WOMAN GAINS
SEVENTEEN POUNDS
TAMLAC MAKES HER WELL AND
ST0NG AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS
OF SUFFERING.

''Tanlac has made a well woman of me
after | had suffered for fifteen years and
had gotten to the point where | didn't be-
lieve | could possibly live much longer
was the remarkable statement made a few
days ago by Mrs. Lottie Swofford, wife
Of III. ii. Swofford, the popular salesman
for the Jewel Tea Company, and living al
the st. Charles Hotel. Galveston. Texas.
Eyes, it's true" continued Mrs. Swof-
ford. Il have gained seventeen pounds on
Tanlac and ! am stronger and feel better
than ! nave since | can remember. Ever
since | was a child | have suffered terri
bly, with catarrh of the stomach and ]
don't believe anybody could nave been in a
worse condition than ] was for the past
few years. | suffered constantlyewith the
most awful pains in my stomach and nearly
all over my body and | had such terrible
headaches that sometimes ] almost went
distracted.
My food soured IN my stomach and
formed gas that would get around my
heart and smother me so | could hardly
breathe and my heart would flutter and
palpitate until | almost thought il would
jump out. ] got to where ] didn't hardly
eat enough to keep a bird alive, but even
that little would COM right back up in
my throat undigested and at last my
stomach got into such a condition that il
wouldn't even retain raw eggs and ! had
10 live on beef tea alone.
al was 80 weak that ! couldn't walk
across the room and when ! tried to walk |
would get 50 dizzy | would fall, and would
have to be lifted around from place to
place. ! was as nervous as / could be and
the slightest sound would make me jump
and tremble all over. and ! gradually went
down in weight until ! only weighed eighty
five pounds. ! was an absolute wreck and
didn't see how / could possibly ever get
we'll. ! tried everything | could find but
| didn't get one bit of relief and goodness
only knows where | would be now if it
hadn't been for Tanlac.
IL began taking this medicine a. a sort
of last resort and | couldn't tell Mt first
whether IT was doing me any good or not,
but | stuck to Tanlac determined 10 give
il q thorough trial. Well, sir, when | was
on my fourth bottle | began to notice an
improvement and from that time on | kept
getting better and now, after taking eight
bottles, | feel "a well az | ever felt in my
life. | never dreamed or dared to hope
that | would feel a. well as | do now and
! can't begin to tell YOU how grateful | am.
"All my troubles are gone and my nerves
are as steady a IRON. | eat just any
thing | want and nothing gives Inc a min
ute's trouble and ! now weigh one hundred
and two pounds. | sleep splendidly and
feel strong and full of energy all the time.
Why lis no effort at all for me to walk
from here to the beach and back and that's
a distance of two miles, and ! feel 80 fine
! just can't help telling everybody ! meet
about Tanlac. My husband thinks it the
greatest medicine that was ever made and
ne tells all his customers how it brought
hack my health when nothing elese would
wen help me. | am glad TO give this
statement and | hope that lots of other
