grandest medicine in The world" said
Mrs. Robert o. Reynolds, 127 North
Denver ST., Kansas City, Mo.
For ten long years I suffered from
a very bad form Of rheumatism, stom-
ach and nervous troubles. My appe-
ttte was very poor. What little 1 did
eat soured on my stomach and sui
fered the most severe pains in my
back, hips and shoulders. My rheu-
matism was so bad that could not
raise my hands to comb my hair and
my arms hurt me to my finger tips.
I became so weak and run down that
] lost all my energy and life had be-
come almost burden. I tried many
things but nothing helped me.
II had only taken my first bottle
Of Tanlac when I noticed my appetite
was improving and I could sleep bet
ter at night. I have taken three bot
ties and the way 1t has helped me and
built me up is really astonishing. I
can eat anything and everything with
out the slightest disagreeable after
effects. I sleep just fine at night and
am In better health than I have been
for years. am glad to give this
statement hoping that any who are
suffering as did may experience the
same wonderful results which I be-
lieve they will If they give Tanlac a
fair trial."

Athens, April 11.-Reverses suf-

Trees which grow in this climate are
