u will never be able to pay the deb.
Of gratitude owe to Tanlac for wha:
it has done for my little boy and
me-" said Mrs. Nellie Peck, No. 14A
Charlotte ST., Kansas City, Mo.
"Mv little boy Curtis is fourteen
years old and never in his life had he
seen well day until he began taking
Tanlac. He seemed to have very
weak stomach. 1t just looked like he
couldn't eat anything and digest It
like other children.
He had no appetite at all and what
little he did cat seemed to sour on
his stomach. Sometimes his heart
would palpitate terribly and he would
get so dizzy he could hardly walk. He
would have bad headaches and was
nervous and could never sleep well
at night. At school he was never able
to keep up his work and he had to
stay out great deal on account OF
poor health.
Il had heard 50 much abou: Taniac
decided to try it and see if it
wouldn't help him. His health IS bet
ter than ever before in his life and
he Is bright and playful all the time
ana he enjoys going out ard playing
with other boys He has a splendid APP
petite and let him cat anything he
wants. He is not the least bit ner-
vous any mere and IS asleep as soon
as he goes to bed. In fact, he is per
fect!y wei! in every way.
"After seeing what Tanlac did for
him | began taking it myself IS |
have been suffering from stomach
trouble. headaches ard dizziness for
five years. Since taking this grand
medicine ] am now happy to say that
never suffer any more with these
troubles.
Tanlac is sold in Alexandria by Ed
gar Warfield, il. and Gibson Drug
Store.
