EVERYBODY
Can Now See Big Change in
This Man.
SnOddy Had Been Going Down
Hill a Year.

Hardly a day passes" said Thomas
Snoddy, while in the Owl Drug store,
recently, but what some friend OF
mine says Why, Tom, the la time l
saw you, you were down and out, but
now you are looking fine. What are
you doing for yourself?' And l Just
tell them that Tanlac is making a new
man of me-" Mr. Snoddy lives at
1907 East Lynn, Kansas City, Mo, and
is employed as car repairer in the
yards of the Kansas City Southern
railroad.
~ never thought, he continued,
'rhat l would let my name be used in
connection with a medicine, but
will have to make an exception of
Tanlac. / certainly think it's the fin
est thing &c ing and l can't praise it
too highly for what it has done for
me. For about a year now, that is
until l began taking Tanlac, L have
been bothered by my stomach and
Kidneys, and kept getting worse in
spite of all / could do. Ny appetite
was very poor; 1 couldn't eat anything
without suffering terribly from indl-
gestion. My food seemed to lodge in
the pit of my stomach like lump of
lead. 1 would bloat up terribly from
the gas and would almost double over
at times with pain. What little l did
eat seemed to do me no good, and
sometimes 1 was in such awful mis-
cry that 1 couldn't sit down, lie down
o. stand still but would just have to
walk around and try to get rid of the
pain. MY kidneys were all out of or
der and there was a dull, mean pain
right in the small of my back all the
time. was also badly constipated and
it would be impossible for me to tell
Just how much L have suffered.
Finally 1 got in such a bad fix 1
had to quit work and when 1 began
taking Tanla: had been off for twen-
ty-two days. Well, Tanlac simply
worked like a charm with me and
had not been taking it more than a
week until 1 was back at work. 1 am
working every day now and am still
improving right along. My appetite is
just fine now and 1 am never troubled
with gas. pain or any other signs of
Indigestion. My kidneys are in good
shape, too, and all the pain and stiff
ness has disappeared from my back.
/ have been entirely relieved of con-
stipation, too, and, in fact, l am just
like a new man, and anyone who knew
what a bad fix L was in can readily
see the change Tanlac has made in
me-"
