LEADING AUTHORITIES
NOW SHOW JUST WHAT
7ANLAC REALLY IS

lac. which IS Of value in treating what
is commonly known aS "a rundown
condition. uses the following express
sion: 1t Is highly esteemed in loss OF
appetit- during convalcsccnce from
acute diseases.
There are certain other elements in
TanIac which. because of their influence
upon the appetite, digestion, assimila-
lion and elimination, improve the nutri-
ton and vital activity of the tissues
and more important organs Of the body,
and produce that state Of general ton
iri,y which is called Health.
The United States DispenSary makes
the following comment regarding ano-
thcr ingredient: 1t may be used in all
cases Of pure debility of the digestive
organs or whore a general tonic impress
sion is required. Dyspepsia. atomic
govt. hystcria and intermittent fever
are among the many affections in which
IT has proven useful.
There are certain other ingredients
described in the Dispensary and in
other standard medical text books as
having :, beneficial action upon the or
pans OF secretion. whose power func-
,ioning results in the publication Of the
blood streams passing through them.
In thi: manner Objectionable and pois-
OnnuS ingredients or the Dlood arc re-
moved and the entire system invigor-
atrd and EitalIZed.
Tanlac was designed primarily for
the correction OF disorders Of the stom-
ach. liver and bowels. At the same
time. however. it is a powerful recon-
structiyc tonr and body builder. for IT
naturally follows that any medicine
tina. brings about proper assimilation
Of the food and q thorough elimination
Of the waste products must. therefore.
have Il far-rraching and most beneficial
effect upon tie entire system.
Although Tanlac's claims for supreme
ncy are abundantly supported by the
worlds leading authorities. it Is the
neople themselves who have really
made Tan!ar what it Is. Millions Hpon
millions have used it with gratifying
results. and have told other millions
what il mas done for them. That Is
why Tanlac has become the real sensa-
ton Of the drug trade in this country
and CANADA. and that is also why IT Is
having the largest sal" Of any medicine
Of its kind III the world today.

In this avarIcious world. He deliber-
ately picked 1t up and thrust 1t inte

1t was a distinct affront. Blood
had run in the FlatwOods for less. The
man facing him started; flushed; his
right hand dipped toward his hip.
The Pearlhunter's body became like
iron electrified: his eyes like fiecks of
steel in the fireglow. His hand had
closed upon the pistol butt while the

to which the dangerous instant had
strung him; lifted his hand; folded
his arms; turned; leant against the

other over.
The Pearlhunter had been half
crouched. He Strengthened and took
his hand away from his hip.

wide stretch Of solitude. Nobody but
he could have found so many, because
nobody knew the woods so well.
As he looked back over the years.
he found himself pondering the con-
tradictions of his mothers life, in the
light Of the story he had heard that
memorable afternoon-the refinement
in the midst Of mean surroundings,
the stern pride that had held her SO
long In exile because of a word that
had. mayhap. been long repented. The
muck and Crime of the river had
never smudged her. Through it all
she had kept as pure, as white, as a
fake Of snow-and as cold.

night or day.
The Pearlhunter had forgotten him,
the rumpled house. the dishes, every
thing. He lifted his face from his
hands, rose. and entered the cabin.
The Boss was pointing to three wild
roses-a red, pink, a white-in a
tumbler of water In the window.
The vision the Pearlhunter had seen
on the rock at the pool came again.
A vision-it had been just that. only
that; an exquisite picture flashed be-
fore his face and instantly snatched
away-a picture he would never see

again. It seemed unreal ~ he looked
back upon It in the light Of another
day. But no, there were the roses. He
bent his face down and caught the
aroma Of their breath.
"Let them be-" he said. "They will
last another day"
The Boss made NO reply. To him
they were merely faded roses. He was
sitting on the doorstep about to light
his pipe when the younger man called
him With the freshly filed pipe in
one hand, the unlighted match in the
other, he rose and stepped back into
the cabin. The PearIhunter was
standing before a small hair-covered
trunk, scarcely bigger than an ordi-
nary suitcase Of the present day. 1t
stood open, with the lid thrown back,
exactly as 1t had stood two nights be-
fore when he came up frofh the river
and found his mother dying. Its con-
tents seemed to indicate that they had
been rummaged through by some one
whose haste had been great-doubt-
less by his mother. 1t hurt him to re-
call the cause of that haste. The
bloodstained glove she had held In her
hand lay uppermost, probably tossed
there by one of the river men.
