MINER FORCED TO GIVE OP WORK

Couldn’t Raise Hand as High as His Head—Gains Twenty-Five Pounds. “I was in such an awful condition from my twelve years of troubles that I had to quit work entirely, but now since I have taken Tanlac I have gone back to my work and never felt better in my whole life,” was the unusual statement ipade by WiHtam A. Cruickshank of Bartonville, 111., recently. “You see, the dampness of the mine had given me the very worst kind of rheumatism,” he continued, “that had been troubling me for about twelve years. My elbows hurt me so bad that I couldn’t raise my arm as high as my head, and when I sat down to the table I could hardly lift a cup of coffee to imy mouth, and my arms and elbows piained me so bad I had to keep them bandaged in all sorts of applications to try and get some relief so I could sleep a little at night. My legs also gave me a lot of trouble and at time 1 could hardly get about, they hurt me so bad. And this wasn’t all, my stomach was all out of order and I was never able to eat anything and enjoy it for thinking about the pains and 1 belching that would bother me for hours after every meal. I didn’t have any appetite and fell off iff weight terribly, and went about all the time with a dull heavy feeling about me. “This was my condition when I gave uip mining coal for it was a case of give up or die, and I guess I would have still been in this shape if it hadn’t been for a friend who told me about Tanlac

and got me to take It. Well, sir, I hadn’t taken but a few doses before I could Just feel the trouble leaving me and my appetite coming back. And now I haven’t a trace of rheumatism in my whole body and I don’t believe any man can look at me and tell that I ever, had It In my life. I am eating anything set before me and digesting it without the least bit of trouble, and I never have that dull, heavy feeling any more. I sleep fine at night, have been back at work quite a while and am able to mine as <miucb coal as ever in my life. When I started taking Tanlac I weighed about one hundred and eighteen potunris and now I tip the scales at one hundred and fifty-three, and have never felt better before.” Tanlac is sold In Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck. —Advt.
