such dreadful headaches | thought
they would run me wild | was so
nervous that it was almost impossible
for me to get a good nights sleep or
rest. l felt tired all the time and
many a day | gave completely out
and had to stop and lie down to rest
MY sister had been taking Tanlac
and when l saw what it did for her /
decided to try it, too. / began to
improve right from the start and now
since have taken five bottles / really
feel like new woman. | have been
built up so wonderfully that | have
actually gained forty pounds in
weight. My friends and neighbors
are simply amazed at my recovery
and every day someone is compli-
menting me on how well and strong I
am looking. My appetite is just fine
and everything l eat agrees with me
just perfectly. l am not one bit ner-
vous and l sleep as soundly as can
be all night long. 1 don't know
what it is to be troubled with
headache any more. | feel better
and stronger than | have in years
and can hardly realize myself the
change that has come over me. l am
so grateful to Tanlac that l don't be-
lieve | will ever be able to praise it
enough
