FARMER DIDN'T WORK
For Fifteen Years, Troubles Had
the Best of Him.
Tanlac Restores Health-WOrks
Every Day Now.

81 came about twelve miles to get
this Tanlac, and while 1 am here 1
just want to tell you that since my
troubles began thirty years ago, Tan
lac is the only medicine that has done
me any good at all" said Albert
Ernst, a well known and prosperous
farmer who lives at Dunlap, Ill.
Il hadn't put in a days work in
fifteen years when 1 commenced TAX
ing Tanlac," he continued. land it
had been so long since 1 was able to
sit down and eat a square meal with
out suffering agonies afterwards, that
1 couldn't remember it. 1 had rheu-
matism in my legs SO bad that it just
looked like the pains would kill me
at times, and many times 1 have suf-
fered so at night that 1 couldn't sleep
a wink, and when 1 got up in the
morning the leaders and muscles
would be so drawn and sore that
would have to rub my legs for long
time before 1 could stretch them out.
also suffered terrible on account of
the condition of my stomach, and 1
had to live on the very lightest kind
Of food, and even that would sour
shortly after meals and 1 would be
SO badly bloated up with gas that
would be perfectly miserable for
hours. 1 would often have such ter
rible cramping pains in the pit of my
stomach that I would almost bend
double, and finally got to where 1t
was a hard matter for me to retain
anything I ate. All these troubles
were regular, To-day in and day out
for thirty years, and they just final
ly got the best of me all around.
II commenced taking Tanlac a
month or so ago, and 1 began to i'm
prove pretty soon after that, and
have been constantly getting better
ever since. 1 have taken seven bot
tie so far, and I just couldn't ask for
better health than 1 now have in
every way. Why, if you could see
me at work on my farm now, you
wouldn't think I had ever been sick
day in my life, and 1 work hard
every day, too. 1 have a dandy ap-
petite. and since I have gotten rid of
my stomach troubles, 1 eat Just any
thing 1 want, and 1 never have indi-
gestion afterwards, and am not both
cred with gas any more. All that
rheumatism has left me, and the sore
ness and stiffness has gone from my
legs, and I can get around as well
as 1 ever did in my life. Tanlac has
just made a sound, we'll man of me in
every way. and never have the
slightest sign of any of my old trou-
bles. I would advise anybody who
suffers as I did. to give Tanlac a trial.
for it is the best medicine 1 ever took
in my life"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tul1y-
Mcfarland Drug Co.-Adv.
