TANLAC is BETTER
THAN HOT SPRINGS
SAYS Gus STEELE
Popular Mounted Officer Was So
Weak He Couldn't Walk Over
a Block.

Ii there is man in Memphis who
believes in Tanlac, that man is Gus
Steele Steele tiis popular poii0o officer, vino
is in charge Of the Barksdale mounted
station. Mr.. Steele has been on the
Memphis police force for the past
twelve years. and is an accommodate,
ing and efficient officer. In speaking
of the remarkable benefits he had de-
rived from Tanlac, he said:
Il have had rheumatism for sixteen
years, and last winter | had grippe
and came near dying with pains in
my back and sides. After getting up
from my bed last January, | was sc
weak and had such awful pains, could
not walk two blocks without giving
out. | would have shortness of breath
and sometimes would have to just
gasp for breath. | could not eat any
thing hardly, and sometimes when
would go to the table | would just
have to get up and leave. The very
sight of food made me sick at my
stomach, | could not sleep and was
cross and irritable all the time.
lost twenty pounds in weight and was
just completely down and out.
Il did everything man could think
of trying to get relief. | even went
to Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Mar
tinsville, Indiana, but received mighty
little benefit,
That's just the shape / was in
when began taking Tanlac. | am
on my second bottle now and can
eat anything | want and plenty of it,
and everything agrees with me. Those
awful pains | had in my back and
sides and chest are about gone and
MY rheumatism has improved wonder
fully.
My strength has returned so | can
work anywhere. To tell you the truth,
| feel just like a new man and am
getting to be like my old self again.
All of my friends can see the big
change in me, and | am telling every
body about Tanlac. If the people
don't believe what | am telling, you
just tell then to come to see me and
they can see for themselves"
