decide to take action.
Maj. Gessford said he thought it
absolutely necessary to have two de-

expect one man to be able 20 cope

Virginia Man Says He Feared
His Working Days We're

My stomach was in an awful con-
dition before 1 got. Tanlac, but it is
sound as a dollar now" said A. S.
Evans. well known hoseman, City Fire
Station No. 8. residing at 900 Church
street, Lynchburg, Va.
Dyspepsia was the curse of my
life, and l had almost given up hope
of ever getting rid of it. When 1 be-
gan taking Tanlac 1 was living on a
diet OF milk and mashed potatoes and
was getting weaker and thinner every
day. 1t certainly took all my grit to
hold on to my job. and I had begun
to fear my working days were over.
"Tanlac did for me just what
needed. l can eat anything I want
now, my strength is coming back and
l feel like my old self again. The fact
is was never in better health in my
life. We call Tanlac our family medi-
cine at the station, because 1 am the
fourth man now that has been wonder
fully helped by 1t. There is not a doubt
in my mind that it is the best med
icine in the world"
Tanlac Is sold in Pensacola by the
Crystal Pharmacy, and by leading
druggists everywhere.
