At AGE OF 70
WOMAN MAKES
25 POUND GAIN
Mrs. Rollins feels better
than in twenty years
after taking Tanlac.

Il am seventy years old. and have
been in poor health for a good many
years, but since taking Tanlac I feel
better in every way than I have for
twenty years, and have actually
gained twenty five pounds in weight
said Mrs. N. B. Rollins. who lives at
10 West 39th street, Seattle, the

Then / heard about Tanlac and
the good it was doing so many peo-

make one more effort to get well, and
asked him TO get me a bottle. Well,
to make a long story short. I am per

twenty years younger, and am so wei
and strong now that / can get around

The rheumatism has left me entirely,

Dear Sir: This April morn came in,
no cloud in the sky, and Old Sol is
beaming down in regular summer
style. Fine, / think, will explain the
day. Birds have begun to look spry
and hop from bush to tree, grass is
coming and buds are swelling, and
these old Clod Hoppers are hurrying
around getting ready to farm in the
old way with their rude implements
and oxen. Slow but sure, | suppose.
Some have one horse, very few have
more. Not all are so fortunate as to
have an OK or horse.
Short On Live Stock.
These old dodgers are pretty hard

So far haven't seen hog, only two
or three milk cows l never heard a

goats and some rabbits. Chickens are
scarce, have seen a couple of eggs.

They can't hardly grasp the idea
that they were licked. Seemed to

coop on them. For some reason
these people seem to date Bill an ex-
Crown Prince and all the boys that
