More over, the positions held, by the Torka below Kut-el-Ateara. intrenched and nt rung ly for titled, were very formida ble. Th? original expedition was com posed in. part of Indian troops,' but the relief force for th? m est part WSS made up of men from'Knginud and the cola uies.

HUNVER'S CASE Wife of Well Known Columbia Printer Says Tanlae Did Her "? World of Good." In almost every Instance whero one person is found who has taken, or. la | taking Tanlae, the master medicine, thero arc from two to a half a dozen ethers of. different famille? tin the cime neighborhood, who, took, rf.-p giving this great preparation a chance to rebuild their sti-ength and I relievo their uilments. The reason is obvious, generally speaking, for the medicine did so mucii good in the firBt case that ills-, or her, friends were convinced of the medicine's merits. Ruch is the case In the vicinity of the Southern Railway shops at Co liumbia, on Taylor and Blondine streets, and Thompson avenue, in particular. Among those in that section of the rlty who have given their highest prui.su> to Tanlae are Mrs. G. W. Neely, of 172S Thomp son avenue; Mrs. Fann'- Heroic of IBI? Taylor street; Mi*. W. B.

W. W. Hunter, of 1814 Taylor j.-treet, wife of an em ployee of the Bryan Printing Co., pfi Columbia. Her endorsement fol lows: "I suffered very annoying painB caused by indigestion. Also my kid neys wehe disordered, and this ail ment caused nip considerable discom fort, j Indigestion and kidney, trou ble hhd continued about seven years before I learned of Tanlae. The wa> gaa formed in my stomach was awful l was. a great eater and after eating a hearty meal I would suffer much with gas pains around my stomach. I had the usual symptoms of kidney and 'stomach trouble. "Having read numerous tostlmon lain .endorsing Tanla?, I decided to give It ? trial. I have taken three bottles and my relief has been great Which, of course, if highly gratifying to me. My kidneys are in much bet ter condition, and my stomach, too has been greatly strengthened and tho indigestion noticeably relieved I have more energy now and foel bet ter generally. "I now recommend Tanlae to my friends because it has done mo world of good."
