TANK TYPE TRACTOR Don't miss the opportunity to see the famous CLETRAC Operate under varied conditions. A. E. COUNSELL SON St. Johnsbury, Vermont APTAIN EARNEST HILL, of Portland, who says he was not able to report for duty before taking Taplac.

Declares he feels like a new man now and is on deck every day ready for work "I feel just like a new man since I began taking Tanlac and 1 am not only willing, but I am anxious to tell other people what this medicine has done for me," said Captain Earnest H. Hill, Portland, recently. Captain Hill is in command of the Ben Hur, plying between Portland and Casco Bay. He has been in the service for ten years and is held in high regard as an officer and citizen by all who know him. "I have suffered from indigestion and stomach trouble for the past eight vears," continued Captain Hill, "and at the time I started taking Tanlac I was in such a weakened condition I could hardly stand up.

When I walked would actually stagger like a drunken man and, at times, would have to hold on to something to keep from falling. After every meal I would simply suffer torment. My food would sour and I would swell up so with gas I could, hardly get my breath. I would also have awful smothering spells at night and sometimes I would have to get un to get my breath. Lots of times I would have to open the windows and doors to let in fresh air, or to go out into the, open air in order to vet my breath.

I could not find to do me any good and along toward the last I became so weak and nervous I could not do my work. "Five bottles of Tanlac have made wonderful change in my condition. in It helped me from the ver- first dose and now I feel as good as I did when I was twenty years old. I sleen fine and have a fine appetite and just feel like a new man in everv wav. I am now able to be on deck every day ready for duty." Tanlac is sold in St.

Johnsbury at the F. G. Landry Drug store.
