By taking Tanlac l have gained twenty pounds and gotten rid of rheumatism that had troubled me for thirty-five years" said J. w. Carlson of 96 Phelan Creek street, St. Paul, Minn.
 ''I now sixty years old' he contin- ued, and had suffered ever since 1 was a young man of twenty-five. During that time l had the very best of treat ment and tried many different kinds Of medicine, but got no permanent relief until I found Tanlac l was in such bad shape last year that I was laid up for three months I also had stomach troll ble so bad that everything I ate caused me to bloat with gas and suffer for hours afterwards often I had raging heada ches and was so nervous I could never get much sleep. Finally I gave up entirely and never expected to be any better. but I began taking Tanlac and the way it knocked that rheumatism out was simply wonderful and I haven't t sign of it left.
 My stomach trouble, too, has left me entirely I eat three big meals every day, for I am hungry all the time and never have the least bit of indigestion. My strength has come back and it beats the world the way l am gaining in weight l never felt better in every way in my life and it gives me pleasure to recommend Tanlac, for it will do just what they say it will'
