ABLE TO WORK AFTER FIVE YEARS A. J. Wyrick Tells How Tanlac Quickly Banished His Troubles. Kokomo, Ind., May 11—“Tanlac certainly has done more for me than anything else. Since taking the medicine I'm able to attend to my stock after being unable to work for five years. I heartily recommend Tanlae.” This was the tribute paid the Master Medicine a few days ago by A. J. Wyrick, a prominent farmer, who lives on rural route No. 7. Kokomo. “I had rheumatism.” Mr. Wyrick continued, “I couldn’t turn over in bed at night without holding my head with both my hands, the rheumatic pains were so severe. "My condition is greatly improved since I have taken two bottles of Tanlac. The rheumatic pains do not bother me any more and I'm back at work again.” Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints. rheumatism, and the like and is a fine blood purifier. Tanlac is now sold exclusively in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store.— Advt. TO RESTORE COLORS IN RUGS AND CARPETS. You can restore the original colors of your carpets and rugs without taking them off the floor by the use of olsonite. It is easy to apply. Just brush over the surface of the rug and wipe off —that is all. Olsonite keeps carpets and rugs fresh, clean and bright—with colors like new, wool full of lite and strength, and nap raised but softly yielding. It penetrates into fibres, replaces natural oil and gives new life, and brings colors back to their first beauty in a truly wonderful way. Olsonite is put up in air-tight containers and can be purchased at any drug store. It costs about 25 cents per room to restore the colors of carpets and rugs, for a 50-cent package is sufficient for two large 9x12 rugs or carpets.

The Truth Is Advertising You’ve heard about the nation-wide movement against misrepresenting goods for sale. Here’s our viewpoint: we’re in business to increase our sales from year to year. To do thijs requires the confidence of the people. And to get this confidence, truth is essential. We believe that every article we sell, whether it be a collar button or a suit of clothes, is worth every cent we ask for it—sometimes more. We want you to feel the same way after you buy a thing. If you should not feel that way, the greatest favor you can do yourself and us is to bring it back and we will cheerfully make anything right which is not satisfactory to you.
