Mrs. Shell Was So Run Down She Abandoned Hope-Tanlac Restores Her Health.

Il never expect to be without Tanlac in my house any more and want to tell anyone who suffers from stomach trouble and nervous ness that I believe this medicine will fix them up in good shape" said Mrs. Lucille Shell, residing at 112S East 11th Street, Los Ange- les, in an interesting interview, re- gently: Mrs. Shell is a prominent church worker in her section of the city and her high christian charac- ter and kindly disposition have won | for her a host of devoted friends. The reason I feel so grateful to Tanlac," continued Mrs. Shell, lis because I fully believe it has saved my life. Five years ago I began suffering from nervous indigestion, gas on my stomach and that tired worn-out feeling. I finally got so just could not eat or drink any thing but what I would bloat up with gas until it seemed like l would suffocate and the pain was almost unbearable. My 'heart would palpitate until I would faint, and night after night l have walked the floor, getting no sleep at all. lit seems to me I was the most nervous person living and was so Respondent that I burst out crying at the least little thing. I really felt that I would never get well, l for I had tried everything 1 could hear of and was getting worse all .he time. I was confined to my bed most of the time.
 Finally my brother urged me to l ry Tanlac and bought me a bottle. We'll, it was just to please him, not that I thought it would help me, that I began taking it, and before had finished the first bottle the pain was gone from my stomach. The gas stopped forming and ] .ould eat and drink little without distress Well, that was the begin ming and now 1 have used six bot ties and am entirely well 1 can even eat cabbage, and that is some thing I have not eaten in years. In fact, 1 eat Just anything ana every thing and am getting back my lost weight right along. l sleep like a child every night and get up in the mornings feeling thoroughly rested and refreshed. It is wonderful how | Juick the right medicine will get lnyone to feeling right again. Tan 'ac certainly was the right thing or me and I am so thankful for citing back nay health that l feel
 ike urging every suffering person, specially those with any sort of itomach trouble, to try it"
