CIVIL WAR ‘VET’ IS ENTHUSIASTIC

Overcomes Troubles Which He Thought Due to His Advanced Age. One of the few survivors of that memorable "March to the sea,” in the closing days of the Civil War, Is Robert Shields, who is now a popular figure around the Soldiers’ Home in Marlon, Indiana. In 1861/ at the age of sixteen, Mr. Shields ran away from his home, came to Indianapolis, and joined the 10th Indiana Infantry. He entered the war weighing only one hundred pounds; saw active service during the entire conflict, came out without a scratch and weighing two hundred pounds. Mr. Shields relates many tragic Incidents of the battle fields, for he was in many of the most important engagements, among them being the battle of Missionary Ridge, but his war experiences are hardly more Interesting than his story regarding the wonderful benefits he has derived from the use of Tanlac. “I have had two different experiences with Tanlac during the year,” said Mr. Shields, In an interview at the residence of his nephew, whom he was visiting at 1711 East Thaddeus street, Indianapolis, Ind-, recently, "and both times it has fixed me up fine. The only time I ever had a doctor in my life was when I had the mumps during the Civil War and was laid up In the hospital a week. I have never needed any medicine since that time until about a year ago, when my appetite went back on me, my stomach got all out of order and I got badly run down. My food would sour on my stomach causing gas and attacks of acute indigestion. I was badly constipated and lost twelve pounds In weight in a shorL time. "I had read in the papers about Tanlac and some of my old comrades at the Soldiers’ Home adylsed me to try it, saying It was sure fine. I wasn’t expecting very much results from It, for I was laying all my trouble to my advanced age, as I was then sev-enty-three. But I noticed a difference before I had finished that first bottle. I commenced to eat, my stomach stopped bothering me and I wasn’t troubled with constipation any more. I took about three bottles of Tanlac at that time and not only gained nine pounds—which I have held ever since—and it just made me feel like a different person. Well, sir, I praised Tanlac around the house and soon had a whole bunch of the boys taking it. "Now about this last experience with Tanlac- Four months ago I came up to visit my nephew here in Indianapolis and caught a severe cold and a kind of malerla set in. I had chills and fever, was awfully bilious and just felt mean, dull and stupid all the time and had no appetite. When I saw the condition I was getting in I sent to the drug store for my Tanlac. I call it my Tanlac because it is about the only medicine I have ever taken. Well, it just straightened me right out like it did the first time and now I am feeling just fine. There’s not a trace of the malaria or cold left. I eat good, sleep good and am feeling just as good as I ever did in my life. Tanlac is certainly fine ahd I am glad to recommend it to everyone, just as I have always done since I found out what it will do.”

Tanlac Is sold 'in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and In Remington by Frank L. Peck.—Advt.
