they repeated their previous performance
OF selling early in the day and covering

trader, who has been bearfsh, attributed
the strength and advance to a broader
trade, others inclined to belief that the

person." said Mrs. Rilla Walton, who
resides a 466 North Montgall avenue,
Kansas City, Mo. to a Tanlac repre-
sentative recently. Continuing, she
said:
II suffered with lumbago and rheu-
matism something dreadful. I had the
worst sort of pains in my spine and
across the small of my back. 1 had
such pains in my right elbow I could
not use my arm. and also had rheu-
matism in my hips so 1 could barely
walk. I was in such a bad condition
I could not turn over in bed without
assistance and was unable to do my
housework. My nerves were COM
pletely shattered and it was nearly i'm
possible for me to get any sleep.
My mother had been greatly bene-
fitted by taking Tanfac and advised
nc to try it. I took her advice, and
had not taken a bottle of it before 1
began to get better. The pains in my
back stopped entirely and my appe-

have those pains in my spinal column
any more, and the rheumatism in my
arm and hips is about all gone. 1 do
all my own housework and sleep sim
