BUSINESS MAN

Quaker City Manager Declares TanIac
Ended Indigestion, Gases, Weak
ness and Insomnia.

"Tanlac certainly proved its merits
in my case land I'll tell others about
it every chance I get," is the positive
statement Of Ernest E. Ellis, 7O6 44th
St., Philadelphia, well-known manager
of the commercial and Photographic
art studio at 405 Market st.
Indigestion had such a grip on me
that I used to look forward to meal
time with dread, for I knew if I ven
tured to eat hearty I'd have to go
through hours of suffering with my
stomach. Gas and sourness caused
those awful pains, and I got so little
restful sleep and grew into such
condition that my life was
simply miserable.
II can hardly say how thankful I
am for the gratifying results I obtain
ed from the Tanlac treatment. now

absolutely no i'll effects, sleep like a
top and always feel fresh as a daisy.

PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventative measures. 1t is easier
and better to prevent than to cure.
Pneumonia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have to CON
tend with, often follows a cold or attack
of the grip. The cold prepares the svs-
tenn for the reception and development
of the pneumonia germ. The Logger the
cold hangs on, the greater the danger.
Take Chamberlain Cough Remedy as
soon as the first indication of a cold an
pears so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an at
tack of pneumonia when this remedy
may be obtained for triAe.
