TOQUIT TRADE
C. Sunderland Gains 20 Pounds
Taking Tanlae and Is Now On
Job Every Day.

's1f there was ever a day in my
life when ! felt better than / do
now 1 can't remember it; for Tan
lac restored my health and built
me up 20 pounds in weight, besides, -
was the truly remarkable statement
made by Charles Sunderland, 2750
Springwells avenue, Detroit, Mich.
Il suffered a general breakdown
in health six years ago, my kidneys
bothered me a great deal, l had
pains in my back so bad 1 could
hardly stoop over to lace up my
shoes. My stomach went wrong,
and I got to where I couldn't eat
and relish anything. The little l
did eat panied me terribly, and at
night gas pressed against my heart
so bad was often afraid TO go to
sleep for fear l would smother. I
lost 26 pounds in weight and had to
give up my trade as moulder and
take lighter work.
We'll, before l had taken half a
bottle of Tanlac l could see it was
helping me- My stomach trouble
gradually left me, and in little
while l was eating and sleeping
well and i soon felt fine in every
way. This was two years ago that
l took Tanlac, but 1t toned up my
system so thoroughly that I am
feeling in the best of health yet"
Tanlac is sold in Rock Island by
the C. E. Schlegel Drug Store, and
by leading druggists everywhere

new money" and that he was en-
joying it thoroughly.

Flexible Arch--
Like the Foot

Do you know that the arch of
your foot is flexible? 1t is COM
posed of small bones which flex
every step you take. Muscles and
ligaments hold the bones in place.
Do you realize that the ordinary
shoe has a piece of steel concealed
in the arch, making the shoe stiff
right at the point where your foot
must flex? Weak, or fallen arches
come when the muscles and iga-
ments fail to hold the arch bones
in their normal position
You can have strong, healthy
feet by wearing Cantilever Shoes.
They have a flexible arch like your
foot. There is no metal in the
shank to stiffen the shoe where it
ought to flex.
This flexibility permits your
muscles to exercise and the blood
to circulate properly. Your feet
strengthen. You enjoy walking
and you don't mind standing, for
the Cantilever Shank supports the
foot restfully.
The toes are not crowded. Your
posture is good, for the heels are
of proper height to be healthful-
and stylish The comfort of Can't
lever Shoes is doubly enjoyable
because they are good looking and
fashionable for daytime or semi
dress occasions
