There really seems to be no limi
to the number of cases wherein Tar
lac, "the master medicine," ha
given relief that can be consider?
truly wonderful. And the case c
Miss Madge Cleveland, of 1S5 Mai
street, Equinox, Anderson, S C
considering the results Tanlac gav
her, takes rank with the most re
markable. Her mother, Mrs L ]
Cleveland, vividly described he
daughter's long train of troible
and her many ailments, and ex
pressed deep appreciation for th
wonderful effect of Tanlac in build
ing up her health and strength. Mr
Cleveland's endorsement of Tanla
and her statement regarding th
case of her daughter follows:
"My daughter, Miss Madge Cleve
land, suffered from a number of ail
ments, and her system was badl
run down and weakened. She ha
no appetite at all, and would ea
scarcely more than one biscuit fo
breakfast. She had twice been op
erated on for tumor and appendi
citis. The first operation was no
successful, and the second was nec
essary. As a result, her health wa
undermined and her condition l>e
came very bad.
"She was so weak she could hard
ly walk, and she was so restless a
night that she really was very littl
refreshed when morning came. Sh
would wake us at night many time
with her groaning. She lost a grea
deal of weight, too. It was her sid
where the cuts were made when sh
was opepated on that caused her &
much pain. And, too, her systen
was generally out of order.
"She has already taken three hot
ties of Tanlac, and if I had not seei
the improvement Tanlac made ii
her condition, I don't know whethe
I would fully believe it could be &
great, should someone have told m
that. She has gained 12 pound
^and now weighs 122 pounds?mor
than she has ever weigned before
She has a very good appetite and i
is steadily improving. Really
have told her if she continues to in
crease the amount of food she eats
will have to make her stop takini
Tonlafl A r>ft wViat cVia Afl+g is nnnr

"Her health has improved ii
every way and she is very mucl
stronger. She goes to sleep nov
just as soon as she gets in bed, anc
she sleeps soundly all night. He
nerves are quiet and strong now, al
though they troubled her a lot be
fore she began to take Tanlac. Sb
used to have bad spells of headache
too, but Tanlac broke them up an<
she has not had an attack since sb
began taking it.
"Just before she began takini
Tanlac, she decided to go on a visi
to Pell City, Ala, but was told sb
could not stand the trip. But sb
left for that city just two days agi
in fine health, so great was the ben
efit three bottles of Tanlac gave her
"Tanlac is just a wonderful med
icine, and we can't say too much ii
praise of it, and I certainly am gla<
to recommend it. The Tanlac di<
her more good than any of the man:

it As a result of the demands for more
wages which the train service employes
S of the railroads have been pressing upon
i- the transportation lines, the country Is
face to face with the possibility of the
- greatest strike and the most serious
,t industrial catastrophe in its history,
e The engineers, conductors, firemen and
e brakemen on practically all the rall9
road lines have voted to place their
t entire Interests in charge of a few
e leaders within heir organizations, and
e to give these leaders authority to call
o a strike if they wish to do so.
a What such a strike would mean to
the American people cannot be set I
r- forth In mere facts and figures. It can
1 be dimly Imagined by those who real
1 Ize what an Intimate and vital pain
r transportation plays In every Industrial
0 activity of the country.
6 Cities Would Face Starvation.
8 There Is scarcely a person In any
e part of the land who would not be lm
mediately affected If the millions of
t busily turning wheels on our nearly
1 three hundred thousand miles of rail
way were to stop for a single day. If
I the tie-up continued for a week, the
5 blow to the industry or tne country
- would be greater than that caused by
any panic of recent history. To the
1 big cities of the country, and particu1
larly to the cities of the eastern seav
board. It would mean a cutting ofT of
i food supplies that would place the Inhabitants
virtually In a state of siege.
r In the case of many food products '
these cities do not carry on hand a ,
- stock sufficient to feed their people for
e more than a week, and In the case of
, some, such as milk and fresh vegej
tables, supplies are replenished dally.
e The stoppage of transportation therefore,
would mean suffering and want
to these city dwellers, and If continued
^ for long would threaten many of them
t with actual starvation.
g
Vast Lom to Farmers.
0
To the farmers of the country a gen1
eral railroad strike would be a catas"
trophe, only less serious. Cut off from
his market, the farmer could not move
- his produce, and the price of grain and
i other staples would be quickly cut In
1 IWO, WQlie iue maibCL vmue ui rnuiti
| perishable articles would disappear en_
tlrely. The strike would make It exk
tremely difficult to harvest crops In
many sections. It would make tta? diss
posal of the crops Impossible, and
* would Inflict losses amounting to huni
dreds of millions of dollars upon the
; farmers of the country.
The great industrial plants of the
? country would soon be forced to close
down following the declaration of a
[ strike because they could not obtain
supplies needed for their operation, nor I
| could they ship their finished products i
to market. Their plants would soon
be idle, and millions of men would be
thrown out of work.
With Kie Income of practically
every class of citizens either seriously
cut down or suspended entire
ly, merchants would transact Utile
business, because there would be few
purchasers. In short, the industrial
%ctlviti. s of the whole country would
be virtually palsied from the mom out
the railroads ceased to operate. The
lniury to the railway companies and to
the striking employes would be enor
mous, but it would be inflniteai.na!
compared with the staggering lo^s th?r
would fall upon the g^rwral public.
