Engineer’s Wife Says
Health Was Completely
Broken Down—
“I have just finished my third
bottle of Tanlac and have gained
thirty-five pounds,” was the tru¬
ly remarkable statement made
by Mrs- Wilhelmina Joiner, wife
of Richard Joiner, the wellknown
engineer on the M. D, & S. rail¬
road, residing at 115 Third street,
Macon, Ga.
“Before I began taking the
medicine my health was so brok¬
en and I was in such a badly, run¬
down condition, I couldn't give
sufficient nourishment to my
young baby—in fact, I was com¬
pletely broken down in every
wap.
“I suffe-ed from nervous indi¬
gestion and have been in a gen¬
eral run-down condition In fact,
for nearly two years I have suf¬
fered from nervous prostration
brought on by this trouble.
“I tried doctors, I tried medi¬
cines, I tried nearly everything
you could think of trying to get
relief, but it just seemed like the
harder I tried to get well, the
worse I would get. Finally my
condition got so I coludn’t eat
any solid food of any kind with¬
out suffering torture. It just
looked like I was on the verge of
a physical decline, and sometimes
I almost despared of ever getting
well and strong again.
“Thac’s just the condition Lwas
in when I began taking Tanlac,
and it wasn't anj- tfm* hardly
I . taking it before ,
after began . I
began to improve. My nerves
got better at once and I got so
I could enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Then my appetite returned, and
it just looked like I couldn’t get
enough to eat. I could just eat
anything put on the table, and
everything seemed to taste good
and nourish me. And the baby,
why, you just ought to see it. It
is just thriving and is getting
plenty of nourishment. My com¬
plexion has cleard up, too, and I
have a good color now for the
first time in years Before I be¬
gan taking this Tanlac I was as
yellow as a lemon.
‘ My husband thinks there is
no medicine on earth like Tanlac,
and my friends are alt talking
about how I have improved. I
am only too glad to tell you what
it has done for me, as it has been
nothing short of a blessing in my
case ” "

The Big Explosion I
- On Black Tom Island
Frank Ellington, a former El*
lijay boy, who is now with the
Signal Corps of the U. S, Army
stationed at Bedlees Island in
New York harbor, has written
the-falfowing account to his fath¬
er of the big explosion of twenty
five million dollars worth of war
munitions which were stored on
Black Tom Island and which
caught fire and blew up Sunday.,
July 30th:
Fott Wood,NYH.,July 31st,1916
Dear Pa:
^ You have probable read
something of the explosion here
by this time hut am satisfied you
didn't get the details of our part
in ,t. Will proceed to relate what
I saw of the occurrence
To begin with, we are situated
on about 5 acres of ground some¬
thing like looo yards from the
scenes of action and the island
stands up a little higher than
BDck Tom, where the munitions
we;e stored. Well about two
o’clock I was awakened by a
thundering explosion and opened
my eyes just in time to get a
glimpse of the blinding glare of
light which followed the first re¬
port and to see the falling glass
and plaster which littered the
floor of our barracks. My first
impression was that we were in
the midst of an earthquake as the
betiding was severely shaken and
the rumbling noise followed the
exolosion for some few seconds.
-iA»aTone shouted tjiat’the; prop
jerty office was on fire as the con
cussion had started the fire bells
going. Most of qs got dressed or
partially so, and tiegan to take
the fire fighting apparatus to the
fire which we found wasn’t. About
the time we had raised our lad¬
ders and found that the alarm
was false somebody said get from
under the ladders that another
explosion was coming, so every
one made a hurried get away.
For the first few minutes I was
so dazed from the shock that I
hadn’t paid any attention to any
thing only to mechanically do
what I was told to. Then I no
ticed that every one on the island
was up and running around from
place to place, some in night
clothes There are about 35
w’omen and children here besides
the soldiers so we bad quite an
aggregation on the parade ground
Well, the flames were going up in
cloud? and flashes and making it
quite hot over here and we were
expecting a second explosion each
second. It was decided that the
parade ground would be the saf¬
est place (o wait for it in spite of
the falling bits of iron bolts and
shrappnel as the buildings had
already proved their danger by
cutting some of the soldiers quite
severely in the face and arms
from flying glass, and then we
fully expected the next shock to
bring the whole thing down, so
the biggest part of the crowd
were gathered in the center of th<
parade ground and there wailed
for it Some of the women wer
a bit hysterical but I can’t blami
them as that powder warehoust
certainly did look close in the
brilliant light, f must say that
l felt mighty funny while I was
waiting for the dig one to come
and to make it worse for myself
I had taken a 4-months-old baby
from one of the women to hold
and I knew that concussion was
more dangerous to an infant than
