HAS NO MORE NEED
OF CRUTCHES NOW
P. G. Hooks Spent $2,000
Trying to Restore His
Wife’s Health—Gains 16
Pounds on Tanlac
Another indorsement of Tan
lac that would be read with in
terest by thousands of frail, suf
fering women throughout the
south was given recently by Mrs.
Elizabeth Hooks, of Rome. Ga.
Mrs. Hooks is the wife of P. C.
Hooks, a well known Southern
railwav engineer. Mrs. Hooks
made the remarkable statement
that she had received more ben
efit fronri four bottles of Tanlac
than from medical treatment that
had cost her husband $2,000,
which he had paid out in the
past two years in an effort to re
store her health.
“For about two years,” said
Mrs. Hooks, “I have been in verv
bad health and have sufferel
from stomach trouble, extreme
nervousness and a bad form of
rheumatism. For more than sev
en months I was confined to my
bed and was almost a nervous
and physical wreck. My diges
tion was so poor I had to diet
myself and rarely ate anything
but soft boiled eggs and milk and
things of that kind, and even
the lightest of foods would nau
seate me and lav heavily on mv
stomach.
“Any sadden noise would af
fect my nerves, and my husband
had to quit setting the alarm
clock and the door had to be kept
closed so I could not hear the
ringing of the telephone.
“My condition became so bad
my husband took me to Hot
Springs, Ark , where I remained
for a month. I had to use crutch
es all the time. The treatment
there helped me for a while, and
I returned home. I soon elapsed
into my old condition, and then
I was taken to a specialist in At
lanta.
“The specialist prescribed a
course of treatment, but before
using the medicine I decided to
give Tanlac a trial. I did this
because of what I had read of
Mr. Cooper's new medicine and
because my husband had heard
so many railroad men recom
mend it.
“That was the best resolu
tion of my life. I am now 7 on
my fourth bottle and feel better
than at any time since I became
ill. I can now eat anything I
want, and my food agrees with
me—besides, everything I eat
tastes good and I enjoy my meals.
“I have set my crutches aside
and actually feel so much bet
ter I t<Vd my husband a few dt\ys
ago I believed I would turn off
the cook, but he insisted that I
wait a while.
“I now weigh one hundred
and five pound-', which is a gain
of sixteen pounds, and am im
proving right along every day.
Before taking Tanlac I was so
weak and frail I was greatly dis
couraged and could not persuade
myself to believe that I would
ever be able 10 enjoy another
well day. But I don’t feeel that
way now. lam not nervous like
I was, and I can see and feel a
great improvement. I sleep bet
ter and my strength is improv
ing rapidly.”

MR. ANDREWS DISCUSSES
THE VALUE OF EDUCATION
Editor Jackson Progress-Argus:
Please give an old Butts county
citizen space to express a few
random thoughts. It may be a
little out of the ordinary for a
man who has but a limited educa
tion to attempt to discuss the
subject of education, but I feel
like I want to say a few words
on the subject to the young peo
ple who read your paper, and
some of them are children and
grandchildren of my old associ
ates and friends that feel very
near to me.
I have long since realized the
great need of an education, some
thing I missed on account of the
civil war and now I have passed
my three score and ten years in
life and I seldom see a day that
I do not feel the need of an educa
tion. It is certainly the greatest
thing one can possess in this life,
I mean a literary education mix
ed with training and common
sense. It is a lesson we should
teach our children to learn to be
self-supporting and temperate
in all things.
My advice to the boys and
girls is to accept every opportun
ity of improving your minds so
as to be prepared for the duties
that will come to you through
the great battle of life, and
whatever may he your chosen
profession go at it with a deter
mination to succeed. The demand
for ethcient men and women was
never so great as it is today. It
makes no difference how much
any profession is crowded there
is always room for efficient men
and women. Hence the impor
tance of an education, and when
the farming class has been prop
erly educated farm life will loom
up as it has never done before.
A proper education is the solu
tion to keep the bovs on the farm
and parents should teach their
children that farming is an hon
orable occupation.
While it is true I never made
any great success on the farm,
but I look back now to the
time I spent on the farm as the
happiest days of my life, and I
still say, boys stay on the farm.
One other thought to the young
people who may read this, and
from one who has had experi
ence on this line: Beware of ev
il associates, for you might un
thoughtedly be led into commit
ting some act that you would re
gret all your life. So I say again,
choose well vour associates.
Respectfully,
J. 0. Andrews,
Atlanta, Ga.
