praise and gratitude for my present
good health belongs to Tanlac. It GER
tainly is the Master Medicine. It has
proved it in my case"

Sigurdson. in Landa by Hutchinson

To the Editor:
1 understand there has been some
comments made in regard to an ar
ticle that appeared in The Courant
Of Aug. 9Th, headed "Bob Ingersoll."
AS this article was contributed by me
it was not however originated by
me, but I took it out of a Minnesota
newspaper some time ago. And one
day I took it with me to The Courant
office for the editor to read it over
and if he saw fit print it. Now as the
article from start to finish was far
beyond limitation of truth and reason,
I thought no one would feel hurt and
that was the reason The Courant took
it in. I would not write anything for
any paper that I thought would hurt
Christianity and I do not think The
Courant would print it either.
This article, however, shows the cal
ibre of some of the men at the head
of the Republican party in 1%ngersolps
time, although I am not in sympathy
| with the article at least, other than
from a humorous viewpoint

Those hapless and unlucky members
Of the Committee of Forty-eight must
feel a little light headed after the way
they were hurled from one extreme to
another without a days notice by the
except press" One evening the news
papers described them as wildeyed,
mountaineering anarchists and the fol-
lowing morning they were depicted
as well-meaning but misguided re-
formers who ventured among a band
of radicals and lost everything, even
down to their canes.
The offer of the Courier-N News to
publish a few stories, detailing the
amorous adventures of several lead
ing lights in the I. v. A., has had a
very marked effect already. Discre-
ton always was the better part of
valor with members of the Fargo For
um's editorial force. As long as they
continue to live in glass houses, it
isn't necessary to throw any stones at
them; just pick up a pebble, point it
in their direction and they a gener-
ally be counted upon to close up like
a clam.
