ORA PETREE WAS
ON THE VERGE OF
GIVING UP JOB
After II Years of Suffering
He Was in Despair-Tan-
lac Ends Troubles.

"A medicine that will play such
a remarkable part in ones life as
Tanlac has in mine certainly de-
serves the highest praise" said Ora
E. Petree Of 4335 Kenman avenue,
Chicago, in a conversation with
friends at the Custer Hotel in
Galcsburg, recently. Mr.. Petree,
who was for fourteen years sales
man and district manager Of Swift
& Company, resigned his position
with this Company March first, this
year, and has since gone into busi-
ness for himself. ....y,. :.

he continued, "that I began having
Indigestion and the trouble soon got

agree with me and I lost weight
and strength rapidly. Gas would
form on my stomach after eating
and keep me in misery for hours.
I would often bloat badly and at
these times my heart would pal

me. During these attacks ! would

neither eat nor sleep but little, had
no energy, and it just seemed that
my whole life had been changed
completely around. Away back
there when l was still on the road
selling goods, l can recall how !
would give out so easily and my
grips felt three times heavier than
before. I could not approach a
customer with my old time de-
termination and confidence. In
other words didn't have that old
time fight in me, which is so
necessary in business, any more. l
felt 80 miserable that / could. hard

or said was an effort. During my
fourteen years as salesman and
manager I always took particular
notice Of the results Of my efforts
and was not at all surprised when
found my business had fallen off
twenty per cent for the year.
'My health had been so poor and

rapidly losing ground. Realizing
this I determined to stay with the
specialists and get relief if pos
sible, but this hope was never, in
any degree, realized. On the 9TH

and had about made up my mind
to resign my position and 60 to
some distant land in search Of re-
lief and health. By this time my
suffering was not only terrible, but
almost continuous. One day I was
speaking with q friend Of mine
about my condition and incidentally
spoke Of my intentions Of giving
up my position, and he insisted on
me trying Tanlac. How an adver-
tised medicine could help me when
the most skilled treatment had
failed was more than I could I'M
derstand, but my friend being a
responsible man and high up in the
world, I considered his judgment
excellent, 50 ! bought . bottle of
Tanlac and started on it ut once.
Well, the results I have gotten from
this medicine have been absolutely
amazing, not only to me, but also
to the company, and even more SO
to my wife and friends who were
best acquainted with my condition.
at once began to sleep soundly,
my appetite soon returned and
noticed the pains leaving my stom-
ach. / was not only completely
restored to health, but my business
picked up more than thirty per cent,
J which shows what a man loses
dragging around trying to work
when he's not able. / want to
advise every brother salesman to
try Tanlac when they have any rea-
son whatever to use any kind of
medicine. It can be depended op
for results" y
