ICE CREAM MAN
SAYS HE THOUGHT
HIS TIME HAD COME.
Could Find No Relief From His Suf
fering—Feels Like New Man
Since Taking Tanlac He Declares.
It is indeed doubtful if there is a
better known or more highly respect
ed man in Knoxville, Tennessee, than
C. M. Smith. “Cal”, as he is known
to his host of friends, has been prom
inently identified with the ice cream
manufacturing business in that city
for a number of years, occupying a
responsible position with the Mono
Ice Cream Company. In relating his
remarkable experience with Tanlac,
Mr. Smith recently said:
“About one month ago, I had a se
FULL OF COLD; HAD THE GRIP.
Many will be pleased to read how
Lewis Newman, 506 Northrand St.,
Charleston, W. Va., was restored to
health. He writes: “I was down
sick and nothin^ would do me any
tjood. I was full of cold. Had the
grip until I got two 60c bottles of
Foley’s Honey and Tar. It is the best
remedy for grip and colds I ever
used.” —Walker’s Pharmacy. (Adv.)
PROTECT THE CHILDREN.
Children are as likely to get the
grip and influenza as grown-ups.
Foley’s Honey and Tar gives quick
relief from all kinds of coughs, colds,
croup and w'hooping cough; covers
raw. inflamed surfaces with a healing
soothing coating; clears air pas
sages, checks strangling, choking,
coughing. Contains no opiates.—
Walker's Pharmacy. (Adv.)
HOW A SALESMAN SUFFERED.
R. J. Porter. Sterling, Col., writes:
“I suffered with a painful, weak
back. As a traveling salesman I had
to stoop frequently to pick up my
grips, and the pain when I straighten
ed up was awful. I was induced to
try Foley Kidney Pills. Relief was
immediate. Say, t(hey are great.”

Shortly after eating, one day, I be

my stomach swelled up so from gas
