ORDERS TANLAC
DR.. J. T. Edwards Tells Of Results
Obtained Through It's Use.

In my thirty years Of active prac-
tice as a licensed physician, I have
never seen anything t. equal Tanlac
as a medicine to produce results, -
says DR.. J. T. Edwards Of Fayette-
vile, Georgia.
E'People on all sides are telling of
the benefits they have derived from
its use,' he continued, "and I am
prescribing it for my patients al
most every day. Just a little while
ago, a well-known woman Of Fay
etteville told me that her daughte,
had been confined to her bed fol-
three years with what had been call
ed pellagra, and that after using Tan
lac short time she was up and wei
on the road to recovery. Seldom {
day passes that someone does not tel
me something about the good result
they are getting from Tanlac.
"Some of our most prominent PEG
pie have reported unusual gains il
weight, and I have treated som
stubborn cases Of indigestion, ca
tarrhal trouble and organic disorder
with Tanlac, and secured splendi
results.''

A Bilious Attack.

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform it's func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stomach
instead Of dgesting. This inflames
the stomach adm causes nausea, vom-
iting and terrible headache. Take
three Of Chamberlain s Tablets. They
will tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost a qucrter.
