A picturesque man of the sea is
“Captain Charlie” (F. C.) Altroc.k
that genial and hearty mariner who
for the past twenty years has been
operating motor boats and small
steamers in Norfolk harbor. And
it was in the typical language of the
sea that “Captain Charlie.” recently
paid tribute to Tanlac, the medicine
which he declares has brought him
“to the port of good health again.
“My appetite and stomach mu

without any wind in it. Many days
I wouldn’t even take my boat out.
My liver was sluggish as an old mud

lubber the rest of my days.
“But Tanlac took me off the
rocks and brought me into port in
