agony, and my back hurt so bad
had trouble getting up out OF my

ever, my first bottle of Tanlac gave
me relief. and four bottles have
completely restored my health. Ny

want and my strength has all come
back to me In fact. I'm in better
health in every way than for losg
time, and the good Tanlac has done
me entirely lustifes me in saying
it's a wonderful medicine"
