health than I have been for the past
two years" said Mrs. Bertha Morris, of
226 North Walnut St, Wichita, Kan.
Before I began taking Tanlac I was
so weak and rundown I could hardly
do a thing about the house. 1 had
absolutely no appetite, and the little
1 did force myself to eat caused gas
to form and blOated me up till I was
in perfect misery. I woke up in the
mornings with a bad taste in my
mouth and frequently had headaches
that almost drove me distracted.
often had severe bilious attacks which
left me completely exhausted and kept
me in bed for days at a time.
"a near neighbor of mine was bene-
fitted so much by Tanlac I decided to
give it a trial. The very first bottle
did me so much good I kept right on
with it and it was just wonderful the
way It built me up. I very soon had a
splendid appetite and could eat any
thing and never suffer a particle from
indigestion. have gained in strength
and in weight right along. and am now
able to do all my homework with
ease. haven't had a bilious attack
or a headache since I first started on

medicine it is"
