We made connections at Spartanburg, but had to lay over ier about eight hours at Blacksburg, got a dinner and supper and the old Vet? ne passed off part of the time in an old ve time experience meeting- Well, I did not know there were so much sheep op stealers during the war. One old ,c_ brother said he never stole anything, ;v_ another said to him, "You made a n(j mighty poor soldier then." One told ,h_ while in Virginia, he and another im friend were planning for a chicken to raid. Said he knew where there were plenty, but his friend must do the )n climbing. The other said all right, th' so they struck out that night. When ty they got to the old negro's house ;m where they were to get their game they stopped near the old negro's ,Xt door. The old gray haired negro was Xyt down at his evening devotion praying for the poor, hungry and cold Conop federate soldiers, asking the good a Lord to feed and take care of them nn and let them tret hark home to their (jy mothers and wives and chfldren. Said he to the other fellow, "We will not ,n_ take any of his chickens." The other ell fellow said, "Psham, don't talk that way, we will pet them. I know where there is a had nepro; we will pet op his." So they went and pot his.

After the sinpinp we were carried in to another |i(j room and was served cream and cake by those sweet pirls. I was assipned to the home of Rev. R. A.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED AMSEY ler and Decorater ie aos-J WAS UNABLE TO WORK FOR SIXTEEN MONTHS Greenville Man Says His Ailments Made Him a Complete Wreck. ALL TREATMENT FAILED W. R. Henson f>ays Not Until Ho Took Tanlac Did He Got Roliof. Gainod 10 Pounds on 3 Bottles. "Tanlac is the best medicine I have ever tried and it has improved my health so much that I can work now, though my ailments had made me a complete wreck and had kept me from working for sixteen (16) months," declared W. R. Henson, a carpenter, who resides on Grave Road, near Augusta St., in the Cherokee Park Suburb or Qreenvflle, S. C. The case of Mr. Haneen ik one of the most remarkable in Greenville which has yet come to the attention of the Tanlac representative. Mr. Henson had kidney and bladder trouble so badly that his health was undermined and his strength was lost. From October, 1914, until a few weeks ago, when he began to take Tanlac, Mr. Henson had been unable to find anything which would give him satisfactory results. He said he gained ten (10) pounds while taking the first three bottles of Tanlac. Just three bottles of "The Master Medicine" made an almost new man of him, said Mr. Henson, and he is strong and sincere in his praise of this wonderful preparation. He considers remarkable the relief it gave him. Mr. Henson's statement follows : "T suffered from a very bad form of kidney and bladder trouble from October, 1914. I had keen pains in my back and left side. After this trouble hit me, my health gave way completely and I became too weak to work. I did nothing but the lightest kind of work around the house until after I began taking Tanlac. I lost much weight as a result of my ailments, and I had absolutely no energy. One of the most distressing symptoms I had was that T had absolutely no control over the bladder muscles. "I sought treatment from many qualified persons and I was told that I had catarrh of the bladder. I also tried many medicines but obtained no ouuj.iiciv.wi; icauus in any case until I bepan Tanlac. "My daughter had been for some time an interested reader of the testimonials of those who had been aided by Tanlac, and she finally convinced me that Tanlac was the medicine I needed, It was exactly the j^fdjcine I needed, as later was proved. "Tanlac Rave me wonderful relief. I pained ten (10) pounds and have taken only three bottles. T can do much work now, and, as an illustration of the heavy work I can do, I today lifted a heavy piece of timber and carried it across the lot. That shows how much my strength has increased. I work a preat deal more now that I have for sixteen months?since this trouble hit me. I feel so much better in every way. If it had not been for Tanlac I puess I would be in bad shape now sure enouph. "It certainly does make me feel so pood to be able to work apain. I am much livelier now, and my kidneys have been repulated and strenpthened. That is the very thinp which makes me happy?mv preatest trouble has been relieved by Tanlac. ?v?o T 1 a vo, ici nuiii y v an i vvu.umrini 'I'anlac. It is the best medicine I have ever tried. I have taken throe bottles and I know it is doing for me what it is advertised to do?and more."
