1t Set Me Right When Everything Else Failed
 Says Toledo Resident

rect and suffered intense pain most of the tune. My feet and legs would swell up to twice their normal size, and if a hot iron had been run into my flesh I don't think It could have hurt worse. Now and then felt little better, but the trouble would soon come back worse than ever and something more than two years ago ! got in such a bad fix that l was ad- yised to go to Hot Springs.
 After taking the treatment there for nearly six months l seemed to be some what improved, but a few months later the old trouble started up again. Then friend suggested Tanlac. and the first two bottles brought about such good re- suits, giving me fine appetite and mak- ing me feel much better that I just kept taking it and improving. Well, after finishing my ninth bottle I felt per fectly sound and well, and had the sur prise of my life when I got on the scales and found I had actually picked up fcrty pounds in weight, and have held it. too, and felt fine ever since. I have the best reasons in the world for praising Tanlac, and don't hesitate to recommend it, for it set me right when everything else failed. l am now enjoying better health than I have in fifteen years, and can hold my own with the best of them. Tanlac built me up until I neither look nor feel like the same man.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Company; in Ensley by Ezell Drug Company: in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug Company, and in Avondale by Robert w. Murray.-Adv.
