WILSON MAKES "a potjND GAIN.
Iowa Manufacturer Makes a State
ment To The Public About
Tanlac.

j. D.. Wilson, secretary and general
manager of the Algona Brick & Tile
Company of Algona, Iowa, called at
McNerney's Rrug Store in Des Moines
recently, and made statement re-
gardnig the benefits he has derived
from the use of Tanlac that will be of
interest throughout the entire state.
In relating his experience with the
Master Medicine, Mr.. Wilson says he
has not only gotten rid of case of
nervous indigestion from which he had
suffered for three years, but that he
has also gained twenty-four pounds
in weight. Here is his statement:
81 have been benefited even be-
You'd my belief and feel that it is time
for me to talk for the benefit of
others. had suffered from nervous
indigestion and a general run down
condition for three years. My stom-
ach was so weak and upset that l
could not retain and digest enough of
what I ate to keep up my strength and
1 was gradually losing ground all the
time. My food would sour almost as
soon as had eaten it and the gas
from it would press on my heart,
cruising palpitation, shortness of
breath and intense pains. My kid
neys were also in bad shape and 1
often suffered with severe pains in
the small of my back.
"No kind of treatment or medicine
did me any good and as result of my
condition | was continually losing
weight was worried constantly
with the fear that my case was be-
yond the reach of medicines. But I
finally began taking Tanlac on the adj
vice of AN old friend, and not only
have my troubles been relieved, but
feel like / have bee ngiven new
lease on life. At the time l began
taking this medicine l only weighed
one hundred and eighteen pounds, but

dred and forty-two, making an actual
gain of twenty-four pounds. can
now eat just anything set before me
and never feel sign of indigestion.
Why, only yesterday I ate steak and
onions for dinner, thoroughly enjoyed
them, and they did not hurt me the
least bit. l am now able to eat cab
bage and pork and digest them as
easily as can milk In fact, neither
my stomach or kidneys bother me
any more. am absolutely free from
all pain and am in better shape ply
sically than have been in long time.
A medicine that will do what Tanlac
has done in my case is certainly
worth recommending to the public and
am glad to give this statement to
be used in letting others, who are try
ing to find relief, know about it,"
Tanlac is sold in Missouri Valley by
R. w. Harvey; in Mondamin by H. A.
