MRS. HENRY BURK
MAKES STATEMENT
SAYS HUSBAND RECLAIMED HEALTH
BY USING TANLAC
He Improved from First Dose of "Mas
ter Medicine" and Says it is
Best Ever

Mrs. Henry Burk, whose husband is
an employe of the Chevrolet Motor Co.,
Flint, recently made the following
statement:
my husband was a victim of stom-
ach trouble of the worst form until he
took Tanlac recently. He was in very
bad shape. His digestion was bad and
he suffered from gas on his stomach.
He could not touch bite of anything
greasy. Even vegetables that cooked
myself would not digest well. His
tongue would be coated in the morn
ings. He always complained of a bad
taste in his mouth. His nerves finally
got on edge and sleep would not come
to him for hours after retiring. He
had the worst kind of pains in the back
of his head and often had dizzy spells.
''He tried every medicine he had ever
heard of almost but got no relief and |
can tell you was worried about him.
One day while he was at work l went
down town and got him bottle of Tan
lac. He did not want to take it at first
but persuaded him. He started i'm
proving within very few days after
taking the first dose. Now after a bot
tie of the medicine he is worlds better
He can eat anything no matter whether
it is greasy or not. His headaches have
left him and he is not nervous. He
says each day that Tanlac is the best
medicine he ever saw"
Tanlac may be obtained here at the
store of E. E. Huyck.
