4 WOULD have
SAVED $4,000"
Charles Norwood Regrets He Did
Not Know of TanIac Is
Years Ago.

Just ask the boys at the c. &
A. rOundhouse, where l work: they
all know what an AWFUL fix l was
in and can tell you that this Tan
lac has made a new man OF me, ="
was the statement made by Charles
Norwood of 1413 West Olive street,
Bloomington, ILL.,, while discussing
the medicine recently.
Il can easily figure out" he con-
tinued, where if l had had TanIac
Is years ago it would have saved
me right around one thousand dol
lars a year, which is a pretty snug
little fortune. The way I figure is
this: For the last Is years I
haven't been able to work more
than half the time. at best. When
1 did work my earning capacity
was cut on account of my poor
health and for a good many years
l couldn't work at all. But if l
had been as well and strong as |
am since taking Tanlac l could
have earned twice as much pay to
say nothing of the amount of mon
ey l paid out trying to get rid OF
my terrible pain and suffering
For long time my stomach never
felt right and everything l would
eat disagreed with me. causing a
bloated, nauseated feeling after
meals. This trouble kept getting
worse until just broke down com
pletely and had to stop trying to
work. My stomach got in such a
bad fix that I had to live on the
very Hghtest foods l could find,
and even then 1 suffered. l had
sick headaches about every day and
was so weak / just had to drag
around. My stomach not only kept
getting worse. but my kidneys f.
nally got all out of order and
almost went distracted with pain
and misery. My back hurt me so
bad I could hardly move or turn
over in bed. For a long time be-
fore 1 quit my Job it took me some
time every morning to get out of
bed, the pain ins my back was so
great, and then l would have to
go all bent over.
Il got to reading the statements
about Tanlac and some of the tes-
described my case so well
that l commenced taking il myself,
and Oh. how l wish l could have
found such a medicine years ago.
I am just so thankful that l am at
last out of my misery that ( feel
like l would be doing wrong not to
tell everybody I can about Tanlac. |
I can sit down to the table now
and eat as much as I ever could in !
my life and never suffer the least !
bit afterwards. My headaches are !
gone entirely and my kidneys and |
back never bother me any more |
and I sleep like a child every night. |
In fact, my troubles are all gone, /
and not only that, I am feeling
stronger and better than l have in
almost twenty years. haven
missed a DAYS work now since 2
finished my fifth bottle of TanIac
nearly three months ago. I am
now q perfectly well man and will
always praise Tanlac" (
