"Tanlac has not only completely
restored my health, but I have actu
ally gained 27 pounds Tn weight,"
said Mr. Nichols in referring to the
remarkable benefits he had derived
from the medicine.
"For something over six months,
my stomach was very badly dis
ordered. I suffered terribly "from
Indigestion and Dyspepsia. At
times I would be in great distress
and I would invariably experience
an uncomfortable bloated feeling for
hours alter eatmgi I had no appe

would often make me deathly sick.

Anent the Sale of
Philippine Hand Embroidered Nightgowns
to take place Thursday at our store
Miss Coleman Says:
''Like a thunder clap out of a clear sky
came this offer of what seemed to me a big lot of Philippine Gowns. After
having searched diligently, but in vain, for embroidered numbers to sell for
. less than $3.50 to $4.00, 1 was greatly surprised at this offer. I was told that
the sale was because of financial pressure and believe it must be because other
importers tell me that many of their gowns are costing even more to produce."
