"I Was in Constant
Misery" Says Barber
Stomach Was All Rurnctl t'p l>jr Nerv
ous Indigestion and Health
Was Coins
TAN'IiAO SAVED HIM
"It sure was a close shave for me,"
says H. D. Buxton, a popular barber
of 581 Showers St., Harrisburg, Pa.,
"for I had been so tortured and tor
mented by nervous indigestion that I
had about reached the limit of my
endurance."
"My stomach seemed as if it was
burning up all the time and I never
got a minute's respite day or night.
Gas was forever rumbling and rolling
around inside of me and although I
always had an empty sort of feeling
1 was never hungry and food didn't
appeal to me."
"And when I did force myself to
eat, my stomach would turn on me
and 1 would suffer such agony that it
was often impossible for me to keep
at work and 1 would have to crawl off
in a corner somewhere until the worst
of It was over."
"My nerves were in rotten bad
shape, I was jumpy, fidgety and
couldn't sleep for sour apples and I
always felt so tired and worn out that
by noon time I was ready to drop ill
my tracks."
"I tried a lot of things that I heard
were good for my trouble but none of
Iliem touched the spot until I began
taking Tanlac. And, take it from me,
that medicine made me sit up and take
notice right off."
"It sure did set my stomach to
rights ir next to no time and it petted
my nerves back to where-they be
longed, so that now I feel like a two
year-old and I've almost forgotten I
ever had a bum stomach."
"I eat anything I want, I sleep fino
an.d I feel tip-top all over and I gladly
give Tanlac the credit."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here at
Gorgas" Drug Store, where the Tanlac
man is meeting the people and ex
plaining tho merits of this master
medicine.
Tanlac is sold also at the florgan
Drug Store In the P. R. R. .Station.
Ask Twenty Thousand
People
There are about twenty thousand
people in Harrisburg and vicinity
whom I have fitted with eyeglasses. I
take pleasure In referring you to any
one of this number In regard to my
ability and my integrity. In many in
stances where 1 have fitted a person,
other members of the family have
come to me for my professional serv
ices. Many others, without any solici
tation on my part recommend their
friends to come to me. People who
have moved to other cities, send to me
to duplicate their grasses when the
originals are lost or broken—all of
which is a strong assurance that my
services and charges are satisfactory.
If you need glasses at all, you need
the services of a reliable and compe
tent optometrist. Under no circum
stances will I sell anyone cheap or
trashy eyeglasses, neither will I over
charge for a good pair. I will not fit
anyone with glasses until I have made
a thorough, painstaking test of the
eyes. X must know they aro right be
fore they go out of my office. "SERV
ICE" is a motto with some people.
With mo it is a basis on which I
build my success.

Lives of Many Passengers
Stamford, Conn., March 5. A yel
low pine guard rail, 9 by 6 Inches, pre
vented a bad wreck on tho Now York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad at
the drawbridge over the Mianus
River yesterday. Two coaches of the
Boston express, which left New York
at 1:03 p. m., were derailed and jump
ed along the ties which form the lloor
of the drawbridge over the bed of
tho river 250 feet before the train
was brought to a standstill.
The express was on tho outside track
and only the stout guard rail and the
safety chains collecting the cars pre
vented -the derailed coaches. If not
tho entire train, from plunging into
tho river, forty feet below. It is a
navigable river with a very muddy
bottom.
There were perhaps 150 persons in
the two cars that were derailed,
among them many women. Some of
the women became hysterical, others
fainted as the derailed cars bumped
over the wooden ties. No one was in
jured.
