FOREMAN SAYS IT
SAVED HIS LIFE
Mahoney Never Expected to Get Out
OF Bed, A9a!n--Now Back
at Work.

Many wonderful endorsements have
been given Tanlac, but the statement
made October 9 by James Mahoney,
of % East Fifteenth ST., Los Angeles,
Cal, is SO remarkable as to be almost
incredible.
Mr.. Mahoney, however, is man
Of unquestioned integrity and has
been foreman at the Richards Maui
stadt Construction Co. ten years. His
neighbors have coroborated his re-
markabfe statement in every detail
and will do so again If called upon.
1T was being talked among my
friends said Mr.. Mahoney, that l
was going to die, and don't believe
anyone ever had much closer call.
Closely following an injury to my
back, caused by lifting some steel
last July q year ago, my whole sys-
tenn seemed to give way. My stom-
ach commenced hurting me terribly
and suffered from gas and indiges-
tion. There seemed to be a lump in
my stomach and l could not eat a
thing without intense pain after
wards. My appetite left me entirely
and got so weak / could not even
lift ten pounds. Then | became con-
stipated and my kidneys got out of
order and disturbed me so at night
could not sleep sound. | was in mis-
cry all the time and so weak l could
not lift my feet to 60 UP the steps.
! could not straighten up for the pain
in my stomach. Before these trou-
bles started l weighed one hundred
and forty-five pounds, but dropped
down until / weighed only sixty-five
pounds, and if there was ever a living
skeleton l was. / could hear my
friends, who came to see me, say,
Poor Jim, he can't last much longer
and l had no hope myself Of ever
getting up. In spite of all that could
be done kept getting worse. That
lump-like feeling in my stomach
seemed to get larger and the pain
ing more could be done except to OPP
crate, and l was too weak to stand
that.
"One day friend, who had been
coming to see me often, told me how
Tanlac had helped his daughter, and
urged me to try it. At first / refused,
as my wife was opposed to anything
except prescribed medicines. But
one day this friend offered to go and
get me a bottle of Tanlac with the
understanding that no one else know
anything about it. Well, / started
taking it, and by the time he brought
me the third bottle 1 was feeling bet
ter. / stopped everything else, kept
taking Tanlac and slowly improving.
soon noticed the pain in my stom-
ach easing up and that lumpy feeling
began to leave. / got to eating some
thing and then commenced getting
back my lost weight and strength. Il
kept taking it until | used twenty
bottles, and as result l am in better
shape than l was for years-even be-
fore | was taken sick. | now weigh
one hundred and thirty pounds, so
you see my weight has exactly
doubled l am working every day
and can do the heavy lifting just the
same as | ever could. / am not both
cred any more with my kidneys or
and sleep like top
every night. My food tastes good and
my appetite is simply fine. My wife
now thinks just as l do, that Tanlac
is the grandest medicine in the world. |
l Will praise it as long as | live, and
| never expect to be without it"
