MRS. MATTE TISDEL RECOVERS FROM ID
 YEARS SUFFERING
Has Gained Eight Pounds and Is We'll and Strong
 After Taking Tanlac

''Tanlac relieved me of catarrh of the stomach and head that l had been suf- fering with for 10 years, and 1 think it's the greatest medicine in the world, said Mrs Matte Tisdel few days ago. Mrs. Tisdel resides at 2205 Avenue F, and is the wife of William Tisdel of the well known Birmingham firm of auto mobile painters, Tisdell & Hoover.
 T had indigestion for years" she con- tinued, and it seemed as though every thing l ate would ferment and form gas on my stomach. For the longest times, after a meal, l would feel so full and stuffed up that 1 was miserable and had the most suffocating pains around my heart. Sometimes, it just seemed to stop beating and then l felt perfectly helpless and 1 was almost frightened to death. l kept getting worse and worse all the time and finally l was told 1 had catarrh of the stomach. Then my head got to getting all stopped up and mucous dripped back in my throat and kept me miserable night and day. My mouth was dry and hot and l couldn t get any sleep to do me any good, but would lie awake and toss nearly the whole night long. 1 was so nervous l nearly went crazy and lots of times 1 had to wake up my husband and get him to talk to me and try to quiet my nerves
 T was almost wreck and got so thin l only weighed 96 pounds and it was the hardest thing in ehe world for me to halfway do my work. Every once in awhile during the day I would get so weak I had to stop and lay down, but the rest didn't help me much. Several of my friends begged me to try Tanlac and my husband brought me home three bot ties the day after talked it over with him.
 T just can't find words to describe the wonderful improvement this medicine has made in me. It has made me as well and strong as l ever was in my life. 1 have gained eight pounds already and before l had near finished the last bottle my head was as clear as a whistle, and l was eating anything l wanted and not suffering in the least. l began to gain strength rapidly and now after taking four bottles in all, l feel fine all over. The nervousness has left me and I sleep fine all night long and get up refreshed and full of energy That terrible drip- ping in my throat has stopped and I am so thankful l cant help telling every body how well 1 am. l feel that Tanlac has been a Godsend to me and l certainly am glad to tell everybody what it has dcne for me- for there never was any bigger boosters for anything than my AQSOdIQ anu are TOT l dllldC now
 Probably the most prevalent and dis tressing condition that afflicts humanity is chronic catarrh of the various mu- cous membranes. Catarrh of the stom- ach is the most frequent cause of dys- pepsa and catarrh of the nose and throat lead to inevitable deafness. Frequently the lungs become diseased by the exten. sion of catarrhal inflammation by way of the bronchial tubes to the lung sub stance. An offensive breath constan shifting, discharge from the nose, drop pings in the throat, frequent sneezng watery eyes, full head, headaches depres sion of spirits, nervousness, unsound di gestion and loss of appetite, are amons the numerous symptoms of catarrh The mental and physical state of ca tarrh sufferers is indeed very unfortu nate and it is surprising to know wha an immense number of people are sui fering from this malady when they thinl something else is wrong with them.
