II have been benefjted even beyond

me to talk for the benefit of Others"
said Mr.. T. A. Shippers, 7th avenue
and oath street, Ybor City, Fla, who
called at the Economical Drug Store
in Tampa to relate his remarkable
experience with Tanlac, a few days
ago.
He declares that Tanlac, aside from
restoring his health. has put him in
shape TO where he has actually gain
ed thirty-four pounds in two month
time. Mr.. Snipes contemplates going
into business in Ybor City at an early
date. Following is his complete state
ment regarding Tanlac.
In October 1918 was taken down

and for few days my condition was
critical In fact, my chance of re-
covery seemed to be very slim and it
took five months of good nursing to
get me in shape to return to my home.

not eat without suffering from the gas
forming on my stomach. After meals

could not rest at night, and always
felt as bad on getting up mornings as
when | went to bed.
After being under treatment for
more than year and not getting
on my feet | was near the point of
giving up hone of ever finding anv.
thing to help me. But I can now say
that there is at least one medicine
that can be depended upon for results.
l had not been taking Tanlac but a
few days until my appetite had new
start and my indigestion and other
troubles began to lose their grin.
Why, Tanlac simply beats anything I
ever heard of Since l began taking
1t about two months ago have act
ually gained thirtN-four pounds in
weight. But [ am not surprised in
this wonderful increase in weight

In fact, have not enjoyed good
health or felt so we'll generally in

me and look astonished at the won

HONOR GRADUATES OF THE
CLASS OF 1920

Commencement exercises of the |
Ocala Higs school always arouse cor !
dial interest throughout the entire |
community. This year the interest !
was heightened by awarding a gold
medal, presented by Mr.. John L. Ed
wards, chairman of the local school
board, for the best essay written by
an honor student.
The class of 1920, composed of
twenty-six members, is the largest
ever graduated from the High school.
Under present eXacting standards of
scholarship. and where the average
is taken for the entire four years
course, the students who make such
high records are to be most heartily
congratulated. Miss Winnie Gordon
average was the highest, and to her
went the honor of being class vale
dictorian. Because of this, her essay
was not entered in the contest for the
medal with those of the other honor
students. The range of subjects
which they selected shows the variety
OF their interest, and each essay sub
mitted was so carefully and so we'll
developed that the judges had no easy
task in deciding that Miss Sara De.
Hon was the winner. Her many
friends offer their sincere cougratula
tiOns at her success in this close con.
test, in which Miss Elizabeth Hooker
was second
