' ' . r r - i t 1 1. it, iviy wiie ana i nave uum pui Tanlac to test and found it to be tne greatest meaicine we ever ran acrSss." said James E. Arnold, of 705 First avenue, Peoria, 111., re eently, in one of the most sensa tional statements yet published in Connection with the Premier Prep uratJon. ; i; Indeed, Mr. Arnold's statement is go' -remarkable as to be almost in credible and, realizing this fact, he tefers anyone" who may wish to verify the facts to his friends and eighbors. ', "My wife really has more to say or Tanlac than I have," , he con tinued, "for she was in much worse ihape. She had suffered for( ten yeara, or more, with, her nerves, which were so shattered she would get out of bed at night and sit up for hours. Her kidneys.and bladder had bothered her for a good many years and she had become a com plete nervous wreck, I have seen her with such fearful pains in tier back that she couldn't get out of bed' without help and, for a long time, she was unable to raise her hands and comb her hair on account of those awful pains. .She had tried so many medicines without results that we both got clear out of heart. Then, last winter, while the 'flu' wa4 raging she was taken with that, followed by pneumonia, and I could see no hope of her recovery. They took her to a hospital, where , she stayed for eight weeks right at death'i door. She weighed only seventy-five pounds, was just a frame of skin and bones, and hadn't the color of blood in her face. We sent for her relatives because neither she nor anyone else thought she would live long. She could neither eat nor sleep and was in agony from pain all the time. ; "One day a friend of mine told me how Tanlac had built tip his wife so wonderfully that I bought six bottles for Mrs. Arnold. She stopped everything else, began tak ing the Tanlac, and the results have been nothing less than astonishing. Just ask our friends and neighbors they all know what Tanlac has done for her and will tell you that she is now the very picture of health. She now weighs better than one hundred and thirty pounds; never has a sign of nervousness or feels a pain, and is as happy as anyone could be. "Now as to my caser I had not eaten a meal in twenty years but what would cause me trouble. I would bloat all up with sour gas and at times have the worst kind of cramping pains ,in my stomach. I had not been able to get a good night's sleep or do a full day's work inyears. JVIy strength would leave me in the middle of the day and work was a burden ti me. I had been laid up for several days at a time with sick headache. "This is just the kind of misery f was in when I saw how Tanlac whs npimnir mv wnp. no i necran taking it myself and six bottles has . made a well man of me. I feel ten years younger, eat just anything, sleep like a log at night, and weigh thirty pounds more than I did the day I began taking Tanlac. I p&n now do my work with no drag and Tanlac has meant so much to my rife and I both that we 'will "never be able to express our heartfelt gratitude. It has made life alto gether different for us." 1 Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all 5herman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End pharmacy.

"The remedy that can be most ef fectively applied right now is a strict supervision of the immigration, If we' will take the foreigner in hand as soon as he leaves Ellis Island we can counteract the influence which the radicals soon exert over him. ar.d in this manner instill into the newcomer the principles of real Americanism.
