"For the past yean I had suffered
terribly from indigestion and was in
a badly run-down condition when I
started taking Tanlac. My appetite
was Very poor and I .could not digest
even the lightest kind of food. I
suffered a great deal with nervous

dizzy spells. I was nervous and weak,
felt depressed all the time and could
get but little sleep. I had lost con

Once in a little open shop I saw a
rug that attracted me. I started to
enter. But the crouched figure on a
mat put out a long-fingered left hand,
grasped firmly my ankle, and removed
my foot outside the threshold. I,
thought there must be some supersti
tion about which foot went first. So I
tried the other. The same left hand
proved again its strength. All the
while the merchant did not speak or
look up. His right hand was string
ing beads and he was smoking a
nargile. He simply didn't want to
bother with me, and my shoe told him
that I was a frnnga (European). Later

like the Christian, does not understand
this. It Isn't in his blood.Chicago
Tost MARVELOUS 1S HUMAN BRAIN
Many Millions of Nerve Cells Make Op
the Mind Which Controls the
Body's Movements.
The highest product of evolution Is
undoubtedly the human brain. This Is
the seat of the mindand, so far as. it
soul,'' also. Filling the great cavity of
the skull Is theVerebrum, thrown'into
many folds or so-called "convolutions."
This matter is gray on the outside and
white"toward the center. It is In the
gray matter, composed of millions up
on millions of nerve cells, connected
one with another, that higher thought
reasoning, association, memory,- etc.,
go on. In the brain there are certain
sensory centers which record' the
senses of sight,-*smell,- taste, hearing
and touch. There are also certain
"areas" or parts of the brain which
move various parts of the body and
these are the so-called "motor areas."
The anatomy of the brain has been
carried to such a fine degree of knowl
edge that we are now enabled to put
our finger upon -n certain spot in the
brain and say, "This group (or grbu'ps)-
of cells moves the little toe on the
left foot," or whatever it may be. Ev
ery movement in the body Is controlled
by these centers, either in the brain
or by the nerves which branch out
from the spinal cord. All activities
of the body, however other than those
Initiated by the brain, are unconscious.

So far I have
only taken three bottles, but I now
have a splendid appetite, eat just
anything I want and everything
agrees with me perfectly. My nerves
are in good condition, I sleep well
and have gained several pounds in
weight. In, fact, the improvement in
my health has been so, great all my
friends are telling me how well I
look. I don't believe there is another
medicine in the world that will begin
to compare with,Tanlac and I would
gladly pay five dollars a bottle for it
if I couldn't get it any cheaper, for
after what it has done for me I think
it would be, cheap at that price."
