Mark McKinnon brought her husband to town last Saturday and made him vote for me early, before he strayed off, got into some devilment and forgot about it.

It was this way, he had a new Ford car, and his wife had a new dress, and he wanted to show them both. I don’t blame him, but it did make me have cold bumps on my back when he kept driving up and down the street in his new Ford car with his wife and her new dress by his side, and wouldn’t get down, come in and help me one little (lift) vote when I was in such a tight.

DORA UPCHURCH SAYS SHE SUFFERED FROM ONE DAY’S END TO ANOTII ER. “I believe this medicine has kept me out of the grave, for to tell you the plain trutht I don’t see how I could have lived much longer,” said Mrs. Dora Upchurch, 345 Wylie Street, At lanta. Mrs. Upchurch is th e mother of eleven children, and is one of the best known and most highly respected women of Atlanta. “I had indigestion of the worst kind, she continued, “but for nearly a year I suffered more from rheumatism than anything else. I also suffered from female troubles, and all these trougles together just pulled me down until I was getting so I could hardly go at all. To tell you the truth, my life was almost a burden. “I couldn’t eat anything hardly without suffering afterwards, and al ways after eating I would have a full, uncomfortable feeling. At times I would have dizzy spells and would get so blind I could hardly stand on my feet without danger of falling. The rheumatism would hurt me so bad I couldn’t sleep at night and it just seemed like I was in some kind of pain from one day’s end to another. I felt tired and worn out and unfit for work, and couldn’t take interest in any thing on account of my condition. No kind of medicine seemed to do me any good and I lost weight and strength continually. “This is just the condition I was in, when my husband got me to try Tan lca. H e said he was sure it would help me, because it had done so much good for him. I hadn’t been taking it any time hadly until I could see all the difference in the world in my feelings. I actually gained ten pounds on the first three bottles and had to have my clothes let out because they were getting too tight for me. “The rheumatic pains have left me almost entirely and I sleep fine at night. My appetite is good too, and I can eat anything I want and as much as I want and have no more trouble with indigestion. It’s simply wonderful what this medicine has done for me, and I just don’t know what I would hav e done without it. I wish I could tell everybody in town about it.” Tanlac is sold exclusively in Doug las by the Union Pharmacy; in Willa cooehee by Quillian’s Pharmacy; in Nicholls by the Johnson Pharmacy; in Peai'son by Dr ;.
