ment OF Joseph A. Opal. Of 923
Shallcross ave, Wilmington, Del.
Il had suffered for four or
ffve years from the effects of an
operation that left me in an aw-
sul rundown condition. My ap-
petite went back on me and my
stomach was so weak at times
that even the sight of food made
me. sick. My nerves were SO up
set that / could hardly sleep
and many a night 1 had to get
out Of bed and walk the floor
Il often had binding headaches
and dizzy spells that just about
put me out of commission. My
legs and knees were SO stiff and
painful that walking was difficult
and my arms and shoulders were
in such a fix that II was torture
to move them When / stopped
over a pain would strike me in
the back like a knife. and often
got SO short of breath that the
least effort would almost com
pIetely exhaust me.
"It was astonishing how rap
idly I got back on my feet after
/ began taking Tanlac. The first
thing il did was to give me an
appetite and fix up my stomach
so could eat Then my troubles
disappeared as il by magic and
L commenced to take on weight
and strength so fast that 1t sur
prised me. My aches and pains
III disappeared. my nerves stead
led down. and j soon found my
self back to splendid health. I
am going to take more Tanlac

equal in the world for building
up a rundown system"

McMasters Says n. Z. Iowa Grea

McMasters Says n. f. Iowa Great
S. l.. McMasters, of DEBORAH, was
in the city Friday and Saturday, a
guest in the home of his son, n. H.
While here Mr.. McMasters called at
the Union office and showed US a
sample of the coal now being mined
in Winneshiek county near the town
of Freeport. The coal appears to
be combination of hard and soft
coal and looks as though it ought to
be great stuff. Coal mining in the
county to our north is still in an
embryo stage and as soon as it is
enlarged and carried on a larger
basis West Union may be able to
buy coal f. o. b. DEBORAH instead of
Illinois.
Mr.. McMaSters also has great hopes
for the finding of oil, drilling being
carried on at the present time near
DEBORAH. Two Texas companies are
in that county now, one company
drilling and the other endeavoring
to put under lease a tract of 10000
acres before they start drilling, hav-
ing 1000 acres leased at the present
time.
Winneshiek county with its coal
and oil deposits suddenly brought to
the light will without a doubt make
the town and county boom for the
next generation. We invite you to
Fayette county to try your luck-we
might have coal and oil under some
of our lands.-West Union Union.
