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."

Usurp Civic Duties
Causes Unrest, Wood
s
Denver, Colo., Dec. 18. The
marked indifference of the average
American toward performance of his
civic duties and the willingness of
the' red alien and agitator to usurp
the functioning of the local govern
ment in many sections of the nation
are important factors in the wave of
unrest which is sweeping the nation,
Maj:-Gen. Leonard A. Wood told
the members of the Colorado legisla
ture when he addressed a joint ses
sion of that body here today.
.-"We have been attributing much
of our unrest to the ranks of labor,"
said General Wood, "but during my

the American workingmen are
straight, but that in many instances
they are under the domination of the
agitators, who are responsible for
most of the, unrest.
"The remedy that can be most ef
fectively applied right now is a strict

can counteract the influence which
the radicals soon exert over him.
