Doctors Told Mrs. Ellen &. Flaniken
She Gould Never Get WeIl-Feels
That She Owes Her Life to This
Great Medicine.

Il was down to the pitiful weight of
ninety pounds when | began taking
Tanlac, but after taking seven bottles
of the medicine | weighted one hun
bred and fifteen pounds-an actual
gain of twenty-five pounds" said Mrs.
Ellen e. Flaniken, residing at GIG
Breedlove street, Memphis, Tenn,
Mrs. F'laniken has lived in Memphis
for thirty years and has large circle
of friends.
"Twenty-fve years ago." continued
Mrs. Flaniken 81 began suffering with
constipation. Then my stomach got
out of order and later on my heart got
to fluttering and giving me trouble,
but at that time | didn't realize it was
caused by the gas on my stomach. |
was treated for heart trouble but the
medicine did me no good at all and
became alarmed. My heart would
jump so | could hardly breathe. My
stomach just kept full of gas all the
time, feeling sometimes like it would
almost burst and was so tender could
hardly bear my clothes to touch me.
| would just belch all the time and |
got so nervous l couldn't sleep to do
me any good and sometimes for two
or three nights at a time | would
scarcely sleep any at adjust doze q
few minutes and then wake up again.
was tired all the time and Deem
Der a year ago, when | had gotten so
bad, | was so weak I couldn't sweep
my floor and was so thin looked like
frame. | didn't think | could live
much longer and the doctor told me
could never get we'll. | lived on
liquid food and raw eggs week in and
week out and that, and even water,
hurt me just as bad as other things.
All my neighbors know what dread
full condition | was in and none of
them thought l could live but a short
while longer.
Now this is just the condition l
was in when read a statement given
by Engineer Weeks, Of Jacksonville,
Florida, who described my case it
seems to me, better than | can myself.
| wrote to him and asked him if he
had really gotten the benefits from
Tanlac as stated in the paper, and he
wrote me that every word was the
truth. Then l 'phoned to the drug
store to send me bottle and before
finished that bottle, / noticed the
pains and soreness in my stomach were
getting better. | kept on taking Tan
lac and improving until I took seven
bottles and when I weighed I found
that my weigh had increased from
nienty pounds to one hundred and fif-
teen and | felt as well as I ever did
in my life. This was about May or
June last and Pm still feeling just
splendid in every way. I'm eating
most anything I want and don't have
any gas on my stomach and what I
thought was heart trouble has van
ished since | took Tanlac and got so
could digest my food. After l com
menced to improve, I went to my doc
tor and told him | was taking Tanlac
and he said it was a good tonic. |
think it is the best medicine there is
and | am indeed thankful for what it
has done for me. I'm giving this
statement because I feel | owe it to
others who are suffering as l did and
who may be skeptical like | was at
first. I am as happy as person could
be over the benefits and my neighbors
are praising Tanlac like | am for what
they see it has done for me-"
