MOTORMAN TELLS
ABOUT TROUBLE
HAD RHEUMATISM so BAD EV-
cry MOVE CAUSED PAIN
TANLAS PUT HIM ON FEET.

sTanlac deserves everything good
that has been said about it" said An
ton Ficber, 446 Ray street, st. Paul,
MINI, motorman on the short railway.
For three years l have suffered
from rheumatism all over my body, I
could hardly raise my hands to my
head, and turning on and off the cur
rent and handling the brakes on my
car caused me to suffer agony. l had
very little appetite, and l had awful
cramps in my stomach after every
meal. I often had sharp, shooting
pains across the small of my back and
my nerves were badly upset. I was
troubled a great deal with constipa-
ton and every few days I would have
a dull, mean headache.
Several of my friends advised me
to take Tanlac and it proved to be
the very thing | needed. Although
have taken only three bottles the rheu-
matism has left me entirely and
never have pain of any kind. I am
hungry all the time and no matter
what or how much l eat | never suffer
from it afteTward. l am not troubled
with constipation any more, never
have headache and my nerves are
in splendid shape I don't think there
is another medicine in the world that
will begin TO compare with Tanlac,
and I recommend it to others every
time / have an opportunity.
Tanlac is sold in Redwood Falls by
Public Drug Company and by the
leading druggists in every town.
