time told that an operation would be

gave me palpitation of the heart, sick
headaches and dizzy feeling about the
head. When those spells came on me,

sister begged and pleaded with me not |
to allow them to cut on me and told |
me to wait and try good tonic for
while. The next day as | returned |
from the consultation room | thought /
of what she said, and as | had heard /
so much about Tanlac, | decided to try
it as last resort, and stopped at the
drug store and got bottle OF course,
