It may be only coincidence. but It is

Democrats will tell you that 1t was only

portations had nothing to do with the

will tell you, as the Democratic tariff
does, that the importations Of Canadian
wheat had nothing to do with the fall
OF wheat prices below the cost of pro.

price of the home product; else why
should there be any buying abroad

Troubles We're Getting Worse Every
Day, Says Kennedy-Tanlac
Restores Health

I'm now enjoying good health for
the first time in years, and don't hest
tate to We Tanlac credit for setting
me right" said William G. Kennedy,
of Togus, Maine, a veteran of the Span
ish American War.
"I suffered terribly from indigestion
and stomach trouble and went to the
hospital several times, but only got
little temporary relief. My troubles
kept getting worse, and at one time I
thought sure was goner. l had no
appetite at all, and even the little I
did eat caused me awful acute pains.
Gas formed in such quantities that it
pressed around my heart until my
breath was nearly cut off. The small
of my back ached dreadfully and rheu-
matism in my arms and shoulders
kept me in constant pain. l was so
nervous the least little thing annoyed
me and at night I was so restless and
miserable l could scarcely sleep.
81 started taking Tanlac on the ad-
vice of a friend, and it has only taken
four bottles of the medicine to rid
me entirely of all my troubles. Yes,
sir, Tanlac has certainly done the work
for me. for | now eat fine, sleep fine,
feel fine and am enjoying the best of
health"
Tanlac is sold in Skowhegan by
Simpsons Drug Store; F. G. Williams,
Athens; G. T. Burrill, East Madison;
Kennison's Drug Store, North New
Portland, and by all leading druggists
in every town.
