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.” Tanlac is sold bv Slaton Drug Cos., in Jackson, and Dr. A. F. White in Flovilla. Moore & Cos., at Cork, J. E. & W. R. Kitchens, Fincherville, Ga. (adv) 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. JENKINSBURG Miss Willie Woodward and Mrs. Valverd Mills shopped in Atlanta Fri day.
