rnenced taking Tanlac, I was 80 bad
off that I was hardly ever able to re-
tain anything I ate. Then there were
times when I would have such terrible

had severe pains in my back, too. and
was in so much misery at night that

three hearty meals every day without
suffering a particle afterward. The
rheumatism has left me, too, and I
never have those awful pains in my
back like I did. Why, I can easily
do all my housework now. and then
go into the garden and work an hour
