 Medicine.

M: Rhamey, who lives at the Hotel George, on Sixth street, San Fran- cisco, Cal, to a Tanlac represen- tative, recently. MT. Rhamey, who is nurse by profession, mas been nursing in the hospitals for the past eight years.
 "Last February, while nursing for the Red Cross society, l broke my leg in two places," continued MT. Rhamey, land was sent to 3 hospital, where I was in bed for five weeks. While there, waiting for the bones in my leg to knit to- gether again, I lost my appetite and got to where I could hardly eat thing and naturally l lost weight. I took several different kinds of tonic in the hope they would build me up, but none of them seemed to do me bit of good.
 "One morning I happened to be reading the paper and saw a statement by lady in Los Ali geles who claimed she had gotten such wonderful benefit by taking Tanlac that I made up my mind to try the medicine myself to- see if it would do anything for me. So I bought bottle and by the time I had finished about half of it I was feeling so much better that one morning when looked al my watch and saw it was II o'clock, I remarked to one of the attendants, "Say, I'm hungry" /" and it was the first time in months that I had actually felt like eat ing. From then on I started right in to pick up and my appetite got better and I slept better at night and gained in weight right along until now I have already put on eleven pounds in weight l am feel ing just fine and even my doctor has remarked howmuch better l am looking. I have never allowed my name to be used in connection with a medicine of any kind before, but I have had such excellent re- suits from Tanlac, after all the other things failed, that l take great pleasure in recommending Tanlac to anyone needing a medi- cine to build them up."
