MILWAUKEE, MAN THROWS A
WAY CRUTCH AND CANE
FEELS TWENTY YEARS
YOUNGER

81 have thrown my crutches and
lcane away since | began taking Tan
lac, and | have gained twenty-six
pounds in weight and actually feel
twenty years younger" was the re-
markabie statement made by Gilbert
Olson, well-known employee of the
Federal Rubber Co. at Cudahy, Wis,
who lives at sos Greenfield Ave, Mil
waukee, Wis.
81 don't believe any man living ever
had a worse case of rheumatism than
had" continued Mr.. Olson, "why,
for ten long years was tortured with
rheumatic pains all drought my body.
would work 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
THE bench when rheumatic spell
would striKe me through the knees and
would fs.il to the floor just like / had
been hit OF streak oflightning. The
rheumatism was all over my body
in MY fecc, up my legs and knees, in
my shoulders, down my elbows and
| in my wrists and hands. Ordinarily
wore a number seven shoe but my
feet would swell so bad that l would
have to split open number eleven
slipper when these spells were at their
worst stage. Sometimes the pains
would strike me through the shoulders
and no matter what had in my hand
| it would drop to the floor for / lost
my grip, and if / started to move
around just a little the pains were
so awful they felt like they would kill
me. At times when / worked at the
press | would have to help my right
arm up to the lever with the aid of my
left one, and at other times my left
arm was worse than my right and l
would have to help my left arm up
and down again the same way When
got home / couldn't be comfortable
anywhere. would ache all over and
try all positions for a few minutes
in chair, on the floor or lying in bed,
and as l said sometimes | would be
laid up for weeks in bed. My wife
had to dress me and put on my slip
pers and at times my legs were so
swollen that my trousers wouldn't
come up over my legs. When these
spells came on me / had to limp on
crutches or hobble about on two canes,
and If / stepped on little thing like
a piece of gravel a pain would immed-
lately shoot straight to my heart /
lost my appetite, was never hungry,
was a complete wreck and fell off
thirty-seven pounds in weight
During all these years | tried every
medicine ! had ever heard of, / took
mud baths for two weeks, took full
treatment from an institute in New
York, and spent hundreds of dollars,
but as for the good | received | might
as well have thrown the money in the
streets. At last / read about Tanlac
in the papers, and when / bought my
first bottle that was the best invest
ment | ever made for by the time |
had finished it | was convinced that /
had finally found what | had been
looking for all these years. In all
took four bottles, threw my canes and
crutches away and never have an ache
or pain in my body. All traces of the
rheumatism have disappeared and my
appetite came back and, as | said
pickedup twenty-six pounds in weight.
Now all this was last spring and you
can see what lasting results | am get
ting-why, havn'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 think of Tanlac."
