Ora Petree Was On Verge of
Despair.
Suffered II Years-Tanlac Ends
Troubles.

"A medicine that will play such
remarka BILE part in ones life as Tanlac
has in mine certainly deserves the
highest praise" said Ora z. Petree, of
4535 Keenman avenue, Chicago, in
conversation with friends at the GUS
ter Hotel in Galesburg. recently. Mr..
Petree, who was for fourteen years
salesman and district manager for
Swift & Company, resigned his posi-
ton with this Company March first,
this year. and has since gone into bust
ness for himself.
at was over twelve years ago" he
continued. that 1 began having in
digestion and the trouble soon got to
be serious. Nothing seemed TO agree
with me. and I lost weight and
strength rapidly. Gas would form on
my stomach after eating and keep me
in misery for hours. l would often
bloat badly, and at these times my
heart would palpitate SO that it greatly
alarmed me. During these attacks I
would become so dizzy that had to be
careful to keep from falling. 1 was
failing so fast that 1 took the matter
up with the best specialists we have in
Chicago and was advised that 1 was
suffering from nervous indigestion
and catarrh of the stomach / got so
I could neither eat nor sleep but lit
tie, had no energy. and 1t Just seemed
that my whole life had been changed
completely around. Away back there
when I was still on the road selling
goods, can recall how 1 would give
out so easily and my grips felt three
times heavier then before. I could
not approach a customer with my old
time determination and confidence.
In other words I didn't have that old
time fight in me, which is so neces-
misera BILE that 1 could hardly get
around and everything I did or said
was an effort During my fourteen
years as salesman and manager al
suits of my efforts and was not at
all surprised when I found my bust
ness had fallen off twenty per cent
for the year.
MY health had been so poor and
suffered so terribly that it reflected
on my business and I was rapidly los
ing ground. Realizing this I deter
mined to stay with the specialists and
get relief if possible, but this hope
was never, in any degree, realized. On
the other hand I gradually became
worse and had about made up my
! mind to resign my position and go to
some distant land in search of relief
and health. By this time my suf-
fering was not only terrible, but al
most continuous. One day 1 was
speaking with friend of mine about
my condition and incidentally spoke
| of my intentions of giving up my posi-
ton, and he insisted on me trying
Tanlac. How an advertised medicine
could help me when the most skilled
treatment had failed was more than
I could understand, but my friend
being a responsible man and high up
in the world, I considered his judg-
ment excellent, so 1 bought a bottle of
| Tanlac and started on it at once.
Well, the results I have gotten from
| this medicine have been absolutely
| amazing, not only to me. but also to
| the company, and even more so to my
| wife and friends who were best &C
quainted with my condition. I at
once began to sleep soundly, my ap-
petite soon returned and I noticed the
pains leaving my stomach. I was not
| only completely restored to health.
but my business picked up more than
thirty per cent, which shows what
man loses dragging around trying
to work when he's not able. I want
to advise every brother salesman to
| try Tanlac when they have any rea-
son whatever to use any kind of medi-
cine. 1t can be depended on for re-
