getting worse until my husband
brought me a bottle of Tanlac,
and ever since I began taking it
l have been on the road to re-
covery. l have taken two bottles
now and there's all the difference
in the world in my feelings. My
appetite is good, sleep splen-
didly and am not troubled any
more with the pains in my back
and sides. l have gained sew
eral pounds in weight already
and am gaining strength all the
time. My tired, WORKOUT feel
ings are gone and I'm brimful of
life and energy all the time. My
husband is now taking Tanlac be-
cause of what 1t has done for
me and says 1t is helping him
fine. l praise 1t to all my friends

the praise that can be given It.

Ludendorff left the choice OF
