POUNDS TAKING TANLAC-
TROUBLES ENDED.

"My old time energy, with twenty |
pounds Of my lost weight, have been
returned to me by the use of Tanlac,"
said {. +. cambridge, the well
known contracting painter, decOra-
tor and wall paper man of 80 East
Eleventh street, Portland, in an in
tervieW, recently.
Just about year ago." said Mr..
cambridge, in describing his case, 81
lost my appetite and soon got to
where nothing ! would eat agreed
with me. Ny food would lay in my
stomach and ferment, bloat me up as
tght as a drum and cause me to
suffer agony. Of course | had to
i've on a very light diet and, not be-
ing able to get the proper nourish-
ment, | lost weight and strength con-
o,nually. | dropped down from one
hundred and siXty-fve younds to one
hundred and thirty-two, losing thir-
ty-three pounds in just a few months.
| finally got so weak and rundown
| bad to give up my work and was
laid up for more than five weeks.
Then | began suffering with rheuma-
tism all oVe~ which was especially
bad in my right arm. The muscles
in this arm would become so drawn
and painful that | could not get my
hand TO my head. My back also hurt
me all the time, | was habitually
constipated and had sucn terrific
/ headaches that | could hardly see. l
was so nervous the least noise would
upset me and ! have gone through
many night never closing my eyes
/ for sleep. My strength ana energy
/ had Just about all left me and my
! condition had become alarming to me.
/ In fact, | had become discouraged, as
/ had taken so much medicine with
out getting any relief.
FINALLY a friend OF mine, knowing
/ the fix | was in, advised me to try
/ Ianiac, saying his wife had been in
. the same condition ana that six bot
ties of Tanlac restored her entirely.
So, after he told me this, | lost very
little time in getting me some Tan
lac, and, believe me, it has done the
work After taking the first bottle
l was SIMPLY eating Ike a bear and
have been eating just anything |
want since that time, with no signs
Of bloating or any other discomfort
afterwards. | have just finished my
fourth bottle now and the rheuma-
tism is gone, too. With the aid of
Tanlac Tablets, l have been relieved
Of constipation and it's a fact,
haven't had headache since | be-
gan taking Tanlac | simply sleer
Ike a iog every night and can do q
. full day's work and still feel fresh
: and fine at night Ny wife also suf.
, feIed from indigestion and she has
. eotten entirely rid of it by using
, Tanlac. / tell you it's great and peo
pie with stomach trouble and rheu
natiam will do well to take it."
