TRAINED NURSE
OUT With FACTS
WAS ON VERGE OF NERVOUS
PROSTATION-GAINS TEN
POUNDS, TROUBLES END

One of the most interesting of the
many recent statements regarding
Ianlac was made by Mrs. Isabella
Rowe of 1917 West Walnut St., Des
; Moines, Iowa, in an Interview, re-
Gently.
Mrs. Rowe, who is a trained nurse
Of wide experience in relieving suf-
fering and we'll known to the people
of Des Moincs, Is only one of the great
many in her profession, who after
having realized it's remarkable pow
ers, have become ardent champions
of the Master Medicine.
When asked if she was willing for
her statement to be published, Mrs.
Rowe said:
eyes, indeed for / firmly believe
Tanlac has saved me from nervous
prostation and I I'M CAD to make a
statement which may be of benefit
to the vast numbers who are in need
of such a medicine.
81 had suffered from stomach and
liver trouble. d%isordered kidneys and
, extreme nervousness for a year or
more. My food would not digest prop
erly and I not only suffered intense
pain in my stomach after eating, but
NY heat would palpitate so from the
pressure Of gas thai ] could hardly
breathe. In fact, H., whole body was
full IF pain anil t! snail of my back,
especially hurt me SO at times I felt
ike ] would gu distracted. I had lost
a great deal Of ve.t hit and wen my
friends were talking about how weak
and run down I looked.
81 had tired man" c,ner medicines
before taking Tanlas, but nothing gave
more than little passing relief. My
entire system seemed to be broken
down. I could not get but little sleep
or rest and was right on the verge of
nervous prostation. I believe I would
have had to give up entirely in a short
time if I had not gotten Tanlac. But
now I am like a different woman al
together. I can eat just anything I
want and everything seems to agree
with me perfectly as I lever have
other symptoms of n Indigestion. In
fact, all my pain as we'll as my ner-
vousness and that weak, worn out
feeling, is gone and I have laso gained
ten pounds in weight. Before taking
| Tanlac I could not hold out to walk a

block, but the other day I got out
and walked f~ifty-nine blocks, and felt
none the worst from it. l have never
known a medicine accomplishing such
wonderful results as Tanlac. I don't
believe there's another like it and it
gives me pleasure to recommend it."
Tanlac is sold in B%ottineau by Sig
uardson's Pharmacy, in Westhope by
The Westhope Drug Co., in Gardena
by Ben H. Boltz, in Willow City by
Willow City Drug & Jewelry Co., and
in Antler by Antler Drug & Jewelry

s.ative or, administrative action.
Not only will the record of every
candidate be tested by the measure
CT his devotion to labor's interest,
but it is possible that he will be
asked to square himself with what
may be called 'iaSor' PLATFORM.
Whether this shall take the form Of
making the aspirant enter into cove

whether he wil' be advised C its
