was not a single man not accounted

the Second Virginia regiment, ma
tional guards, has telegraphed his
readiness to appear before the SEN

err" Major Opie said, 'by reason of
the fact that he belonged to another
outfit and should never have been in
my fighting line at any time. g.
ct do not feel called upon to de-
fend my army record against idle ru-
mors, but l will be very glad to put

Philadelphia Man Gains Is
Pounds Taking Tanlac
And Hasn't A Sign
Of Troubles Left

"Tanlac has certainly backed up its
reputation in my case and | don't
hesitate to recommend it." said Hugh
]. O'Neill, of 25li Hope ST., Philadel-
phia, Penn.
For over three years was in
badly rundown condition, suffering
from stomach trouble, nervousness
and most every other ailment that
goes along with them. After every
meal l felt like l had heavy weight
in the pit of my stomach and bloat-
ed with gas until my heart palpitated
so terribly it seemed like | would
smother. Nothing tasted right to me,
and at times even the sight of food
nauseated me. Constipation caused me
no end of trouble, and l had awful
binding headaches and dizzy spells.
NV nerves were SO shattered / would
tremble like leaf, and was SO rest
less | couldn't half sleep at night. I
felt tired and sluggish, ached all over
my body. and it was Just about all I
could Go to keep going
Although l paid out all sorts of
money I couldn't find anything to help
me until I began taking Tanla:. 1t
only took few bottles of this medi-
cine to get me right again and have
gained fifteen pounds in weight, too.
The stomach trouble and nervousness
have entirely disappeared, | eat what
ever ] want now, and never have an
ache or pain of any kind. l sleep
sound at night and feel fine in every
way. Tanlac is responsible for my
good health, and l can certainly say
for the medicine that it has come up
to every good word I ever read or
heard about it.
Tanlac is sold in Alexandria by Ed
gar Warfeld, jr., and leading drug
gists everywhere.
