could sleep very little. Mrs. Mardcn
explained. For some unaccounta bic
reason I had severe headaches most Of
the time. l was in a terribly run
down condition all the time and could
not understand just why.
NATURALLY my friends noticed the
change in me. and many of them sug-
gested various things. but the real
friend was the one who advised me to
try Tanlac. She insisted that Tanlac
would help me and although I had my
doubts determined to try it.
by the time I had taken three
bottles Of Tanlac I was much i'm
proved and have been rapidly getting
better ever since. I am certainly sur
prieed at the results / received from
Tsnlac and 1t gives me great pleasure
