 T was also very nervous and dizzy and was easily tired. l finally got so weak l could not walk any distance without rest ing. My kidneys must have been affected also, for I had severe pains in my sides and back.
 My sister, Mrs. Minnie Hall. came to see me one day and she looked so well I asked her what she had been taking. She told me Tanlac, and I made up my mind right then and there to give it a trial.
 Acting on her advice. I bought a bottle and have been taking it regularly since. Of course I expected it to help me, but if anyone had told me that there was medicine on earth that would have helped me like Tanlac would not have believed them.
 ''The medicine seemed to be just the one thing I needed, for it just filled me with new life and energy from the very first dose. In only a few days my appetite returned and began to enjoy my meals and everything seemed to agree with me and nourish me.
