Swigert Says From Way
Tanlac Restored His
Wife He's Convinced
It's in Class By Itself.

I've never taken Tanlac myself,
but I'm convinced from the way it
has restored my wife's health that
it's in a class my ITSELF" said r. l..
Swigert, we'll known farmer living
on r. F. D. No. 3, Galesburg, ILL.,,
recently.
my wife had stomach trouble
and rheumatism and it is hard to
tell which caused her to suffer the
most. She had Indigestion so bad
she had nearly quit eating entirely
for it looked like everything turned
against her. She had awful pains
in her stomach and complained Of
a heavy. miserable feeling all the
time. The rheumatism was worst
in her arms and shoulders and at
times the pains were just about all
she could stand.
Her arms would get so stiff and
achy it was all she could do to use
them. Nothing seemed to bring re-
lief and I hated to see her suffer-
ing like that without being able to
help 1t. She began to fall of in
weight and got 50 weak and run
down that was beginning to won
der where it was all going to end.
But before she finished her first
bottle of Tanlac things commenced
to take on . different light. Her
appetite came back and the stom-
ach trouble and rheumatism began
to lose their grip. Well. she has
taken five bottles now, and. it's a
fact, l hardly know when she was
ever in better health. She is look
ing fine, has picked up in weight
and hasn't pain or an ache. She
is all the time telling some Of our
friends about Tanlac, and I an
glad to give this statement for what
it may be worth to others. '-(Adv. }

the Inside Passage, terminating in
the incompatible Lynn Canal, and
thence across the territory. The

views taken personally by Mr.. Raine.

are almost l 900 miles in length and
are bordered with majestic mountains

ing Of the ore, and the rich copper
mines. The pictures and descriptions
OF the natives and their costumes and
