WIFE'S TROUBLES.

Rev. A. H. Sykes, former pastor
of the Watkins Park Presbyterian
church, Nashville, Tenn, says,
After seeing what Tanlac has
accomplished in my wife's case, 1
am convinced that it is a medicine
of great power and extraordinary
merit. l do not think l have ever
seen anything give such prompt re-
suits. Mrs. Sykes had been in
delicate health for ten months, suf-
fering from stomach trouble and
nervous breakdown.
1 frequently sought medical
advice but Tanlac is the only thing
that gave her any relief. After
taking the medicine only a short
time, she was able to sit up and
help with the household duties. /
think it only a short time until her
health will be fully restored"
Tanlac is sold in Bradford by
O F Sisco & Son, in Wells River

by Curtis & Randall, in Fairlee
