He Declares.

Il have not only gained 90 pounds
in the past thirty days but my re-
covery has surprised everybody who
knew about my dreadful condition"
said Virgil II. Robinson. OF 1914 Live
Oak street, Dallas, recently in one OF
the most remarkable statements yet
made in connection with Tanlac.
Last February year ago. 'continu-
ed Mr.. Robinson, Il was taken down
with what some said was auto-intoxica-
ton and what others called ulcer of
the stomach. My stomach was full of
gas all the time and | was badly bloat-

and my heart acted so peculiar /

had belched sour gases so long till
my throat was raw and sore and |
lived on cereals and soup so long | had
no strength.
MY father had read a great deal
about Tanlac and insisted that take it
and a lady friend and neighbor of ours
right up the street sent word several
times for me - try l.. | didn't have
much hope of it helping me but was
in such a desperate condition l was
willing to try anything. So you may
know | was surprised and overjoyed

found l was gaining at the rate of a

Il now weigh one hundred and seven

twenty pounds of my lost flesh and am
still gaining. not only in weight but in
health and ctrengtn. / eat just any
and everything l want and feel simply

the other day and said, Well, we had

cause We didn't think you would ever
live to wear it again The way I'm
picking up now I'll soon be large
enough for my clothes again, but the
best of all is, my troubles are gone
and there's not enough money in Dallas
to buy the good Tanlac has done me.
All my people thought l was going to
die and new they can't stop talking
about the wonderful work of Tanlac in
my case. I'feel like want to tell ev-
erybody personally about it. My

This season Boston was fourth. St.

improve her position, being seventh.

led the league
Washington was out in front in the
