place TO place. trying 10 regain my
health. and just to think that a few
Bottles OF Tanlac at "a cost almost
too small 10 mention has put M on
nay feet certainly strikes me as be
ing remarkable. Ny trouble all
started from a case OF ptomaine poi
soning down in Stockton. After be-
~ng treated in Stockton for several
weeks and getting no better 1 gvas
sent 10 a hospital In san Francisco
where I stayed for eight weeks.
When ] got out 1 hardly had strength
10 walk across the street and had
actually lost ffty-five pounds in
weight. Everything I ate would
sour on my stomach and bloat me up
with gas until I could hardly bend
over. / kept on being treated and
living on a diet without getting any
better until / almost gave up hope.
I couId drink no coffee and could
only eat the very lightest OF foods,
such as poached eggs. mush and
milk toast. also spent a month
or more at the springs near Sacra-
mento but with everything that was
done for me l got worse instead Of
better.
During last May decided to
come 10 Indianapolis as I have two
brothers living here and thinking
possibly the change of climate might
help to put my stomach in order and
restore my strength When / got
of the train / barely had strength
10 get oct 70 my brothers house.
Time rocked along-me still on my
debut 1 never did take a turn
for the better until I BEGAN taking
Tanlac about six weeks ago. com
menced TO improve before I had
finished my first bottle OF Tanlac
and have been steadily climbing up
hill ever since. I have just finished
my fifth bottle now and am fifteen
pounds heavier than when I took my
first dose. There is absolutely
nothing but what I can eat and di-
gest perfectly now and my stomach
simply feels like a new one I sleep
like a log every night and it is moth
ing less than wonderful the way my
strength and energy have come back
10 nae. Before taking Tanlac / was
bilious all the time. had a bad com
plexion. but now / have a good
healthy color and my relatives here
are all as much delighted over my
recovery as I am. Ny only regret is
that I did not take Tanlac long ago
when I first read about IL in my
home papers but from now on when

to take"
