REV. MANION
Kansas Minister Praises, TanlaC
Highly.
Says It Enabled Him to Take Up
His Work Again.

One of the features that distin-
cuisines Tanlac from all other proprie-
tary medicines is the large number OF
people prominent in business and pro-
fessional life, including many minis
tiers of the Gospel who everywhere
are giving it their unqualified endorse
ment Among the statements jU-t re-
ceived at the Tanlac office is one in
particular that is bound to arouse
much interest in this community, hay
ing been made by the Rev. w. A. Man
ion, the well known pastor of the
United Brethren church at Rossville,
a few miles out from Topeka Mr..
Manion, who has been in the ministry
for seventeen years, in relating the
other day his experience with Tanlac
said:
"Tanlac certainly made it possible
for me to take up my work again,
and feel very grateful for the good
it has done me. For several months
last year 1 suffered terribly from a
severe case of stomach trouble, which
Became so bad that for several weeks
I was unable to go on with my WORK.
In fact, from March to october, last
year 1 was dreadfully rundown and
last considerable weight. Most every
thing 1 would eat fermented in my
stomach and 1 was constantly belching
I'D gas and particles of undigested food
that left a very disagreeable taste in
my mouth. In fact, l could hardly
eat a thing that did not give me thou
BILE, and I suffered from such awful
pains in my back and sides that I
could hardly stand it. 1 was SO nerv-
Gus that it was almost impossible for
me to sleep, and altho 1 consulted a
specialist he did not relieve my trou-
BILE.
After reading so much about the
good effects Tanlac was having on
others, I bought a bottle and felt it
was helping me soon after I began
taking it, After finishing my first
bottle felt SO much better that I was
able to resume my work, and I kept
on improving with every bottle of the
medicine 1 took afterwards. My stom-
ach has been toned up so that I can
eat anything without having trouble
with gas or indigestion afterwards,
and 1 enjoy all my meals. My nerves
are calm and quiet, I sleep all night
like child and those awful pains 1
suffered from in my back and sides
are entirely gone and never trouble me
at all. am in very good shape now
and it was nothing but Tanlac that
fixed me up so fine"
