“I’ll tell you/the truth; if I
knew this Tanlac was. not going
to be sold any more I would buy
every bottle om that counter over
there before I left here tonight,”
said W • A. Spitzer, at Patton-
Pope’s Drug Store, Birmingham,
recently. Mr-' Spitzer is a well
known painter employed by the
Tennessee Goal, Iron and Rail¬
way company, and resides at 9*0

“Before 1 began taking it J
only weighed 135 pounds. Tod&jr
I got on the .scales and tipped
them at 156— a gain of 21 pounds
—and more thijtn I ever weighed
in ray life. That’s exactly what
four bottles of Teniae did
for me. Just look at this belt!
I had to let it up four inches, and
it is still tight oni me.
“About seven years ago I com¬
menced having storjiach trouble,
and it kept getting worse Untfll I
began haviug nttacts of acute In¬
digestion. When these attacts
came on me I would just swell
up like a-mule with the colic,and
got as limp as a rag. My breath
would get abort, and my pulse
so weak, I was afraid my heart
would stop beating. The stomach
pump had bo be used e very tiqfe,
as-this was the only FipiPy iljhing that ids
kidneys woal#- r’-fyeve back roe. a»4 I
went on tee. i
don’t beHeve I was out: of paih
night or day for four loiig years,
and I actually got so weak I could
hardly stand on my fading fee^—much
less work. I was Where away
fast, and got down to i
only weighed 70 pounds* j I was
almost a walking skeleto.p, and I
tell you I was flirting vfith ttif
grave, and guess I wouljd have
been in it if it hadn’t bfeen for
Tania?. For four years I couldn't
hit a lick of work. I gueNs I was
as near dead as any man you ever
saw to be alive. But, lo »k at me
now; I am strong and as v rell now
as I ever was in my life, amt can
do as big a day’s work as any
man.
“Yes sir, if ever a mortal man
has been through the runl am
the man. f have paid, oat, I
guess, past six not less seven than years $2,5jp0 for in doc¬ the
or
tors’ bills and medici aes, and
have bought enough medicine
from drug stores in ^Bijrmingham
to own an interest in one of them,
and I was lucky not t*i> have had
an undertaker’s bill bo wind it
all up.
“I have been a painter all my
life, and have had pail iter’s colic
several times, so gues s that had
a lot to do with my condition.
Anyway, there seemed to be
nothing that would .straighten
me out- Every time 1 heard of

a new medicine I woolt 1 get it I
read of Tanlac one day, and
that’s one time I hit it right.
That’s what saved me. Why,
Tanlac just raised me rijrht out
of my grave. 1 can now eatany

I get ashamed of myself. My
landlady said the other day she
would have to raise my board. I
told her, though, she must re¬

FOR FLETCHER’S
Deputy Takes Part
In Desperate Duel
la 8 hand-to-hand battle with
five heavily-armed men, alleged
moonshiners, Tom Curtis,deputy
United States marshal, Canton,
Ga., last Thursday killed one of
assailants and wounded another
so seriously that at last reports
his death was momentarily ex¬
pected. The battle occurred in
a. mountain fastness of North
Georgia. 12 miles northwest of
Young Harris
With Curtis at the time of the
fight was John Tolbert, who had
been employed by Curtis and
Henry Penland, another deputy
United States marshal, of Ellijay,
to -guide them to the rendezvous
of Tom Henderson, and old man
and an alleged moonshiner, for
the arrest of whom the officers
carried a warrant. Tolbert was
omirmed, and was compelled to
ft&nd by whHe his lone compan¬
ion fought the alleged outlaws
unaided, Penland and Curtis hav¬
ing previously been separated by
the mountain gang through a ruse
The mau killed is known to
have been a son of Henderson,
and it is thought his wounded
companion i» his brother although
the officers are not sure as to that.
Both men were shot in the abdo
Following the shooting* Curtis
and Tolbert fled from the scene
through a hail of bullets, joined
Penland 2 miles further on the
road /whither be had previously
u decoyed, and the three went

ay morning all three left Young
Harris, the two deputy marshals
returning to Atlanta, arriving
Friday night, and Tolbert head¬
ing for his home, Dahlonega
At a late hour Friday night he
had not arrived, and the local
United States marshal's office
was greatly apprehensive as to
officers ran high following the
fight, and threats of revenge
wete made broadcast throughout
the mountain region
According to Curtis’ and Pen
land's account of the fight, borne
out as far as possible by their
chief United States Marshal
Thompson, the Henderson gang,
knowing the officers were enroute
to arrest the old man,formulated
a plot to kill them
The two officers hired a surrey
for the trip into the vicinity of
Henderson’s alleged still Thurs¬
day, morning, and employed Tol¬
bert, a Dahlonega liveryman, to
drive them as far as Blairsville.
There they were to release Tol¬
bert and hire a Blairsville livery¬
man, Jim Butt, who is familiar
with the country, to drive them
the remainder of the way. How¬
ever, Butt refused to go, as he
and other citizens of the town had
heard threats against the officers.
Tolbert agreed to continue in
charge of the team. At a point
near the subsequent fight, one of
Henderson’s sons met the party
on the mountain road,and agreed,
if one of the officers .would go
with him, to pilot him to his fa¬
ther’s house in the woods. AH
couldn’t go,because the rig would
not carry them. So Penland and
young Henderson drove off, leav¬
ing Curtis and Tolbert to await
them by the road side
About two miles further on the
road, young Henderson left Pen
land in the rig, saying he would
return in a few minutes with his
father, and all would go peace¬
fully and well

Henderson, senior, and two other
mountaineers with rifles, rushed
