Crutch and Cane---Feels Twen-
ty Years Younger

81 have thrown my crutches and
cane away since began taking Tan
lac, and have gained twenty-six
pounds in weight and actually feel
twenty years younger was the re-
markable statement made by Gilbert
Olsen, well-known employee of the
Federal Rubber Co., at Cudahy, Wis.
who lives at sos Greenfield ave., Mil
waukee, Wis.
"I don't believe any man living ev-
er had a worse case of rheumatism
than had, continued Mr.. Olsen,
"why, for ten long years ! was tor
tured with rheumatci pains all through
my body. I ,would work a few days
be laid up maybe for weeks work. a
few days again and then be laid up
for weeks again, yes sir |. would be
working at the bench when a rheu-
matte spell would strike me. through
the knees and I would fall to the floor
just like had been hit by a streak
of lighting. The rheumatism was all
over my body---in my feet, UP my legs
and knees, in my shoulders, down my
elbows. and in my wrists and hands.
Ordinarily I wore a number seven
shoe but my feet. would swell so bad
that would have to split open a num-
Der eleven slipper when these spells
were at their worst stage. Sometimes
the pains would strike me. through
the, shoulders and no matter what I
had in my hand it would drop to the
floor for lost my grip, and if. I started
to move around just a little the pains
were so awful they felt like they
would kill me. At times when | work
ed at the press i would have to help
my right arm up to the lever with
the aid of my left arm and. at. other
times my left arm was worse than my
right and would have to help my, left
arm up and down again the same way.
When i. got-heme I couldn't be COM
Portable anywhere, I would ache all
over and try all positions for a few
minutes, in a chair on the. boor or
lying on the bed, and as | said. some
times 7 would be laid up for weeks in
bed. My wife had to dress. me and
put on my slippers and at times my
legs were sosswollen that my trousers
wouldn't, come up over my knees.
When these spells came on me had
to limp on crutches or hobble about
on two canes, and if 7 stepped on any
little thing like piece of gravel a
pain would Immediately shoot straight
to my heart. l lost my appetite, was
never hungry, was a complete wreck
and fell off thirty-seven g. pounds in
weight ~< -. 80
During all these years | tried ev-
cry medicine had ever heard of,
took mud baths for two weeks. /
took full treatment from an2insti-
tute in New York and / spent hun
dreds of dollars, but as for the good
received might as we'll have thrown
the money in the streets. AT last L
read about Tanlac in the papers, and
when I bought my first bottle that was
by the time I had finished it | was
convinced that had finally found
what I had been looking for all these
years In all I took four bottles,
threw my canes and crutches7 away
and never have an ache or pain in
my body, All traces of the rheuma-
tism have disappeared and my appe-
tite came back, as'I said / picked up
twenty-six pounds in weight. Now
all this was last spring and you can
see what lasting results / am getting
why, I haven't missed a day from
work since then and feel better than
have in twenty years. If anybody
doubts this statement just tell them to
call on me and / will be more than
pleased to take time to tell them just
what I think Of Tan1ac."
