COULD HARDLY WALK
UPSTAIRS, SHE SAYS
Mrs. Annie Eagle Is Well And Strong
Now. Praises Tanlac

although il has been some time
now since Tanlac ended my suffering
| am still feeling fine said Mrs An
ME L. Eagle who resides at so Elm
street. Portland. Me-, to a Tanlac rep
resentative recently. Continuing
she said:
"Refore | took Tanlac l was so run
down l could not do the least bit of
work without becoming all tired out.
I was very weak and could walk
hardly any distance or go upstairs
without having to rest three or four
times, and at times l could hardly
walk at all. l had an awful pain
in my side nearly all the time, and
would have to sit right down and wait
for 1t to pass of. My nerves got
in such a bad condition that the least
little noise out of the ordinary would
nearly drive me wild, and could
sleep but very little and would wake
M in an awful fright at the least
little disturbance.
We'll, as so many people told me
of the good Tanlac had done them,
decided to try 1t, as | thought it
might help me also, and | want to
say that Tanlac Is all that Ia claimed
for it, for after taking 1t | haven't
an ache or pain and feel just as
strong as l ever did in my life. l
can walk any distance now without
getting tired. and can do my house
work with the greatest of ease. Ny
nerves are just as steady as can be,
and l sleep we'll every night and get
up In the morning feeling fine and
full of energy. l don't believe will
ever be bothered with my old trouble
any more. as I never felt better in my
life then l do now"
