Wife SEES HER
FIRST WELL DAY
IN Nine YEARS
Mrs. Marshall Gains Fifteen
Pounds Taking TanlaC;
Troubles End.

positively, my wife never saw
well day in the last nine years till
she began taking Tanlac, and it not
only fixed her up all right but she
gained fifteen pounds BESIDES" said
Samuel E. Marshall. salesman ="
the J. H. Smith Machinery Co., anu
living at 425 North Tenth street,
Lincoln, the other day.
"She had such a terrible stomach
trouble to begin with" he con-
tinued, "that it just dragged her
down for nine long years and she
kept getting worse right along in
spite of all she could do. She did
not seem to have any appetite and
just had to force down the little
she did eat. and she said her food
would feel like it had lodged in her
stomach like a hard lump, and she
would fill up so with gas that it
would make her sick at the stomach
and at times she would get SO dizzy
that she would actually fall. She
was almost driven distracted with
splitting headaches. She lost all of
fifteen pounds in weight and was
miserable all the time.
"After trying everything we
could hear of without her getting
any relief, she said she thought she
would like to try Tanlac as it
seemed to be helping so many 9TH
ers, so l got her a bottle After
taking five bottles of Tanlac she
has fully recovered her health and
says she feels better than she has
in many years. She eats anything
she wants and enjoys all her meals
like hungry schoolboy. She has
gotten entirely rid of her indiges-
ton; those awful headaches and
dizzy spells never trouble her any
more. She sleeps like a child all
night and gets up in the morning
feeling rested and refreshed and
just as full of life and energy al
most as woman half her age. In
fact she is more like her former self
now than l have seen her in a long
time and her recovery is all due en-
tirely to the Tanlac she has taken"
