 The proprietors of Tanlac have re- ceived countless testimonials from peo- pie in every walk of life, earnestly commenting 1t. Among them are a number from prominent ministers of various churches. A few of these are printed below.
 Rev. W. 0. Norton is pastor of the Wesley Memorial church of Jackson vile, Fla. He says :-"T suffered from chronic indigestion for years. I seldom slept well and had severe headaches. Since taking Tanlac feel as well as ever I did-sleep splendidly and eat anything I want. Tanlac has restored my health and I feel 1t my duty to recommend It."
 Rev. A. Fl. Sykes, pastor of Watkins Park Presbyterian church, Nashville. Tenn, says Mrs. Sykes suffered from stomach and kidney troubles and a nervous breakdown. Tanlac restored her health-she is gaining strength and flesh rapidly-her full restoration Is but a question of time."
 Rev. D. G. Butler, pastor of Central Baptist church. Muskogee, Okla., says :-"I had attacks of acute indiges- ton. Results from taking Tanlac have been most satisfactory-am glad to recommend 1t as the best medicine I have ever tried"
 Rev. F. M. Winburn, Methodist, San Antonio, Tex, says :-"I had no appe- tite-suffered from weakness and gen. eral debility-could not work without quickly tiring. Found Tanlac just what my system needed. I consider Tanlac a good medicine to build up rundown systems"

There is a great deal of anxiety among
