Without exception. this is one OF the
most remarkable cases in wheeling
history Mr.. r. W Todd. who holds
responsible position with the B. a
q. Il. r.. which necessitates constant
travel on his part. had reached a state
bordering closely on a general ner,y-
GUS breakdown. Realizing how badly
ne needed good nerve bracer" ana
tonic. he decided TO try the wonder
medicine" Tanlac. In a statement.
signed BY Mr.. Todd. he SAYS.
knowing OF a number OF my
friends who lad gotten remarkable
results from Tanlac I was led by their
experiences TO see what the new medi-
cine would do for me. Owing 20 the
fact that ! am kept constantly on the
road, my nerves were in a horrible
condition, I had practically no appe-
ute whatever and was always in 4
tired. worn out condition. Since tax
ins three bottles OF this splendid medi-
cine / have "a wonderful appetite. no
longer feel tired and drowsy and /
feel that Tanlac has benefited me to
the extent that I can faithfully recon-
mend IL TO my friends and fellow citi-
zens"
In further talk with Mr. L. T. Rem
frow, the local Tanlac man Mr.. Todd
says. further: Il have tried any num-
Der OF nerve remedies, prior to the
trial l gave Tanlac, without the slight
est results. What little good | deriv-
ed from the use OF these medicines
was short lived. The good did not
last. What I wanted was results, last
ing results. and can truthfully say
that / obtained them through the use
OF Tanlac. Were l not firmly convinc-
ed Of the good that this medicine has
done me. ! would never think OF sign
ing this statement. Under the cir
cUmstances I feel no hesitancy in re-
commanding Tanlac. IN the highest
possible terms. TO all who may be in
need OF an excellent tonic and nerve
restorer"
Tanlac is now being introduced here
