it-really disorded stomach
with consequent constipation,
pains in the shoulders, headache
belching, heartburn, loss of ap-
petite, loss of sleep and fainting
spells, For weeks | could not
sleep on my back.
lone waek ago, upon recon-
mendation of friends, who had
tried the medicine, | purchased
one bottle of Tanlac and began
taking it. Since my second dose
have suffered none of these
troubles to which | refer, and
really believe | am going to get
perfectly we'll and strong again.
|
Won't that be wonderful at my
age? Well, certain it is that
Tanlac is a wonderful medicine,
and you know that | am not CIV

and am rather orthodox as to
materia medica.
Il shall continue the treat
ment with perfect confidence in
the final results.
