Why, l was little more than a living skeleton. I was so nervous and restless that sieea was almost impossible. and I counted over the many times that l can nevsF forget them l paid out over four thousand dollars for medicine and treatment, and death would have been preferable to the suffering l | had to endure.
 The way six bottles of Tanlae has re.
 stored my health is simply miraculous. | Why. l have gained twenty-five pounds in weight, ana am still gaining. l eat | like a farmland, everything agrees with me perfectly, and l never have an ache | or pain.
