In these days of "steeple chase" drinks, which are little more than experiments in velocity, Schlitz aging possesses great significance. Schlitz concludes the process of fermentation in the brewery. Fermentation is the work of living organisms. But these organisms alive in your stomach will cause biliousness, flatulence, and a host of other ills. Schlitz is thorougnly aged, fermented. Then it is sterilized by Pasteur's process through which no organism can live. These processes cannot be accomplished without time. It takes months to create Schlitz. During these months the brew is made according to the latest dictates of science, based on discoveries dating back 260 years to Leeuwenhoek, the Hollander, who first used the micro scope for examination of fermentation organisms. After all this care in brewing, Schlitz is filtered through white wood pulp, put into sterilized bottles of Brown Glass to protect it from all possibility of deterioration.

The Brink That Made B3i!wan!cee Famous i BRIGS HIS Three Years Search for Health Ends With Suc cess and S. F. Man is Re turning to Hunt for Gold. Keeps Tanlac With Him. "Tanlac certainly beats anything I've ever run across, for it's put me back on the job again feeling fine when nothing else would do me any good," was the emphatic statement made by Charles Cherblum A. Miner, who is living at the Reno Hotel, 252 6th Street. San Francisco. "For thirty years I've been doing mining work all over the world, espe cially in the states and Alaska, and contracted mineral poisoning which affected my whole system. About three years ago I wts working in the copper mines in Arizona and my con dition got so bad I just had to give up work altogether. My appetite went back on me completely, and the little I did eat caused such cramping spells in my Etomp.cn that it almost doubled me up and beads of perspiration would stand out on me. I .lad such terrible spells of dizziness that everything turned black before my eyes, and I had to sit down or grab hold of the nearest support to keep from falling, "I also got rheumatism so bad that it seemed like every bone and muscle In my body ached and pained me. My kidneys bothered me a great deal, and my back hurt me so bad that if I JOYT OLD PARTNER tried to stoop over It simply seemed like I would break in two. "Well, I came to San Francisco and began taking treatment, and in a year's time I had spent more than six teen hundred dollars without any re lief. I hardly knew what sleep was. and my arms and legs pained me so badly I couldn't even walk or lift a chair. I couldn't get .n a comfortable position, every move was agony for me, and the pain was so great that I would just almost cry out. "One day my old partner came to see me and asked me to try .Tanlac, so I had him get me five bottles. Well. I stuck right to the medicine, and it has put me in such good condition that I feel like I could jump a fence or run a foot race with anybody. My appetite is so big that I want to be eating all the time, 3nd my stomach is in such good order I eat anything I want without It causing me the least bit of trouble. I don't have those dizzy spells any more, and my kid neys no longer bother me. The rheu matism se-ms to have left me com pletely for I never feel a sign of it, and at night I sleep like a log. "I'm working at the Union Ship Yards now but im going back to mining in a short while. Why, I've actually gained fifteen pounds in weight, and am feeling as strong and well as I ever did in my life. I al ways keep a bottle of Tanlac on hand and if I ever feel a little out of sorts, it only takes a few doses to straighten me right out. Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co.

But his hair doesn't ache, it just gradually dies, and when it Is nearly gone and the roots are dead he anxiously tries a dozen different remedies at once and then resigns himself to baldness.
