You Can Get Back
Your Grip on
Health

Persons suffering from stomach
trouble and who are under weight
find an ever-ready friend In Tanlae.
This celebrated medicine has ended
indigestion and increased the weight
for thousands of people everywhere.
Mrs. o. d. Flaherty. 1905 Grace ST.,
Lynchburg, Va, says:
my sons health was fully restored
by Tanlac and he actually gained
twenty pounds in weight. After every
meal he suffered terribly from severe
pains, palpitation and shortness Of
breath, and had awful headaches. He
was terribly nervous, too. He is
working now every day and Is In as
good health as he ever was"
Under nourishment is the cause Of
most cases of under weight. Tanlac
enables the stomach to extract the
healthy nutriment from the food

creases the weight to normal. Mil

FIFTY YEARS AGO

- -
A young man who practlced medicine
in Pennsylvania became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because OF his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce, who finally made up
his mind to place some OF his medi-
cines before the public, and moving to
Buffalo, N. Y, put up what he called
his uFavorite Prescription" and placed
II with the druggists in every state.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
long been recognized as Q tonic for
diseases peculiar to womankind. After
suffering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy,
weak and dragged down by weak.
nesses of her sex-a woman lie quickly
restored to health by its use. Thou:
sands of women testify that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has entirely
eradicated their distressing ailments.
More recently that wonderful dis
covery of DR.. Pierce's, called An-uric
(for kidneys and backache}, has been
successfully used by many thousands
who write DR.. Pierce of the benefits
received = that their backache, rheu-
matism, and other symptoms OF uric
acid deposits in joints or muscles have
been completely conquered by its use.
Send l0c to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, NY,
for trial pkg. of any of his remedies, OF
write for free medical advice.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test thi:
great preparation send ten cents to DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for :
