Then l would have severe pains on

and rundown that 1t would ex-

after reading so much about
Tanfao IN the Kansas City papers, l
decided to make one more effort and
give Taniac a trial, and let me tell
you, that was the wisest decision l
ever made In my life. It seems al
most too good to be true, but / am
now as well as happy as l ever was
in my ife. Why, the change in my
condition Is so wonderful that
everybody who knows me Is talking
about 1t and l always take a per

Tsnlac is responsible for it all. My
kiGneys seem to be in perfect eondi-

from those pains in my back, and l
haven't had ono OF those raging
headaches since ! finished my first
