HAS NO MORE NEED
FOR CRUTCHES NOW
P. G. Hooks Spent $2,000 Trying to)
Restore His Wife's Health—Gains
16 (Pounds on Tanlac.
Another wonderful indorsement for
Tanlac that will be road with inter¬
est by thousands of frail, suffering
women throughout the south, was giv
en recently by Mrs. Elizabeth Hooks,
of Rome, Ga. Mrs. Hooks is the
wife of P. ,C. Hooks, a well known
Southern railway engineer. Mrss.
Hooks made the remarkable state¬
ment that she had received more
benefit from four bottles of Tanlac
than from medical treatment that
had cost her husband $2,000, which
he had (paid out in the past t |o year,
in an effort to restore her health.
“For about two years,” said Mrs.
Hooks, “I have been in very bad
health and have suffereed from Stom¬
ach trouble, extreme nervousness and
a bad form of rheumatism, F o r
more than seven months I was con¬
fined to my bed and was almost •a
nervous ant! physical wreck, My
digestion 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 nauseate me an<F lay
heavily on my stomach.
“Any sudden noise would affect
my nerves, and my husband had to
quit setting the alarm dock and the
door to my room had to be kept clos
e3 so I could not bear the ringing of
the telephone. I have had the rheu¬
matism in my left hip and shoulders
so bad I could hardly bear anything
to touch me.
“My condition became so bad, my
husband took me to Hot Springs,
Ark., where f remained for a month.
I had to use crutches all the time.
The treatment 'there helped me for a
while, and I returned home. I soon
relapsed into my old condition, and
then I was taken to a specialist in
Atlanta.
“I had fallen off from one hun¬
dred and twenty pounds until I only
weighed eighty-nine (pounds.—just a
shadow of my former self.
“The specialist prescribed a course
of treatment, but before using the
medicine I decided to give Tanlac a
trial. I diO this ecabiuse of what I
had read of Mr. Cooper’s new medi¬
cine and because my husband had
heard so many railroad men recom¬
mend it.
"‘That was the best resolution of
My life. I am now on my fourth bot¬
tle 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 better I told
my husband a few days ago I be¬
lieved I would turn off the cook, but
he insisted that I wait awhile.
“I now weigh one hundred and
five pounds, which is a gain of six¬
teen pounds, and am improving right
along every day. Before taking Tan¬
lac I was so wcakk and frail I was
greatly discouraged and could not
persuade myself to believe that I
would ever be able to enjoy another
well day. But I don’t feel that way
now. I am not nervous like I was,
and I can see and feel a great im
provement. I sleep better and my
strength is returning rapidly."
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Wat
kinsville by Billups & White; In
Bishop by J. F. Lay; in Eastville
(R. F. D., Watkinsville) by W. E.
Dooley. (adv.)
PRAY BEFORE BEING MARRIED
Here Is a Russian proverb that
Might be made good use of. It cer¬
tainly would dispel a multitude o f
sorrows, especially the last one whicl
would prevent many hasty marriages
and relieve the courts of many di¬
vorce cases, it takes matrimony out
of the pale of whims and makes a
divine consideration of it. The prov¬
erb runs this way:
If you go to war, pray; if you go
on a sea journey, pray twice; but
pray three times if you are going to
be married."
Good advice, all of it. There Is
too much that is hysterical in the
matrimonial venture, and a little
praying will tend to relieve the
mind. Ohio State Journal.

Put Your Money In Land
After the war what? High priced land. Yes, boys, its going
“yonder.” The fact that more and a greater variety of crops
can be produced in the South than any other section of the coun¬
try is gradually finding its way into the brain of mankind. When
it crystalizes into a universal conviction, as it soon will, you’ll
see something doing in iand. I am now ofering two small farms
for sale. One containing about fifty acres in Oconee County
about two miles from Watkinsville on the Athens and High
Shoals road and the other containing about sixty-six acres in
Clarke County about two miles from the city limits of Athens on
the Tallassee road. Both of these places can be made very at¬
tractive farm homes. Such places as will turn out a living for
you and yours and do it with a pleasant expression. Better see
me at once if you think there is anything in the thought that
high priced land is just around the corner. : : ; :
