PORTLAND WOMAN
GAVE Up ALL HOPE
FOR her RECOVERY
Never Expected to Get
Out of Bed Again-i'an-
lac Overcomes Trouble.

Il don't believe l would ever
get tired telling about the good
Tanlac has done me-" said Mrs. L.
7. Ruffner who resides at SAC
East Oak ST., Portland, Oregon,
recently.
Il feel that l have much to be
thankful for" continued Mrs.
Ruffner. "When | first began
taking Tanlac | was down in bed,
and had no hopes of ever getting
up again. Ten years of suffering
from stomach trouble, loss of ap-
petite and indigestion had brot
me down in weight from one hun
dred and seventy-five pounds to
where I was scarcely more than a
| frame. I simply had to force my
self to eat, but my food would
always sour, causing gas. swell
ing and awful pains running clean
thru to my back. My stomach
was swollen so badly all the time
that | had to wear a support, and
my nerves were so shattered that
| thot / would go distracted.
was hysterical at times, and for
several years never knew what it
was to get a good nights sleep.
The back of my head and neck
hurt me dreadfully at times and
L had a peculiar creepy sensation
up and down my spine.
81 was almost helpless for four
years, and spent more than half
my time in bed. My condition be-
came so alarming at one time that
my children were all called home
to be with me.
I'VE had spent hundreds, yes,
thousands of dollars for treat
ment and medicines, but my case
seemed to puzzle everyone, and
as nothing seemed to do me much
IL any good I often felt that
would just as soon be dead as to
be in so much misery.
"But to get back to Tanlac. We
came here q few weeks ago from
Nampa. Idaho, and first read of
it in the Boise papers. AS I said
before, I was down in bed, so
when | asked my husband to get
me a bottle of Tanlac, he said
1t was just another OF those adj
vertised fakes and that I would
find there was nothing to it, but
finally he sent down and got me
two bottles of 1t. Well, when
after taking my first bottle |
couldn't see much, II any, i'm
provement, he said right away, L
told you So But, I stuck to Tan
lac and when finished the Sec
ond bottle I noticed a big differ
ence in my appetite.
"Then I began to get stronger
and improve rapidly. Soon I got
on my feet and then of course, we
had to change our minds about
Tanlac. I have taken seven bot
ties now and am feeling Just like
a different woman. All that
awful swelling and distress has
disappeared from my stomach and
I simply eat like a pig. Nothing
hurts me and while I haven't
weighed I can tell from the way
my clothes fit that I have gained
several pounds, and 1 am still
gaining, both in weight and
strength right along. My nerves
are so much better that simply
sleep like log. I get up every
morning now at 5 o'clock, get my
husbands breakfast and then &c
back to bed and take another nap
Tanlac is the only thing that has
ever helped me and I will gladly
tell anyone what 1t has done and
Is still doing for me. feel II my
duty to do 50 for the sake OF 9TH
ers who need It."
