HER BIG CHANGE

Mrs. Campbell Says She Looks and
Feels Like a New Woman Since

'My friends are all surprised when

since taking Tanlac," said Mrs. John
Campbell, formerly of Waterville,
Maine, but for the past year has been
residing at 10 High street place,
Lewiston, Maine.
Il had fine health up to five years
ago, but about that time l began to
suffer from indigestion and in spite
of everything l could do l grew worse
all the time. l finally dreaded to
eat anything because | knew it meant
suffering afterwards. For a long
while before l began taking Tanlac
didn't eat a full meal day.
81 suffered at times from intense
nausea and also violent pains in my
chest and would often have such
terrible headaches that l would
scream out in agony. | was told that
an operation was my only hope. OF
course, my nerves went to pieces
from all the trouble l had and it was
seldom that l was ever able to get
any sound sleep. l grew so weak
| and thin that my family and friends
were all worried about me.
dition hardly seems possible now, l
| feel so well and happy 1 had been
| taking Tanlac only short time when
| all the distressing symptoms began to
| disappear. 1t is glorious to have my
| health back again and to be able to
eat heartily three times a day and
| have no fear of indigestion. My
nervousness is gone and 1 have no
more restless nights.
| my husband is as enthusiastic
about Tanlac as l am because he
gained six pounds in ten days by TAX
ing it, after he saw what is had done
for me. We have made Tanlac our
family medicine and 1 don't believe
we will ever need another"

KEEP YOUNG.

People with bad backs and weak
kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty.
Many old folks say Doan's Kidney
Pills help them keep young. Here's
an Ellsworth Falls case:
Levi w. Bennett, retired farmer,
Mill St., Ellsworth Falls, Me-, says:
Whenever 1 find my kidneys don't
act right or my back gets to paining,
l resort to Doan's Kidney Pills and
they never fail to cure me. Some
times l have noticed after taking
cold that my kidneys would get weak
and disordered and l would have
headaches and dizzy spells. At
times, rheumatic trouble would at
feet my shoulders, arms and hips
and it was very painful. I have al
ways gone to Moore's Pharmacy and
got box of Doan's Kidney Pills at
these times. After using them
awhile, my trouble has disappeared.
l can recommend Doan's to anyone
suffering from their Kidneys"
Statement given December 5, 1860
On October 6, 1920, Mr.. Bennett
said: "Doan's Kidney Pills bene-
flied me greatly and I haven't lost
an opportunity to recommend them
since. I have never used Doan's,
but what they have helped me-"

You didn't talk much as you walked

Zinc In the Human Body.

In his researches at the Pasteur in
stitute in Paris Prof. Delezenne has
discovered, according to the Scientific
American Monthly, that zinc Is an es-
sential and permanent constituent Of
the human body. The metal exists In
all organs, although in rather small
percentage, about O.0O01 by weight
The weight is variable. the highest
proportion being found in the nervous
centers; for example, in the brain or
the thymus. When it is remembered
that the chemical operations of nutri-
ton are also connected with the trans
formation Of the nucleic acids. 1t
seems probable that zinc is one Of the
most necessary agents in the growth of
the body.
