Still another comes forward
and adds her voice to the hun
dreds who have already indorsed
the wonderful medicine, Tanlac.
Mrs. Mamie Hall, who lives
at 805 Fourth Avenue, South
Nashville, says she suffered for
years and the trouble was finally
pronounced cancer of the
stomach. She also states that
she had fallen off as a result
of the trouble until she weighed
only 96 pounds, but that she
now weighs 115, a gain of 19
pounds.
‘ ‘I had a bad form 'of stomach
trouble." said Mrs. Hall in re
lating her remarkable case to a
Tanlac representative, “and had
suffered from it for years. 1 lost
so much flesh and was so weak
that I was confined to my room
and bed for eleven months and
my head ached so bad I could
hardly stand it at times.
“Yes," she continued, "they
actually had to prop me up in
bed to take a drink of water
as I just couldn’t help myself
at all. I lived on malted milk
and crackers. The steady pains
in my chest made me afraid I
had lung trouble and my head
ached so bad it seemed like it
would burst.

COUNTY STOCKADE
We are publishing scenes and
views of the county roads, the
county farm and other cuts that
will give some small idea of
just what the county work is
in old Decatur county. The road
work under the supervision of
Captain George S. Tucker has
been so well appreciated by the
public that no complimentary
references are needed. It is
conceded all over the section
that Decatur is the mother of
good roads, having more miles
and better worked than any
that go there and see what is'requirements of the county and
being done go away with a more
complete grasp on the affairs of
the county. Foodstuffs are the
main things raised on the farm
and they are for man and beast.
Syrup, meat, meal, com and
hay being about all that is given
attention.
A complete sec of books is
kept at the farm and things run
just as accurately as any store
or business house in the country.
Aside from the great farm work
and the keeping up of the

but he would get it if I wanted
it. So he got a bottle and kept
it a secret from the doctor.
“That was the best thing I
ever did in my life, for I began
to feel better and gain weight
with the very first dose. 1 had
gone down so I didn’t weigh but
96 pounds, but now after taking
four bottles, weigh 115—five
pounds more than I ever weigh
ed in my life.
I now feel strong and well
and can do all my housework. I

been taking Tanlac only a week ^
when I actually ate a tomato and
.that is something that never
would agree with me before,
have no more of those terrible
pains and I am doing fine in
every way.
“I got a letter yesterday from
my husband at Chattanooga, and
he said he had taken two bottles
of Tanlac and was doing fine. I
am going to Chattanooga Sun-
day, and I will sure take a bottle
of Tanlac in my grip. This medi
cine just about saved my life
and kept me from having an
operation.
“Yes." she continued, you can
print it I want everybody to
know about it, I don’t think
a growing section, to take care
of the people and twenty years
of progress.
The county is making wonder
ful strides along these par
gressive lines and all the work
that is being done now in all
sections is work of a permanent
nature, work that will not have
to be done every year. The
convicts are kept in good shape
and given the very best medical
and sanitary attention, an es
cape is a rarity? There has been
very few deaths among them in
this county owing to this atten
tion and care. Shower baths
and everything that tends to
wards cleanliness is installed,
and laundry is done in the same
shape. No disease can spread

whose experience as a bridge
builder in this case will save the
county thousands of dollars.
There will be on this river two
passages for pedestrians, two for
wagons and two for automobiles
and it will be made to meet the
system is perfect, one ot the very
best that can be gotten. A dairy,
a blacksmith shop, the latter
heretofore done at local shops.
A regular monthly statement of
the cost of maintaining the men
and mules is issued by the
Warden. Last year it cost about
6 dollars per man and twelve
dollars per mule. The accuracy
of the book system is beyond
question and at any time the
commissioners know just where
they stand, how much each
mile of road cost, how much
each man cost, both sick and
well. There is no guess work
about it. A recent legislative
committee investigated the camp
as its their annual custom and
they pronounced it the very best
system they had seen and the
roads superior to those of any
section of the state. The crops
are diversified, no cotton raised
as every things goes to the
keeping up of the men and
mules on the roads.
They have planted this year
at the farm 130 acres of oats,
10 of cane, 10 of potatoes, 10 of
garden, 100 acres of corn and
peas, 10 ot sorghum, 5 of water
melons. They have 150 hogs,

Surely this is a most convincing
case of si’fferring and distress
being alleviated by the use of a
stomach corrective and tonic
which relieves the condition that
that gives rise to so many differ
