the doctors called it-really dis
lprdered stomach, with consequent
ftonstipation, pains in the shoulders,
headaches, belching, heartburns, loss
of appetite, loss of sleep and faint
ing, spells. For weeks I could not
sleep on my back.
One week ago, upon recon-
mendation of friends, who had tried
the medicine, 1 purchased one bot
tie Of ranlac and began taking it.
Since my second dose I have suf-
fered none Oh the troubles to which
/ refer, and really believe am 60
ing to get perfectly we'll and strong
again. Won't that be wonderful at
my age? Well, certain it is that
ranlac is a wonderful medicine, and

II shall continue the treatment
with perfect confidence in the final
result.
