Suffered Ten Years--Run Down From
240 Pounds to 135--Friends
Amazed.

Il don't care il everybody In Peoria
was here to listen I'd tell them all
the same thing about Tanlac that I'm
going to tell you," said Robert Gridcr
while discussing the medicine with
friends at the Sutliff & Case Drug
Store in Peoria few days ago.
Mr.. Order is business manager of
Transfers Union No. 627 of Peoria
and lives at 1856 West Washington
street, Peoria, Ill. His statement re-
garding the results he has obtained
from Tanlac is SO remarkable as to be
almost incredible and realizing this
he refers anyone who may doubt to
his friends and neghbors for vertical
ton of the facts.
Ten years ago" explained Mr..
Order, my stomach got out of order
and ! started down hill. Nothing
helped me and / kept going down
until finally became just helpless
wreck and weighed only one hundred
and thirty-five pounds. Not being able
to work any longer and, as everything
had been done for me at home that
could be, | set out for treatment else
where. l spent a long while in ST.
Louis under the best specialist could
find there. From there ! went to Chi
cago and finally came back to Peoria
the worst discouraged man you ever
saw. By this time / was down in
bed more than | was up and had to
live mostly on milk as anything else
bloated me up as tight as drum and
the gas from it affected my heart
until could scarcely breathe There
was heavy feeling like lead in my
stomach and such awful cramping
pains that / could hardly stand it.
was having attacks of acute indiges-
ton SO bad at times / thought | was
going to die. My circulation was SO
poor that l felt cold all the time and
the color of blood couldn't be seen in
my face. l had paid out over four
thousand dollars. but in place Of get
ting better got worse until reached
the point where had little hope of
living much longer.
Now this is just the condition
was in at the time / began taking
Tanlac, but since then / have gotten
rid Of my trouble entirely and / now
weigh two hundred and forty pounds.
In day or so after started on Tan
lac l commenced to want something
to eat and it wasn't long until could
eat without it hurting me- l was al
most dumbfounded when l could once
more eat meal without suffering
from it, for it had been ten years since
could do such thing. l have never
been able to eat more or digest my
food better than / can now and / am
as well as l ever was in my life. / am
as strong as an OK and my robust
health by the use of Tanlae has cost
me only twenty-four dollars. My
friends look at my broad shoulders in
utter amazement. l am not only will
ing to go before any notary in this
town and swear to the truth of my
statement, but I could bring at least
a hundred of my neighbors here, who
will tell you what an awful fix l was
in before l took Tanlac. All the
praise, thanks and gratitude for my
wonderful recovery belong to Tanlac
and / would be ungrateful not to pass
the good word along"
