Millions of people have not only
been relieved of the most obstinate
forms of dyspepsia and indigestion by
Tanlac after other remedies have
failed, but large numbers of them
have reported remarkable and rapid
increase in weight and return to
normal health and strength by its
use.
In fact, so phenomenal have been
the gains in weight by thin, frail peo-
pie through the use of Tanlac that
this remarkable preparation is now
being proclaimed everywhere as the
Worlds Greatest Tonic.
The food people eat does them alb
solutely no good unless they digest it
properly. When you suffer from in
digestion and other forms of stomach
trouble, the food does you harm in
stead of good, because food which is
not digested stays in the stomach and
ferments, causing pains, swelling,
gas on stomach, shortness of breath,
bad taste in the mouth, dizziness and
many other disagreeable symptoms.
