It is highly improbable that

Well- Known Ministers of the South Gome Out Openley and Fear-'

Medicine That Has Helped Them. . .
4 Rarely will the ministers qf .Gospel indorse a proprietary
medicine. The preacher's high calling, the influence he cooi
mans puts a grave rdspous'biiity on his every word. He will
not jeopardize his reputation by commending a thing With
out first assuring himself it is all right. His word carries
carries as nfucujveight in the hom, on the street, or:ia the
publiq prints as in the pulpit.
When, ministers of some of the
greatest-communions in the land
endorse Tanlac their words
carry convictioni They say
what they know to be the truth.
They have put Tanlac to the test
of personal service and have not
fouftd it wanting.
The propritors of Tanlac have
received countless testimonies
from people in every walk of life,
earnestly. recommending, it.
Among them are a number from
prominent ministers of various
churches. A few of- these are

Rev W C Norton is pastor of
the Wesley Memorial church of
Jacksonville, FJa. He "says;-"I
suffered from chronic indiges

well and had severe headaches.

daughter was a nervous wreck
from indigestion. Tanlac gave,
her an appetite-r-she can eat any
thing. She is on the road to

Rev Jas. H New, Baptist,
Clarkston, Ga., says: "My .wife
had severe cramps, headaches,

caused her troubles to disappear
and she never complains now." I
Rev J A Vallery, former su
perintendent of Bethany Home,

Rev.. W-T Robr, Pastor West
Lonsdale Methodist church,
; Knoville. Tenn.. testified from
personal experience as to the
great benefit he derived from
taking Tanlac for disordered
stomach.
No greater praise can be given
a remedy than the unsolicited
testimony of men whose lives
are devoted to the betterment
of their fellow men. Their in
tegrity cannot be doubted. They
serve their calling often at great
personal sacrifice. Tanlac has
helped them they so because they
want to do you good.
