in the medical world. 1t is well
known fact that these splendid in
dorsements have been given Tanlac

continue to be given just as often as
new tests of its powers are made; and
it also exnlains why numbers of the
big drug firms of the country are or

had derived from Tanlac Mr.. Evans
said
For years | suffered with gastritis
and indigestion in the worst form. |
was habitually constipated and had
pains in my shoulders and headache
continually. My appetite left me al
most entirely and everything | would
eat hurt me. Finally | got to having
awful attacks of acute indigestion, pal
ptation of the heart and smothering
spells. For long time I would have
one or more of these spells every
night and | would wake out of my
restless sleep gasping for breath.
Il bought bottle of Tanlac, and to
my surprise and qualification I began
to feel relief after the first few doses,
| kept taking the medicine and now
| weigh more than | ever did in my
life. Ny recovery is simply the tall;
