IT KEPT Me ON
The JOB He SAYS
Nctcral Employe Of Oliver Pfow
Works Gives His Testimony
For Tanlac.

John Duck, a pioneer citizen of
South Bend Ind. residing at 916
y. Hill street, who is one OF the
most popular figures at the plant Of
the Oliver Pillow & Implement com
pany where he is employed as mill
wright and carpenter declared in a
statement the other day that had it
not been for the help of Tanlac he
would have been compelled, on ac-
count Of rheumatism, to give up his
work.
Mr. Duck has been a resident of
South Bend for 65 years and has
seen the town grow from a village
of 600 people TO a flOurishing city
of $4,000 population.
DAY after tomorrow" said Mr.
Duck. iii be Il years old and I
want to tell the people that it's by
the help of Tanlac that I am able
to successfully hold my place as
millwright and carpenter here at the
plant. Two years ago I began suf-
fering with rheumatism in my
shoulders and arms and no doubt
/ would be laid up today instead Of
working if l had not taken Tanlac.
Ny arms would swell up and ache
and throb so 1 could hardly raise my
hands to my head. Ny elbows were
so stiff and achy that it was agony
for me to bend them and in damp
or cold weather, especially, I was
almost unfit for work. Frequently
such keen cutting pains would shoot
back and forth across my shoulders
that l could hardly stand il.
But I never was a hand to give
up or take medicine and I just kept
dragging along until my suffering got
TO be so severe that 1 had TO take
serious notice. 1t was either take
something and get rid of the rheu-
matism or give up my job. Well,
Tanlac was the first thing came into
my mind as so many people were
talking about how il had helped
them, so I got a bottle and, while
it seems remarkable, it's fact.
within a weeks time I hardly knew
/ ever had rheumatism. My elbows
stopped swelling. the pain, soreness
and stiffness disappeared and
could use my arms about as well
as 1 ever could. I had never noticed
anything except rheumatism being
the matter with me, but Tanlac has
gotten my whole system in condi-
ton to where 1 feel a hundred per
cent better all over. 1 keep Tan
lac in my house all the time now
and I never take anything else for
the ailments it's recommended for.
Tanlac saves me time. suffering and
money. and I'm giving these facts
in my case for what they may be
worth 10 others who are needing
such a medicine"
Tanlac is sold in South Bend by
Mishawaka by the Red Cross Phar-
