John II. Packer Gains A Pounds
and Now Eats Anything---Suf-
fered 20 years

WHEN a man has had to live for two
years on nothing much except raw
eggs. on account of stomach trouble
and then finds a medicine that fixes
him up in less than two months so he
can eat sour kraut, meats of all kinds
and anything else he wants, | think it
is time for him to talk for the benefit
of others. Well, Tanlas has done all
this for me and more, for [ am now
forty-four pounds heavier than | was
the day | began taking it and am now
enjoying better health than | have in
at least fifteen years. was the remark
able statement made by John H. Pack
err, patentee and proprietor of the
Packer Oil Filter, who lives at Lib
erty, Mo-, recently.
t'For twenty years of more" he con-
tirued, 81 have suffered with my stom-
ach and although | have spent thou
sands of dollars, nothing ever helped
me until | got Tanlac.s My appetite
left me entirely, and what little | did
eat would almost double me entirely
with pain and I would blOat up with
gas until could scarcely breathe. Dur
ing the past five years, especially,
have suff cred a great deal from con
stipation, felt tired out all the time,
had no energy, and was so drowsy and
listless that if | tried to talk business
to a man it was an effort to express
what wanted to say. My health final
~ got so bad that | was forced to give
up a splendid position in Pocatello
Idaho and nobody, except those in the
same condition can fully understand
how I suffered.
Il had almost lost faith in all medi
results, but Tanlac certainly has been
a revelation to me- I can now eat just
anything | want and never experience
a particle of trouble. [ have never
had better appetite, and all signs OF
indigestion, gas and distress after eat
ing are gone. Tanlac has also re
lieved me of constipation and strength
ened and built me up until | feel as
full of energy as when | was a boy
When | first started on Tanlac
weighed one hundred and twenty-foul
pounds, but now | weigh one hundred
and sixty eight and half, and this
shows how we'll suited to my case
Tanlac was"
Tanlac is sold in Baraboo by Fisher
Bros, and in Reedsburg by Henri!
