 "I said All right, Mir. Henry. What do you really think of Tanlac? His reply was so commendable to the vir- tues of the medicine that I asked him if he would give me a signed state ment about it. He said yes, of course I will and this is his statement:
 "Last spring I was all wrong some way or other. and couldn't get right. I came to you and bought bottle of Tanlac and began to improve. Two more bottles put me all right, and I felt perfectly well. A few weeks ago I had the grippe and was beginning to get down and out again, and about a week ago I bought another bottle and have taken 1t and am perfectly well again.
 CT unhesitatingly recommend Tan lac to anyone who is sick and worn- out. as I believe that if anybody will take Tanlac when they first begin to feel bad it will prevent and keep off sickness. It certainly is great rem edy.
