These terrible pains in my back and head have all disap- pes and l sleep like a child am no ger nervous, and when I get up n'e Hgs l feel refreshed, cheerful a: right. l am now able to attend to y household duties, and I feel as if had started life all over again My bus 3and is highly delighted and my recovery is the talk of the neighbor- hood. l do nothing but rejoice all day long over the recovery of my health and praise Tanlac to everybody.
 T feel so grateful for my escape frcm the operating table and the knife that you may publish what I have said; you may, if you wish tell other women suffering as I did to come to see me and l will be glad to tell them all about my case. Sold by the Boyer Drug Store. advt
