One Of the latest to testify re-

Mr.. Beasley has been chief record
keeper for the Department Of Water
Works, city Of Rochester, for thirty
years and is = well known and
highly respected citizen. In referr-
ing to the remarkable recovery Of
his health by the use Of Tanlac, Mr..
Beasley said:
IT have been trying for ten
years to find relief from q case of
dyspepsia. Nothing ever helped
me to amount to anything until
got Tanlac. This is saying . great
deal, for did everything 1t seems
that . man could do to find relief.
OF course, I was hardly ever sick
enough to 60 to bed and was most
always able to keep going. but
just never felt right. At times dur

would become sour like vinegar. !

the disheartening failure of the first
search for Monterey, Portola waited
in vain as it seemed, the coming of the
relief ship from Mexico with the fooc

the whole enterprise would be dis
