said MIR. Annis.
"My head used to ache from the back Of
my neck up. Everything ate seemed to
disagree with me. I would often feel weak
and dizzy. l would wake up nights with

by stomach trouble.
aTanlac has helped me so much that

what rest and strength this means"
"Almost 30 per cent. OF the sickness Of

stomach have increased 100 per cent. in
the LAST ten years owing, scientists say,
to the hurry up. haphazard methods Of
American living.

That Great Britain's drastic embargo
