TELLS 0F RECOVERY

The following remarkable state

spected resident of Los Angeles.
Calf, living at No. % North Alva-
rado Street. Mrs. Wildrick is 50 wears
of age and is the mother of seven
children. Her photograph appears

For the past year or more" said
Mrs. Wildrick, II have ben in very
poor health. / suffered principally
from chronic indigestion and my con
dition was so bad I had to spend half
of my time in bed from sheer weak
ness In spite of all the medicine |
took | could not possibly get any re-
lief and | became SO nervous and un-
strung that at times | could hardly
realize what I was doing. I just had
no appetite at all and suffered terri
bly, nearly all the time with indiges-
tion and was really in very bad way
physically. If | did eat little some
thing l would always have a miser-
able, distressed feeling afterward and
tell you l was going down hill
pretty fast.
"Well, just can't find words to
tell you how really bad off | was and
also to tell you what Tanlac has done
for me, for feel as well now as
<ever felt in my life. Why, after tax
ing only three and half bottles of
this medicine have actually gained
15 pounds in weight and everyone
tells me | am looking better than in

How shall I do my hair?"
There is one DO and one DON'T
in answer to this question.
The Do is:
Dress your hair becomingly. To
really accomplish this first study the
shape of your head; second, the
height of your forehead; third, the
contour of your nose.
The DON'T is:
DON'T MAKE YOURSELF LOOK
LIKE A FREAK BY BEING Al
SLAVE TO FASHION.
All women can no more wear the
same style of hair-dress than they
can wear the same size of shoes. The
woman with high forehead can add
so per cent to her personal beauty
by pulling soft fiuffs of hair over the
too prominent feature. The pretty,
dimpled, full-faced girl who does her
hair in the modern fashionable ear
puffs is in danger of making her face
look fat instead of youthfully round.
Most defects of head contour
even serious ones7-can be greatly

When bilious, suffering with indi-

your liver alone is not to blame.
This upset condition may be caused
by either the kidneys or blood and
the liver simply refuses to function
out of sympathy.
What affects the liver also affects
the kidneys and blood; therefore, the
only way to speedily put the entire
system back to its normal healthy
condition is to right the liver and
kidneys and purify the blood with

intimate friends are also taking it

mend Tanlac and help spread the
goodness of this medicine. Yes, I

BAD BLOOD

You are pale, thin, weak-with
little vitality. Your liver is slug
gish and the bad blood causes your
stomach muscles to lose their elas-

barks, and free from alcohol or
narcotics, is the great and powerful

always gave it to my children and it
was excellent, not only helped the
cough but also gave them strength.
Last fall the influenza left me with a
bad cough and otherwise Tun-down.
I took couple of bottles of Golden

My hubby works every day. He is
home every evening and Saturday
afternoons and Sundays. too. And
