Hardly Know Her
At First Sight
Mrs. Whites Neighbors Are All
Talking About Her Wonderful
Recovery.

When my wife began taking
Tanlac she weighed only ninety
five pounds; now she weighs one
hundred and forty-three and her
wonderful recovery is the talk of
our neighborhood," said Ben
White, of Ill Crescent Ave-, Pc
|oria, Ill.
Mrs. White has been suffering
from stomach trouble nervous
ness eighteen years." he c6ntin-
ued. and for a long time had
been unable to leave the place.
We spent all the money I could
get for treatments and medicines,
but she never got any better.
She was a complete nervous and
physical wreck, and have seen
her nearly die with cramps in her
stomach. and. after eating, she
could hardly breathe for the gas.
Headaches drove her nearly dis
tracted. and | have stayed home
with her weeks at a time, fearing
she would never pull through, for
she was getting worse all the
time.
After hearing so much talk
about, Tanlac / bought some for
my wife and in just a few days
she could eat and sleep better.
She has now taken about twelve
bottles and is the very picture of
health. Some of her friends
hardly know her at first sight
now. She is as we'll and happy
as a person can be-. /"
Tanlac is sold by Dixie Phar-
macy.

Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy.
This is unquestionabiy one of the most
successful medicines in use for bowel
complaints. A few doses of 1t will cure
an ordinary attack of diarrhea. 1t
has been used in nine epidemics of dys-
enterry. with perfect success. 1t can
always be depended upon to give prompt
relief in cases of collie and cholera
morbus. When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant to take. Every
family should keep this remedy on hand.
