Big Insurance Man Helped By Tanlac BECAUSE OF ATTACKS HE KEPT COUCH IN OFFICE. H. S. Richardson, the widely known insurance manager of 800 E. Water St., Elmira, N.

Being interested in others, Mr. Richardson recently told how he renewed his activity that had been impaired by unusual suffering. "I believe," he said, "that I suffered about as much as it is possible for anyone to suffer with stomach trouble. I had it in the worst form. I would wake up every morning after a restless night, and my stomach would feel as if something was gnawing at it and actually trying to pull it apart. "T _ f _11 AL _ ? * "i was nungry au me ume wiui a peculiar feeling, but the minute anything reached my stomach it turned into a sour lump. Then I was fit for nothing. I had to have a couch in my office and often during the day I would have to lie down when my spells of suffering came on. "When Tanlac was introduced here I had confidence in it at once because I had confidence in the company that made it. A medicine they put out years ago added ten years to my movners me. inow, i am confident Tanlac has done the same for me. I have gained eight pounds on four bottles of Tanlac and feel like living again. Stomach trouble is gone, of course, or 1 could not have built up that way so quick." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold exclusively by P. B. Speed, Abbeville; A. S. Cade, Bordeaux; J. T. Black, Calhoun Falls; J. H. Bell 6 Sons, Due West; Cooley & Speer, Lowndesville; R. M.

"OVER THE TOP" WITH EMPEY IS "A VOICE FROM THE TRENCHES" "A voice from the trenches" is the way Sergeant Empey's great story, "Over the Top", has been described by critics. As a drama with the fighting sergeant in the very role he enacted in the trenches it will be shown Friday, the 9th of! August, at the Opera House. The soldier-author with this play ? holds the mirror up to human nature g as he found it in the English private g soldier. His story will appeal to young and old alike, to all who love j pathos and humor, great deeds and _ manly men. ^ The New York Times in commenta ing on the story, "Over the Top," t said: "Prospective soldiers can learn ^ here pretty nearly just what is ^ awaiting them, in both incident and ^ sensation, while their folks at home j ^ will be heartened." * Like the book, this Vitagraph drama is filled with anecdotes that will bring the smile and laughter. ^ Empey proves that life in the trench- * es is not all gloom by any means. * He says: "War is not a pink tea, but in a ? worth while cause like ours, mud a rats, cooties .shells, wounds or death itself are far outweighed by the t deep sense of satisfaction felt by s the man who does his bit. There is one thing my experience taught me ^ that might help the boys who may ( have to go. It is this?anticipation is far worse than realization.
