Most Fiery Skin
No Risk In Trying It-Cannot
Possibly Harm.

You take no risk in trying Poslam,
the skin remedy, as an experiment, to
see what 1t can do. 1t is absolutely
harmless. And the burden of proof
is on Poslam-it must show results,
visibly, or you will not continue to
use 1t. much less recommend 1t to 9TH

That Poslam possesses merit most
unusual in healing skin disease is ap-

to my loss of sleep and my inability
to give my business the proper atten-
ton. l had very little appetite and
the food that | could eat did not agree
with me.
Il have tried great many rene
dies, but nothing has given me the re-
lief that Tanlac offered. Although I
have used but one bottle, my appetite
is much better and I am getting the
sleep at night that I have so much
needed. Those troubled with nervous
ness or liver trouble should give Tan
lac trial, for it has relieved me great
ly and l am sure it will do the same
for them"
