He SUFFERED
FOR IS YEARS
Evansville Mans Life Was
Made Miserable By Catarrh
Feels Fine Now.

There's no doubt about it. the
best investment l ever made in my
life was the money I spent for Tan
lac" said Ben Morehead, 1927
Eichel av., Evansville. Ind. en-
ploye Of the Evansville Paint and
Varnish Co.
For Is years my life was made
miserable by a bad case Of catarrh
in my head and throat. There was
a ringing noise in my head nearly all
the time. If I caught even a slight
cold 1 would cough continually. Ny
kidneys bothered me a good deal,
too. and I had an awful pain right
in the small Of my back. Some
nights I didn't sleep a wink and got
up feeling so miserable couldn't
hardly drag myself 10 work. I had
no appetite and seemed to lose my
taste, as everything tasted alike. /
was growing thinner and weaker
every day. and If I had not gotten
Tanlac when I did / shudder to
think OF what the end would have
been.
II am now just like a new man.
Everything agrees with me, I sleep
like a top and get up in the morning
feeling fine. 1 have gained fifteen
pounds in weight, too. I can hard
ly realize that am free from that
awful catarrh which hung on ME for
Is years but It's a fact. I am a
well man and I give Tanlac the en-
tire credit"
Tanlac is sold in South Bend by
The Central Drug Store and by lead
ing druggists everywhere.
