"It Looks Like a
New World She Says"
Dora Sheldon Glad That She Is at
Last Rid of Her Ahiiction
BENEFITED BY TANLAC

"It looks like new world to me
nova DAYS" says Dora Sheldon, OF
Carlisle, Pa, for I am at last able
TO walk in comfort after suffering
such misery for SO long.
",ranlac is certainly q wonderful
remedy for it has brought me relief
when all others had failed to help
me and / cannot find words to tell
my gratitude.
For long time l had been affi-
icted with a swelling of my legs
that was so bad that l had to hobble
in shoes many sizes too large and
often l could get nothing but felt
slippers and could only get around
the house slowly and painfully.
"I tried this, that and the other
medicine but none of them did me n
particle of good and l was in des-
pai, when read about Tanlac help
ing someone who was afflicted much
as | was.
II began taking Tanlac and in a
few days l noticed that the swelling
was going down and soon it disap-
peared entirely.
Now / have no signs of any swell
ing and 1 feel wonderfully improved
all over"
Tanlac, the famous reconstruction
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' drug store, where the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.
