SHE HAS
NO USE FOR
CRUTCHEs, NOW
Mrs. coursen Was Helpless In Bed
From Rheumatism When She
Began Taking TanIac.

..I was down in bed, almost help
less from rheumatism, when l started
taking Tanlac, but now | haven't an
ache or pain of any kind and am en-
loving as good health as l ever did IN
NV life" was the truly remarkable
statement made recently by Mrs.
Ealla Coursen. of ZIG West Hidepark
street. ST. Joseph, Mo, in a CONVEX
sation with a Tanlac representative.
1T seems almost too. good TO De
true she continued, that | am az
last free from rheumatism and nave
thrown away nay crutches. And pc
sides, | have actually gained twenty
eight pounds in weight in TWO
months time, and / just can't begin
to tell you what blessing Taniac
has been to me.
my troubles started about two
years ago, and since then | have Ger
tainly had to bear my share OF PAIN
and suffering My back hurt con-
tinually. and when l would bend over
was simply in agony. MY legs
panied me awfuIly. and finally got
so bad off was unable to walk with
out the aid of crutches. My stomach
became badly disordered. lost my
appetite and couldn't digest thing,
scarcely. Naturally I began to fall
off in weight and became extremely
weak and nervous. To make long
story short, / was a perfect wreck
and finally had to give up entirely
and take to my bed suffered near
ly all the time, was hardly able TO
move and actually had to be turned
ovor in he'd in a sheet
.sI had about lost faith N all medi-
cir1es. for 1t seemed the more l took
the worse / got, but am certainly
thankful that | gave Tanlac trial.
The very first bottle helped me, for
the pains began to let up and felt
easier and better in every way. By
the time I had finished my third bot
tie | had no more use for my crutch-
es. for I was able to walk without
them and without pain of any kind.
And now ! believe the rheumatism
has all completely left me, for can't
detect a sign Of it and ] am feeling
as well and strong as / ever did In
NV life. have splendid appetite
and my big gain IN weight shows
how well my food is agreeing with
me. am not the least bit nervous
and I sleep fine every night am
now doing my housework and viii

for IT has helped me out of bed and
put me on my feet in perfect health.
