Brown at his residence, 132 Yorkville street, Toronto, recently. Mr. Brown who has been a resident of Toronto all his life, was for many years a travel. ling salesman and is now employed by the Robert Simpson Company. He is a member of the Masonic lodge also of the Commercial Travellers As- sociation and is highly respected by all who know him. "If 1 could have had Tanlac five years ago," continued Mr. Brown, "I could have saved myself, not only a world of suffering but more than a thousand dollars, which I paid out for other treatment and medicines that failed to do me any good. don't reckon anyone ever had a worse case of stomach trouble than I had. In fact, I got so bad off I was given up to die by my famiy and friends, and had lost about all hgpe myself of ever getting well. Even the 'most delicate and dainty dishes fail- ed to arouse any appetite, and the least bit of food of any kind caused me intense suffering. 1 would bloat up terribly with gas, had a mean, agonizing pain in the pit of my stomach and was never free from headache. No matter what I ate my suffering was awful and for over nine months at one time was on a light diet. Half the time I couldn't put on my boots or dress myself, because I didn't have the strength and my desperate condition can be better un-| \derstood when I say I had fallen from one hundred and thirty-five pounds to only ninety-six I was nothing but a frame of skin and bones, was so nervous I could hardly sleeep and felt so irritable and bad I didn't want anyone around me at all. Every thing was done for me it seems that could be-- X-ray photo- graphs of my stomach were 'made, stomach pumps used and every treat- ment known, hut no one seemed to understand my case and I kept get- ting worse. After spending eight months in the hospital here to no avail I was advised to go to Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, and I spent three months there but still didn't improve ome bit. 1 felt that life was hardly worth living and had lost all faith in medicines. "One day while talking to my brother-in-law he asked me why didn't take Tanlac, and I said no, 1 have taken enough stuff; nothing will do me any good. But he insisted un- til I bought a bottle and Providence was surely guiding me that day for I firmly believe that was the move that saved my life. To say it is won- derful the way Tnlac has helped me doesn't half way express it. I'm already feeling a thousand times bet- ter and am on the road to health after ive years of torture... I have already {cked up from ninety-six to ole hun- dred and thirteen pounds and am 'looking and feeling better than-1 have in years. My appetite is tine, the gas and pain has all disappeared from #y stomach and I can eat most any- thing 1 want without the slightest inconvenience, My friends are simp- iy amazed at my wonderful improve- ment. I have also told the physicians who did all they could for me, what I am taking and they say they never Saw such a change in a man. 1 be- 'lieve Tanlac has saved my life and de- serves more than I will ever be able fo say for it. I will be glad to write Ro anyone who wishes to verify this statement and tell them what Tanlac thas done for me." ' Tanlac is sold in Kingston by A. P. 'Chown.

The mat- ter of the ferry service between Kingston and Cape Vincent was un- der discussion, and the members ex- pressed satisfaction over the fact that a service had been established by the Rockport Navigation Co. The railway committee has been at work since May endeavoring to have the service resumed, and it is largely through the efforts of this committee that a boat is operating again. The committee is now putting its energy into another most important matter for Kingston, that of having the mail 4nd express taken over by the new company, so that the busi-| ness men and citizens genmerally will benefit. When the former boat on this run quit, the mail was handled by other parties and . the American Express Company was also handicap- ped in their business.
