my stomach. For two or three
hours after meals my food would

My appetite came back and |

fifth bottle and | can truthfully
say that | have never had better
health in my life. 1t is simply
fine to be able to sit down and
eat just anything that my appe-
tite calls for after suffering as
long as | did. My nerves are in.
fine condition now, and sleep
like a baby every night, and ali
my neighbors are asking me the
same question, What in the
world have you been taking to
cause this improvement in your
health?' And it just does my
heart good to tell them that Tan
lac is entirely responsible for it.
