 Three years ago." she continued, 'I lost my health. had stomach trouble of the worst kind and just seemed to go into a slow decline. I lost my strength. never knew what it was to get a good nights rest and was simply nervous wreck. I suffered also from biliousness and constipation and was never free from pain. ] was taken to the hospital to be operated on and when I went home afterwards I weighed only 66 pounds and was so weak it looked like I would never re- cover.
 After trying everything else that was recommended to me without get ting any better I decided to see if Tan lac would help me any. While on my secondS bottle my appetite picked up and began to improve. I kept on with Tanlac and soon was able to eat whatever l wanted without having any unpleasantness afterwards My nerves became settled so I could sleep at night and my weight increased 33 pounds. I am now doing all my own housework and nothing seems to hurt me at all. When I went on a recent visit to my old home I had improved so much my own sisters hardly knew me. l believe I owe my life to Tanlac and never expect to be without bot tie in the house.
