"It is the best medicine I ever
took for stomach trouble, nervousness
and palpitation of the heart. I
sure can praise and recommend it,"
declared Mrs. H. E. Lawter, of 116
Williams St., Spartanburg, in a
statement she gave in endorsement
of Tanlac, "The National Tonic,"
on February 1, 1917. "I suffered
from very bad cases of indigestion,
nervousness and palpitation of the
heart," continued Mrs. Lawter. "I
could hardly sleep, and would just
roll and tumble for hours, and my
nerves were so badly disturbed that
I was kept miserable almost ail the
time. I couldn't eat scarcely anything.
What I did eat felt like
bricks in my .stomach, and I had a
kind of choking in my chest' after
meals. - . ,v
"My heart fluttered a great deal,
and this. I think, was Dartlv caused
by the great quantity of gas that
formed on my stomach.
"Finally, I decided to try Tanlac,
as it had helped so many others who
ha dtroubles somewhat like mine,
and now I am not bothered with
stomach trouble, thanks to Tanlac.
I feel a great deal better in every
way, too. My nerves are much
stronger and steadier, and I used to
get so nervous that I jumped when
anyone spoke to me. I'm certainly
not that way now, as Tanlac has relieved
those nervous troubles and I
have not been bothere a bit with
palpitation since I took the first
bottle of Tanlac.
"i ieei line iiuw^m munjr wajo
1 and I sure can praise Tanlac and I
1 give it credit for the change in my
condition. I am fifty-nine years
old and it takes a powerfully good
medicine" to help anyone as old as I
am as much as Tanlac has helped
me/'

MEAT CAUSE OF "
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers?Heat
forms uric acid.
j If you must have your meat every day,
I eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
! occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue ia coated and when the weather
to HnH rmi rTionmnfin. t.wi'nnrM. Thft
| urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
| channels often get sore and irritated,
[ obliging you to seek relief two or three
I time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
| water before breakfast for a few days
I and your kidneys will then act fine. This
! famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure,
and makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink.
