 At times I would feel so dizzy that whenever l stopped over I would turn blind and almost fall my head. just simply felt like l couldn't stay up and do my work but forced myself along. All through the night I would wake up, my stomach would be in such a condition that l could not get back, to sleep for scmetime
 Nearly every morning got up with a dull headache and was sd badly consti- pated I was compelled to take laxative of some sort all the time to get even temporary relief.
 My usual weight is about 14o pounds and fell off until weighed only Ill.
 "I wish to state that I have tried most all kinds of medicine and had doctors to treat me and could get nothing but d slight temporary relief. have spent lots of money in the 10 years for medicine and had just about given up hope of ind ing anything that would do me any good.
 T noticed this medicine, Tanlac, adver- tised in the Birmingham papers and after reading so many statements from peo- pie that had been using it and getting good results, l thought I would try 1t and called on our druggist here and, find ing they did not have it, ordered it from D.
