COULDN'T RAISE
HER HAND TOFACE
St. Paul Woman Suffered for
Four Years-Delighted Over
Relief Tanlac Brought Her.

IF I could speak with everybody
personally who has rheumatism and
stomach trouble I would advise them
to try Tanlac, for am just de-
lighted at the good it has done me
since began taking it," said Mrs.
J. w. Graham, Of 1478 Wesley av-
enue, St. Paul, Mimi, recently.
During the past four years I've
had my share Of suffering and I had
gotten so bad off L. was beginning
to wonder how it was all going to end.
I had rheumatism so bad in my left
arm I was unable to raise my hand
to my face and I had sharp pains
across my back nearly all the time.
I suffered with Indigestion after every
meal and everything I ate turned to
gas and made breathing difficult. My
heart palpitated so bad at times l
thought had heart trouble and there
was constant burning in my stom-
ach. 1 suffered continually from con-
stipation and was subject to frequent
spells of headaches and dizziness. I
was badly run down and had tired,
worn out feeling all the time.
$50 many people had been taking
Tanlac and it did them so much good
that I got bottle and began taking
it myself. In no time l could tell it
was just the medicine l had been
looking for because my troubles be-
gan to leave me and my appetite
returned. From then on my improve
ment was rapid and now I am free
from the rheumatism altogether and
lo1,o If INV arm and
hand as ever before. My appetite is
so fine that I am hungry all the
time and everything I eat agrees with
me perfectly. I am relieved Of con-
stipation and am no longer troubled
with headaches and dizzy spells. Il
am enjoying just splendid health and
l have nothing but the highest praise
for Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by City
Drug Store, Knutson & Lila at|
Graceton; and by the leading drug
gists in every town.-Adv.

The people of central Japan, where
some of the principal agricultural dis
