MRS. BURR, AGE 79
GAINS IT POUNDS
TAKING TANLAC
Illinois Woman Suffere.
Thirty Years - Her
Health Restored.


seven pounds by taking Tanlac and
while l am now past seventy-nine
years of age / declare / don't feel
that old by forty years" was the re
markable statement made by Mrs.
Mary E. Burr of Bradford, Illinois
r. F. D. No. l, recently.
Mrs. Burr relates some very try
ing experiences of Civil War days
one of which was the loss of her
| first husband, who was killed in thu
great conflict. At the close of the
war she moved to Illinois with her
parents, in an "old covered wagon, "
and remained a widow until Novem-
Der of last year when she was hap
ply married again, becoming the
wife of a prosperous farmer Of
Bradford.
"Those Civil War days certainly
were dark ones" said Mrs. Burr,
"and if / should live to be twice as
old as l am now | could never for
get the terrible suffering and sorrow
so many had to go through. feel
sure the nervous strain and hard
ships that came to me was what
caused my health to break down
later on. But while l have seen the
dark and bitter side of life / have
also enjoyed the greater part of it.
| [ had always been blessed with fairly
good health until about thirty years
ago, when all of a sudden l just
seemed to collapse almost complete
ly. This was about the hardest trial
of my life, as / had always been in
the habit of getting out doors, rails
ing chickens, gathering fruit and
doing lots of outdoor work.
II commenced first to be bothered
with my stomach. Every little bit !
ate would sour and form sort of
gas which caused me the most awful
suffering. This gas would press
against my heart and / would be so
short of breath for hours that /
could not walk. If / even tried to
walk Iwould get so dizzy, weak and
trembly that / would lose my bal
ance. My nerves got in such bad
shape that / could hardly sleep and
would just roll and toss all night
long. / just couldn't stand bit of
noise. Just the chickens cackling
would almost drive me distracted.
l had no appetite and what little l
did eat caused me so much pain
that l would almost die. l kept 60
ing down until 1 was almost a COM
plete wreck. / had lost so much in
weight that none of my clothes fit
ted me and / was so weak that /
could hardly walk across the room,
let alone do my work.
II tried most everything, but
nothing helped me and l had given
up nearly all hpoe of ever being
we'll again. While was on the
lookout trying to find something to
help me a friend of mine who had
taken Tanlac with wonderful results
advised me to try it. I started on
Tanlac and the way it helped me
right from the start was almost like
a miracle. I have taken twelve bot
ties now and have not only been re-
lieved entirely of all my sufferings
but I am enjoying better health than
I have in thirty years. My meals
taste as good to me as they did years
ago. I can eat just anything with
out the slightest trouble afterwards
and I simply sleep like a child. l |
can now easily do all my work, in
GLIDING my washing, and my
strength for a woman of my age is |
Just remarkable. I am perfectly |
we'll and enjoy life as we'll as l ever
did. Just lots of people have asked |
me what I have been taking to make |
me look so we'll and it's a pleasure !
for me to tell them Tanlac. know /
as well as l know l am here that I |
owe my health and happiness to this
grand medicine and l will always
praise it"
