Getting worse until | began having at
.acks of acute Indigestion. When these
lttacks came on me | would just swell
Id like mule with the collie, and got

or four long years, and | actually got

vas flirting with my grave, and guess
would have been in it if it hadn't
been for Tanlac. For four years |
couldn't hit lick of work. | guess |
vas as near dead as any man you ever
Jaw TO be alive. But look at me now;
am strong and as well now as lever
