cramps in my stomach that
would break out with cold sweat
and just double up with pain.
would come in from the field with
an empty, gnawtng feeling in my
burn like fire. But 1 didn't
have that hungry feeling any
more and this was new to me
for / had always been counted
g5out the biggest eater in my
notice me not eating and COM
u
wanting to know what in the world
had come over Magness. Well, 1
kept getting worse and by the time
that summers work was done
was about done, too. 1 couldn't
eat anything but what caused me
misery and lots of it Gas would
form and bloat me up until I was
scared to lie down, for when 1 did
my breath would just stop.
couldn't eat much of anything and
even then / would puff around and
suffer agony for two hours. 4 had
dizzy spells SO bad I would have
to grab hold of something to keep
from falling. After I commenced
to have these spells I was always
afraid to go about the horses in tho
barn, as was liable to fall under
their feet and it worried my wife
so, too.
well, I wasn't able to do any
more work all that fall and win

medicine and tried to get myself
in shape. When spring came l
thought 1 was better and went out

left me. Ny stomach got in worse
shape than it had ever been and I

get any help. Why, even water

milk and soup. mostly, and dropped
right down to where I scarcely
weighed a hundred pounds. / suf-

nights were as miserable as days
and would rather have been dead
than in such agony. was too neT-
vous and racked with pain to sleep
and was simply a physical wreck.
I had tried everything and was so
discouraged and out Of heart that
I had decided never to try again.
But I heard a fellow down at
GIasford how he had gotten rid of
stomach trouble by taking Tanlac.
So I went right IN, while the no
ton was on me, and bought a
bottle and that was when the long
lane turned for me. / had not In
ished the first bottle until I COM
menced TO want to eat for the first
time since I lost my appetite away

it. and when it didn't hurt me l
Yas the proudest fellow you ever
saw. 1 kept right on with Tan |
