Peoria Woman Could Shout
For Joy Since Her Recov-
cry By Taking Tanlac.

"I Just feel like shouting for JOY
I feel so happy, and ! simply have
to tell everybody I meet what Tan
lac has done for me-" was the state
ment made to a Tanlac representa-
tive recently by Mrs. W. Knebell,
who lives at 619 Matthew street,
Peoria, Ill.
"Just to think, only a short ago
I was such a perfect wreck that !
saw no hope Of enjoyment in life
she continued, "and today ! haven't
a trouble of any kind, feel better
than I have in 20 years and am
simply overjoyed at my recovery.
All my friends and neighbors say it
is simply marvellous the way Tanlac
has restored me to health, and l
can hardly realize myself the Won
derful change that has come over
me.
ever since I was a girl ! have
never been strong and healthy, and
as time passed, new troubles set in
and my nervous condition became
worse. It seemed that every bite
/ ate hurt me and ! would have
severe cramps and gas formed so
bad that it pressed up around my
heart and into my throat until /
had to fight to get my breath. My
kidneys were in bad condition and
caused me to have the backache so
bad I thought it would drive me
crazy. The pain was SO great that
if I tried to stoop over my back felt
like it would break in two, and even
the weight of my clothes hurt me
so bad / had to have them all made
together so the weight was all on
my shoulders. I had awful fainty,
dizzy spells, and if started to
sweep the floor or cook a meal, l
would become so weak and dizzy l
would give completely out and have
to stop and lie down. l was in such
a dreadful nervous condition that
/ could never get any sleep at night,
and many time was so restless
I would have to get up and walk
the floor. This had been my con-
dition for the past 20 years, not
one day in seven, but every day;
why, I was in misery all the time
and could never get any pleasure
out of life.
''When you go this way year in
and year out and then find a medi-
cine like Tanlac, it is enough to
make person happy; it just seems
too good to be true that / can be
in such fine health since / have
taken Tanlac. My appetite couldn't
be better, and while i eat three
good meals every day, everything
agrees with me and am not trou-
bled in any way with indigestion.
My kidneys don't bother me any
more, and the pain in my back has
completely disappeared and l am
able to stoop over without any
trouble. Dizzy spells never come
on me and my nerves are so steady
that I can sleep as sound as child
all night long. / am built up in
every way and feel so much strong
err that l can do all my homework
and never get tired one bit. / am
so happy that / can hardly contain
myself, and as long as / live / can
never praise Tanlac enough"
