laney, a dear little old lady, who lives
with her daughter at 2135 Penn ST.,
Harrisburg, Pa.
II was quite miserable for my stom-

bad spells. Why often If 1 rode on the
street car for only q block or two l
would become deathly sick and would
have to leave the car quickly"
ut was terrible to be taken so, but
thank goodness it is all over now"
And you will think it a strange
thing to complain about but l suffered
so with cold feet, they hardly ever felt
warm and often they would go to sleep
and 1 would have to rub and rub them
to bring them back to life again"
But since 1 have been taking Tan
lac it has made such a wonderful diff
ference in the way I feel. Why ac-
tually / feel ten years younger and !
can't tell you how much happier"
MY stomach trouble has all gone,
I do not have those awful sick spells
any more and my circulation seems to
have improved for my feet are warm
and comfortable all the time"
II think Tanlac is a wonderful
medicine when it will do so much good
for one my age"

tonic, is now being introduced here at

man is meeting the people and ex-
planning the merits of this master
