Well Known Tampa Citizen

His Stomach Trouble - Has
Gained Ten Pounds Since

Il believe in giving credit where
credit is due, and for that reason
can endorse Tanlac heartily for what
it has done in my case said Fred T.
Burger, Kenyon St, Box 1888, Tampa,
a few days ago. Mr. Burger is owner
and manager of Burgers Marine Ways
one of the oldest and best ways in
Tampa, having been established fifteen
years ago. Mr.. Burger is an expert
on motor boats and gasoline engines
and devotes his large plant to the
building and repairing of motor and
speed launches.
For more than three years" he con-
tinued, Il had been a sufferer from
stomach trouble and nervousness, and
had reached the point where l thought
nothing but an operation would bring
relief. My appetite was the poorest
kind, and I ate so little I was grad
ually losing in weight and strength.
| The pains in my stomach were awful
and at times could hardly stand
them. l had regular spells of nervous =
ness and it seemed nothing would re-
lieve them. l spent many a sleepless
night rolling and tossing, and when
morning came I always felt weak and
listless.
We'll, so many people right here in
Tampa seemed to be getting such
fine results from Tanlac that start
ed taking it a few weeks ago, and my
only regret is that l didn't begin as
soon as | first heard about it, l am
| now in the best of health, have fine
appetite and am eating whatever l
please without a particle of trouble
afterwards. The nervousness has al
gone and / sleep as sound as l ever
did in my life. l have picked up ten
pounds in weight and am simply we'll

give it my recomme nda ton"

president in Mason CITY, Iowa, and
