HE WEARS WELL
Secretary Case of the Eliz

merce spoke so well at the
Bankers Meeting in Edenton
Monday on "Business and the
Business Man" that Elizabeth
City people wanted to hear the
speech, too. And so Mr. Case
will deliver his address at the
First Baptist. Church Sunday
night- If you can arrange it,
you'll want to hear him. He has
a way of mixing up religion
and business that is altogether
wholesome and helpful. When
first you hear Mr Case you are
impressed immediately by the
ease with which he speaks. But
everafter you are impressed by
the fact that he has thought out
something to say on that parti
cular subject and for that par
ticular occasion. Consequently
he has a definite message to de
liver and he delivers it well.
o if you've heard him before
qn another subject you need not
be -afraid that he will say the
same thing. He doesn't do it

VICTIM
Rev. Dudley B. Ashford, Noted
. Preacher and Lecturer, Well
Known On Three Continents
Was Ordered to Give Up
Work.
Reverend Dudley B. Ashford Is
an extraordinary man. Although
still on the sunny side of forty, he
has crowded more service to human
Ity into a few years than most men
(accomplish in a life time.
i Soon after his graduation from
i
New Court Congregat'onal church,
London. A short time thereafter he
waj selected to preesnt the cause of
Congo Reform and African Missions
i before the people of Norway, and
toured that land with such success
!that he was greeted by enormous
' crowds at every meeting,
I In 1908, under the auspices of the
I Colonial MIslonary Society he was
sen to New Zealand and for three
years labored as a missionary among
the Maoris, where his experiences
were novel and thrilling.
In 1916 he returned to England
and served for thre years at Wood
Street Congregational church, Cardiff)
South Wales, the biggest Congrega
tional church in he British Empire.
It was while here that he fell one of
the early victims of the great 1918
flu epidemic, an attack from which
he. had not fully recovered when he
accepted a call to the Queen's Road
Congregational church, St.. Jonh's
Newfoundland, where his forceful
pleaching soon attracted record con-
that tells how he was restored to
health and strength.
Moved By Gratitude
This letter, addresed to the Tanlac
Co.. Atlanta, Ga., is an eloquent ex
pression of gratitude and is as fol

known as 'Tanlac,' has been such an
inestimable blessing to me that I
feel constrained to write and tell you
so. In October, 1918, while a min

nerves seemed to go all to pieces
and my digestion became ao derang
ed that I could eat scarcely anything
My heart gave me a lot of trouble;
it was an effort to walk up stairs
and at night I used to lie awake in
continual dread lest my heart should
stop beating altogether.
"Then as a result of exposure one
winter's night In a small boat, while
in the execution of my duties, I was
seized with violent pain in the right
shoulder and arm, which nearly
drove me to distraction. I consult
ed doctors and specialists and under
went massage and electrical tr3at
nient, without getting ' much relief,
I was ordered to give up all preach
ing and public work for at ljast
three months and I began to fear
that my health was permanently af
fected. . . . . He Had Been Skeptical . . , .
"I had always been rather skepti
cal of the testimonials concerning the
merits of any medicine, but one day
I read the sstatement of a man
whose symptoms seemed to be iden
tical with my own, and his praife of
Tanlac rang so true that I decided to
give it a trial myself. I bought a
bottle and its effect was almost Im
mediate. My nervous condition be
gan to disappear and I began to sleep
at night. My appetite so Increased
that I could scarcely salisfy It, and
I found myself putting on rate rapid
ly. By the time I had taken the
fourth bottle, the pains in my arm
and shoulder disappeared and I am
feeling better today than for a long
time past.
"I feel that I should be guilty of
base ingratitude if I did not write
and-tell you wha a boon Tanlac has
been to me, and I give you this un
solicited testimonial to use as you
may think best, in the hope that
others mya fine in your wonderful
m dlclne the means to restored
health and strength."
