Mrs. Spivey has been in poor heaith
for fourteen wears" he continued, ard
almost every month during that time
she was under treatment of some sort,
but she never got any relief that we
could notice. She had no appetite anu
there were mighty few things she
could eat and what little she did force
down soured on her stomach and gas
would form and make her SO misef-
able that she would have to lie down
for awhile. She almost always had an
awful pain in the small OF her back
and she suffered from binding head
aches and sometimes she would be SO
dizzy she would have to put her hand
on something steady like the back OF
a chair to keep from falling. She sur
fered from nervousness so that some
nights she could hardly sleep at all
and she never did know what it was
to get a good nights rest She kept
growing weaker and weaker and was
so bad off that twice in the past six
years she was given up to die we
thought we had tried everything to
help her and didn't know what else TO
do when a lady friend of hers told
about Tanlac / bought the first bot
tie about three month ago and almost
at once she began to show her strength
was coming hack, but the wonderful
Improvement has been in the past two
months.
''She has good appetite now. and
can eat anything she wants like APP
ples cabbage pies and meats of any
kind. Anyone of these things before
she began to take Tanlac-were just
like poison to her. She doesn't suffer
n bit from sour stomach or gas and
she gets much good from what
she eats that she has gained twenty
eight pounds in the past two months.
She is entirely rid of that pain In her
back and the headaches are gone. too
Nobody could tell that anything had
been the matter with her nerves. they
are so quiet now, and she sleeps about
nine hours every night. She has got
ten so strong that she is doing all the
homework for our family of six and
doesn't mind ii a bit. and il is the
first time in twelve years that she has
been able to do any work at all She
is ~nore like she used to he fifteen
wears ago than I ever hoped to see
her and I feel just like everybody else
that knows Of her Improvement that
Tanlac is the best medicine ever
made"
