ST. Joseph Woman Says Taniao Has

"Since taking Tanlac I seem to

my stomach like lump OF lead and
then it would sour and bloat me up
with gas until l was in perfect mis-.

drove me frantic and such dizzy
spells that l often had to catch hold
of the furniture to save myself from
falling. My appetite was very poor
and l became so weak that ! could
scarcely do anything, and good por-

cook the meals and do the house
work. I tried all kinds of medicine,
but nothing seemed to suit my case.
"But it is simply wonderful how
Tanlac has built me up until today
I am like a new woman. The very
first bottle gave me an appetite and
settled my stomach, and now. after
taking six bottles my appetite is
splendid and can eat anything l
want and am never troubled in the
least with indigestion or gas. Head
aches and dizzy spells are a thing of
the past ! have already gained ten
pounds in weight and have so much
more strength and energy that I can
do all my Homework without diff

cine it is"
