Shipley of 1203 Sanchez street, San Francisco. “It ‘has certainly paid me well,” he continued, “to stick to Tanlac, for a few bottles have done me more real good than everything else I have taken combined, and I have spent a small fortune trying to get relief, I have suffered from stomach trouble for 25 years and had despaired of ever getting well until Tanlac com. menced to put me in shape. [ used to have my worst trouble about three or four hours after eating when | would have a sickish feeling through my stomach and such fearful! pains about my liver that I could hardly |stand it. One said I had gall stones and would never recover without an operation. I then had an x-ray ex- mination and was told it was my liver that caused my trouble and, sy it went on, one saying one thing and one another. In the meantime I was put on a diet of cereals and toast, and from that to a milk diet. For six solid weeks before I began taking Tanlac, I never had a bite of any kind of food—just drank milk—and was literally starving, but the dieting did no good and I gradually got | worse. I was also troubled with con- stipation. There has been months at a time when I was unable to work ani one time I was laid up for a whole year. “So things rocked along until a friend of mine talked me into t Tanlac. When I started on this medicine I weighed only 115 pounds —had dropped off from 152—so you can imagine what a dreadful condi- tion I was in. Well, my first bottle of Tanlac never helped me y that I could tell but I couldn’t afford to | condemn a medicine so many people jsaid had helped them, so I kept on taking it and am certainly slad I did for it has really and truly made me fee] like a new man. I never felt any great improvement until after | had taken five or six bottles and then I began gradually feeling better. So I kept right on, taking five or six | more bottles, and by that time I was | weighing 136 pounds—had gained 21 pounds—and since then I have felt perfectly sound and well. 1 never have an ache or pain nor a sign 0 stomach trouble anymore. I slee like a log every night and have m energy and strength than I have years. This is certainly one happy New Year for me and is the first onc in 25 when I could say I was free from suffering. I still take a dose now and then and would buy wu) every bottle in town if I knew no more was going to be made. I have |just finished my dinner of salad, meats, vegetables, pie and coffee I can digest these things now than I could milk before I took lac. I would spend my last dollar for Tanlac rather than be without it.” Tanlac is sold in Casper by the Casper Pharmacy and in Al by the Alcova Mercantile Co.— A: RAILROADS TO RETURN SOON TO A LA CARTE neon ' Under the new plan just «iopte? by the dining car committee of the railroads the dollar meal is made extinct. Within a fev there will be few dining cars servin table d’hote luncheons or dinners and the public will have to go back 10 the old system. On a few of the leading trains the table d’hote will be retained for the evening meth but the y e will be $1.25 The dining car men say they hit to do it. The public was slowly starving to death on the dining ars they assert. Previous to the time Mr. McAdoo ordered the dollar many travelers declared the: starving to death, only perhaps as slowly, because of the prices &4 ed by the roads on the a la carte plan. It came to pass where a full meal would cost nearer $3.) that $1.00 on the principal through train The dollar meal was welcomed } many and criticized by others, bul , came to be considered that it Wak ‘ good value. The portions were sm and the variety was limited, but was admitted by the majority to b° a pretty square meal, But the dininé car superintendent said the curs wer’ losing money too rapidly, «nd, Un war being over and the necessity for closest conservation having passed i" large measure, they obtained appro’ al of their recommendation for # T | storation of the old conditions. ‘GERMAN ISSUED | FINAL PAPERS OF CITIZENSHIP KEMMERER, Wyo., March it it Churning: bream: or; quotations plione. 943 ‘or write Natrona Butter Shop, Uaspere!
