ways had to be most careful about
her eating and was troubled at times
with dizziness and swimming of the
head. For a long time she had want
ed to take a trip North, but couldn't
do so on account OF her confiion.
when she saw Tanlac advertised
and so many people endorsing II,
she decided to try it and found al
most immediate relief. Tanlac gave
her n fine appetite and put her stom-
ach in fine shape, so she could eat
and enjoy her meals without having
any trouble afterwards. She hasn't
complained Of dizziness or swimming
Of the head since starting on it ana
that nervous condition has also quite
disappeared. Tanlac built her up SO
she was enabled To take a trip North,
where she was gone four months. ana
she wasn't sick minute of the whole

with what Tanlac has done for her
and thinks there is no other mediciff
like it."
