,,Tanlac is such grand, good medicine

ago, when my troubles first started, for
it would have saved me world of suffer-
ing" is the grateful statement of Mrs.
+, Hartleb, residing at 2002 Harlem
Ave, Baltimore.
"My nerves were all undone," said
she, land was so badly rundown that
l could not get through with my house
work without feeling completely tired
out. My appetite was very poor and /
could not get sufficient sleep. / was
subject to weak, dizzy spells and often
felt that was going to faint.
"Tanlac was so we'll suited to my case
that it helped me from the very day /
began taking it, and what two bottles
have done for me is astonishing. now
enjoy good restful sleep and my appe-
tite is fine. feel so much better and
have so much more strength that my
housework is a pleasure.
Il have son taking Tanlac, too, and
has gained six pounds already. He was
suffering from stomach trouble and indi-
gestion and was in a general rundown
condition. Tanlac certainly has helped
him wonderfully. Tanlac has won our
lifelong gratitude and praise"
There are thousands of people who
complain Of feeling nervous and run
down. They are not sick exactly, but
feel tired-out and good for nothing most
of the time. What they need is some
ting to build them up and throw off the
symptoms of this weakened debihtated
condition.
The system besides being purified by
Tanlac, is toned up and invigorated as
the medicine aside from assisting the
blood, reinvigorates the constitution,
overcoming as it seems to quickly do,
nervousness, indigestion, non-assimila-
ton of the food, headache, backache,
kidney complaints, general debility and
many other ailments that are SO COM
mon to the thousands of half-sick, de-
pressed men and women.

LEGACY Of MILLIONS
TO BOOM UNIVERSITY
Michigan AIumnus Leaves For
tune to Promote Legal Re-
search; Club First Step.
ty Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated l'ress 10 Every Evening.
Ann Arbor, Mich, May 1.-THE
University of Michigan rs one of the
most important legal educational ccnters
in the country is the vision of the uni-
vcrsity officials, following recent an
nounccment that an unnamed alumnus
had made gift running into the millions
for construction of an imposing lawyer rs
club building and for promoting in
other ways the standing of the profess
sion at Michigan.
The gift to Michigan is the most
important in the history of the school.
1t provides for organization of a lawyers
club into which all graduate lawyers of
the University and seniors of the law
department, rs well as other lawyers in
tcrcsted in research work, will be IN
vited to enter Thousands of lawyers
in all parts of the world will receive these
invitations.
The idea back of the gift, it is declared,
is To develop here n school for the grad
uatc study of law and to provide means
! for research work both in American and
foreign law. In his letter announcing
the gift the donor expresses the opinion
that LAWYERS are needed at this time
more than at any other period in the
country's history and that the only
way in which better lawyers can be
developed is in provision of better law
schools.
lie also stated he believed lawyers to
he the one class that can hold the re-
public together.
Added interest is being shown in the
gift because the donor is making the
contribution with the provision his
name be not revealed and that the exact
amount of the donation he kept secret.
1t is known that he is Michigan
aumnus. Estimates as To the value of
the contribution range between $1,000,
600 and Sl5.000,00O.
The structure will provide living
quarters for $50 senior students, in addi-
ton to suites for lawyers doing research

work. A dining room seat to 400 per

work. A dining room seat to 400 per
sons is part of the plan.
Actual construction is to start - soon
as possible, in the hope the buildin
will be ready for occupancy in the fall
of 1924. Any profits accruing from
operation of the club will be expended
in legal research.
Only senior students in the law school
or in the graduate school will bc eligible
for residence in the building.
The lawyers club and its proposed
building is but one phase of the develop
ment. The club is to be of such design
as to make II possible to erect new law
building behind the club structure,
making an architectural unit.

Mr.. Richmond started in amaze
