JUDGEE.E.B|RDsONG
COMES OUT WITH A
STATEMENT

ITO me, the strongest possible evi-
dence that Tanlac does what is
claimed for it, is the remarkable i'm
provement it has made in my condi-
tion," said Judge Edgar E. Birdsong,
who is one of the best known men in
Hancock county, Georgia. Judge
Blrdsong resides at Jewell Ga, and
enjoys a reputation for honesty and
integrity that stands uuimpeached
throughout the thirty years in which
he has presided over the court in of
flcial capacity. His statement, CIV
en- before and witnessed by a notary
public, will bear great weight.
Il can hardly remember the time
when my supper has not caused me
such torture from indigestion and
heartburn, that l didn't almost dread
to see bedtime come" he continued.
Long into the night | have suffered
agonies until it seemed I would never
get any rest Undigested food gath
cred in my stomach like hard humps
and seemed to sour, and panied me
like hot Goals of fire. as would form
from pieces of fermented food and
swell me until | was forced to belch
1t up and it seemed almost like a
flame, had found its way into the re-
gion of my heart.
although it was more uncomfort-
able at night, l suffered almost as
much discomfort at breakfast and at
my noon meal. | lost weight and
strength alarmingly and became so
weak and worn out, that I dreaded to
think of sitting through a session Of
my court.
81 saw so many Endorsements from
prominent people, telling of the merit
of Tanlac, that l decided to see what
it would do for me.
"My improvement began imme-
diately after l had taken the first
few doses of Tanlac. I can now eat
and get the nourishment from any
thing that is set before me, and it di-
gests readily. My stomach is in
fine condition and the belching up of
gas which caused my heartburn, is a
thing of the past, and | am gaining
in weight and strength every day.
II am glad to give this affidavit
for I feel that there are numbers of
people who will see my statement and
try Tanlac, and | know they will get
results from it, for l think it is un-
equalled as a remedy for troubles
like mine"
Genuine Tanlac is sold only and
exclusively in Pensacola by the Crys-
