STEEL WORKER WON HIS FIGHT
Improvement Was So Remarkable that Doxens of Hla Friends Are Now Taking Tanlac. ThomaA McCoy, a structural steel worker, employed at South Bend, Ind., while visiting his family at 432 East Market street, Indianapolis, on Labor day, made the following remarkable statement regarding his experience with the “Master Medicine,” Tanlac: “My stomach had troubled me for so long, and I had spent so much money for treatment and medicines without results that I never expected to get well. So Tanlac has surprised me, for I am practically a well man already and am feeling better than J have in years. “Ten years ago, when I first began to have slight attacks of Inolgestlon, I paid no attention to it, but, oh, how I wished a thousand times I had, for since that time I have Just suffered agony. I finally got to where I couldn’t eat a imeal without vomiting and I would bloat up with gas until I was in so much pain and misery I could hardly stand it. If I ventured to eat anything the least bit heavy I would almost double up with pains in the pit of my stomach and there was a spot in my right side that hurt me so I couldn’t bear to touch it.
“A lady persuaded me to try Tanlac, saying the medicine had relieved her of a case of stomach trouble after she had suffered for years, so I concluded to see what it would do for me. But, before I began on Tanlac I had an X-ray examination of my stomach and was told. I would have to undergo an operation If I expected to get well. I was afraid of an operation and, not only that, I have been in the hospital five times during the ■past 10 years and was tired of it. So I got me some Tanlac and if that failed me an operation would no doubt have been my next resort. But Tanlac hasn’t failed me. On the other hand it is gradually making a new tin an of me. I am eating Just anything I want now and It has been weeks since I had a vomiting spell or felt a sign of Indigestion after eating. That hurting has left my side entirely and eat; why, I have an appetite like a wolf and have gained several pounds In weight. I have gained in strength until I can work right along with the best on the job. That breaking out has all disappeared, my nerves are steady as a rock, and I sleep every night like a log. My cough Is gone, too, and I have Improved so much that I stopped worrying over the thoughts of an operation. I can hardly find words to express my thankfulness for the way Tanlac has brought me out and I know a dozen or more fellows In South Bend who have commenced taking Tanlac since I began showing such a wonderful improvement.” Tanlac is sold In Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and In Remington by Frank L. Peck.—Advt.

- Automobiles - November 21, 1919. Dear Sir —Quality in an automobile cannot be seen. It must ba experienced through satisfaction in use. In buying a car, therefore, your first question should be. "What will It do?” One evidence of quality, which simply means batter workmanship, finer materials and more advanced design, Is performance. The inherent quality of the Essex Is such that It has proved its ability to outperform cars costing nearly twice as, much. Because of the exclusive principles used In Its construction for minimizing destructive vibration, the Essex motor develops more power in comparison to its size and weight than any other automobile motor ever built. Although only 29\4 inches in length, over-all, this motor develops paore than 66 horsepower. The result is the smooth flexibility and lightening—like pick-up that has amazed the automobile world. The iproof of the Essex lias in an. actual test. Only by ridin* in it' yourself can you appreciate its wonderful ability. Therefore, won’t you let us show you what the Essex can do? We will gladly place it at your disposal at any hour you name. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK. ? 1 -—, —
