MRS. CuS7EAU
Fell Off to Only IS
Pounds, She Says
Portland Woman Declares She
Firmly Believes Tanlac Saved Her
Life-Gains II Pounds-Suffered Is
Long Years

Come right. in" said Mrs. Vina
Custeau, "a Lancaster street, Port
land when the special Tanlac repre-
sentative who had heard of her re-
markable recovery called recently to
ascertain the facts. Il have been
wanting to meet you for long time
and tell you that firmly believe Tan
lac has saved my life.
II had suffered thirteen long years
and no one knows what I went
through. l had fallen off until I only
weighed eighty-five pounds. had
stomach trouble so bad that I had
reached the point where 1 was almost
afraid to touch a bite of anything to
eat My nerves were worn to fraz-
zle and l had headaches that were
almost unbearable. I had such ter
rible pains in my stomach and right
side l would have welcomed death to
be free from my misery. My friends
scarcely knew me l looked so thin
and pale, and 1 hardly had the
strength to drag myself across the
room. l was almost in despair, and
felt that life was hardly worth living.
"A lTl6Ilu iCSiiliS thaI GILL
lac was what l needed brought me
bottle. l admit / had no faith in 1t,
but / took it anyway, and you can
imagine my joy and surprise when
saw 1 was improving. I didn't miss
a dose after that and in few weeks
my recovery was complete. I felt so
we'll that l even took in boarders and
at one time had nine, and was able to
do all the Homework myself, and at
night felt well enough to go to the
movies. In fact, l have never en-
joyed such good health in all my life
as have since taking Tanlac. Why,
all the winter I haven't had even so
much as a cold. I have gained II
pounds and now weigh over hun
dred pounds for the first time in my
life. I feel that I owe Tanlac an
everlasting debt of gratitude"

Maine stands third in the list of
silver black fox breeding states in the
country, according to a Washington
Special to the Express
That black fox farms are growing
and form an important industry in
New England is known but to few
outside those directly concerned. Yet
the department of agriculture states
that the silver black fox industry in
some of the New England States is
second only to that of Michigan,
which rates the highest in the coun-
try.
These fox breeding farms are most
numerous in Massachusetts, and
Maine, although New Hampshire has
started out with three ranches, 68
foxes, and the value is there estimat-
ed at s54,500. Massachusetts, leads
with II ranches, 4S8 foxes and value
of animals and equipment amounting
to S75S.700. Maine has more ranches,
but the valuation is practically the
same as Massachusetts, the Maine
figures as given by the department
are: Number of ranches, Al, with 90
foxes and a total valuation of $780,
$50.
Reports from all the states have
not yet been received, but the depart
ment estimates that approximately
5000 silver black foxes are being bred
in captivity, from 215 fox ranches
representing a value in animals and
equipment estimated at upward of
S4,000,000.
