FARMER, rs, IS
WELL Man NOW
Old Kentucky CaVa|ryman Finds
Way TO End Weakness.


Il. A. Wallace, who lives on the owen
ton pike, six miles from Frankfort, Is
one of the best known farmers In
Franklin county. He II seventy-siN
years old and a veteran Of the Third
Kentucky cavalry. in which he served
in the stirring days Of 81. TIe is also
a prominent member of the Odd Eel
lows lodge and when his friends speak
Of him they often say, His word is his
bond"
Mr. Wallace recently felt generally
run down in health and became weak
and nervous. He was persuaded to try
Tanlac. the tonic which has been in
dorsed by literally thousands Of fellow
Kentuckians. aud after thorough test
he felt himself In duty hound 20 come
out with the following public state
ment. He said:
II suffered from nervousness and
weakness and was generally run down.
I couldn't sleep well nights on account
of my nervousness. l took four bottles
Of Tanlac, and the result was simply
remarkable. For one of my age al
most feel like new man.
II am glad To recommend Tanlac be-
cause of what II has done for me. /
believe II to be the best tonic / have
ever taken, especially for the nerves
and as strength restorcr."
IL is on the recommendation Of such
men as Mr.. Wallace that Tanlac has
become so popular all through Ken
lucky. Men like him would not come
out publicly and praise ii If its merits
did rot justify their words.
II you are not feeling right get Tan
lac today. Don't put il off. as delay Ia
health matters is dangerous.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in STAN
