Mrs Stukes Tells ol Her Experi ences In Hope Otber Sufferers May Profit. Regarding the truly wonderful results she said she had obtained from the use of Tanlae, 'The National Tonic," Mrs Carrie Stukes, 113 Huger St, Columbia, gave the following highly interesting statement: "I suffered from stomach trouble and indigestion for two or three years, and I had bad spells of some kind of trouble. They were awful! I was in such bad condition at one time that I would have to crawl, for I could not bear my weight on my feet. , "For a year or more I lived on a j diet of milk and crackers and during that time I did not eat a bite of solid food. I could not sleep at night and I was in a dread all the time, though I did not know what I was dreading. I had fourteen doctors to treat me at different times, and I was told an operation was the only thing that would do me any good. "When those awful attacks came, t :...i ,i_ - ?i i wouiu jusi uran up uuu uiup wherever I was, and was just about the same as any one who is crazy when I had one of these terrible spells. I felt lazy and sick and tired all the time, and even after a night's rest I would feel so tired I could hardly move. "For a long time I could not do a bit of work around the house and I had to have someone do it for me. My nerves were so bad I would jump and cry out if a door slamed and could not stand to have children around. "My husband read of the great relief Tanlac had given so many neonle and he bouerht it for me. I I x - w am now taking my fourth bottle. During the first two weeks that I took Tanlac I gained ten pounds in weight and I am now doing all my housework. The Tanlac has helped me wonderfully in every way and has built up and regulated my stomach so that I can now eat anything I care to and my food is digested properly. I do not suffer at all with stomach trouble now. "TheTanlac increased my strength so much that I can compare my strength now with that of any two women my size, and remember that it has not been so long ago that I was too weak to walk. I have had only one of those bad spells since I began taking Tanlac and that came just a few days days after I began taking Tanlac. I really feel like a new woman now, so great has been the relief Tanlac?*are me. My nerves now are fine and strong, and I am not troubled with nervousness. "I sure can recommend Tanlac, and I am glad to do so, and I hope that some sufferer will profit from what I have said. Tanlac is a truly wonderful medicine, I think, and it proved that by what it did for me. It just made a new woman of me. I tell every one I can what Tanlac did for me." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kingstree; Mallard Lumber Co, Greelyville; Farmers' Drug Co, Hemingway; S S Aronson, Lane; R P Hinnant, Suttons; W D Brvan, Bryan.

Columbia, Jan 7:?The' Flamingo Special" of the Seaboard Air Line was derailed at Schofield.^a flag station sixty-five miles south of J Columbia, this morning at seven o'clock, when it dashed into an open switch. Engineer Henry Petit suffered broken limbs and internal injuries and he died at a hospital here late this afternoon. The fireman, Jim Campbell, of 16 Oak street. Savannah, Ga, was badly hurt, being rendered unconscious. J E Anderson, baggagemaster on the train, was cut about the head and; rendered unconscious. Joe Jones, express messenger, was cut about the head, but not seriously hurt. The colored porter of the train, Rich Wilson, had his hand slightly cut. Only oc? passenger, a lady, name unknown, was slightly hurt. The "Flamingo Special.," No 7, southbound tourist train of the Seaboard Air Line, was running on schedule fourteen miles south of Denmark at sevenjo'clock a. m., and when nearing the siding at Schofield, a flag stop, the engineer, it is said, observed the white light at the switch, which meant safety and "straight ahead." The)train, accordingly kept ahead but, it seems that the switch light should have been red, for the switch, it is 3aid, was open, and the train dashed into the open switch derailing the engine and baggage car and piling the Pullman on the cars ahead. According to meager reports, the engine is said to have left the track on one side and the expressjand mail cars were derailed. The trucks of the dining car were said to have been broken, but the day coaches and the Pullmans remained on the track. The train was composed of engine, baggage and express car, diner, two day coaches and Pullmans, an all-steel train. Engineer Petit, theJ fireman, and others hurt in the wreck were brought back to Columbia to the hospital with all promptness and given medical attention. The engineer, besides suffering broken limb?, was so badly injured internally that he never rallied, died late this afternoon. Engineer Petit was a native of Augusta, Ga, but resided in Savannah. All others are said to be residents of Savannah, Ga. The wreck is said to have been caused by giving the white light at the switch when it should have been a red light. The track was badly torn up at the scene of the wreck, but a wrecking train was sent out to make repairs and the track was cleared early tonight and trains were running through on schedule. The train which was wrecked is the brag, all-steel vestibule of the Seaboard Air Line and runs between New York and Florida, catering largely to tourist travel. The train was said to have been crowded this morning, but the steel Pullmans stood the test and remained standing on the tracks. Schofield, the scene of the wreck, is on the South Carolina division of the SAL, the headquarters of which are at Jacksonville, Fla. Schofield is between Fairfax and Denmark. Bad Habits. Those who breakfast ateighto'clock or later, lunch at twelve and have dinner at six are almost certain to be troubled with indigestion. They do not allow time for one meal to digest before taking another. Not less than five hours should elapse between meals. If you are troubled with indigestion correct your habits and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and you may reasonably hope for a quick re covery. These tablets strengtlien the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. Obtainable everywhere. The lover who pays in sighs is repaid in hopes.
