STATION AGENT
FORCED TO QUIT
"ALL THE BOYS AT THIS END OF
THE LINE TALKING ABOUT MY
RECOVERY" HE SAYS.

When the boys come by and see
me back on the job looking like my
| old self they always boiler at me to
| know what has brought about the
wonderful change. and l always
shout back, 'Tanlac,'" said A E
Rawley, the popular telegraph oper-
ator at WeIsford Station on the Can
adam Pacific railroad and living at
Westfeld Beach, New Brunswick, in
relating his remarkable experience
with the medicine. recently.
MY recovery has not only sur
prised me-" continued Mr.. Rawley,
but all the boys on this end of the
line are talking about it. Pulling
through what l have suffered back
into health and strength seems more
like the work of a miracle than of
medicine, for l had despaired of liv-
ingmuch longer.
MY health suddenly gave way
four years ago, following a severe at
tack of grippe, which settled in nv
stomach. My food would sour, caus-
ing gas and such pressure through
my chest that l could scarcely
breathe. Sharp pains would sud
denly strike me in the chest, keep
ing me in agony for hours. and at
night l would have to get up and
walk the floor to keep from smother
ing. One day about a year after my
trouble started, l began vomiting and
kept it up almost necessarily for four
days, and | thought sure my life
would end there. / had to be car
ried to a hospital for treatment,
after which l felt in fair condition
for few weeks, and then another
attack came on me with great pains
in my stomach and intestines which
would last for hours.
AT first these spells came about
once month, then twice a month,
and then every week and got me
downto where l just couldn't work
at all. In fact, lost fifty pounds in
weight and had to give up my posi-
ton as station agent and do nothing
but try to find relief. Then | went
to another hospital for treatment.
thenanother, making three in all. and
tried every medicine l knew of or
that was suggested to me, but kept
getting worse. | had no idea could
live much longer, and of course, had
little hope of ever getting any better.
my case was like that OF the
drowning man, reaching out for a.
straw = desperate - and although II
had no faith in Tanlac to help me.
when l saw it advertised / grabbed at
it as my last resort. l had tried
three hospitals and everything in the
way of medicines, so l couldn't have
much faith in Tanlac, but, it's a fact.
before my first bottle was gone /
noticed difference in my feelings.
II was not long then until the gas
stopped forming on my stomach, 1
had a good appetite, and could eat
most anything without it hurting me.
Now, to put it all in as few words as
possible, | have taken eight bottles
of Tanlac, and am not only feeling
fine, but l have gotten back twenty
pounds of my lost weight l am
now working regularly every day and
am still picking up both in weight
and strength right along l attri-
butte my recovery to nothing but Tan
lac. To me it is the most wonderful
medicine in the world, and | will
praise it as long as l live
