J. MGETTR|Ck
Prominent Trenton Citizen
Declares TanIac is Without
an Equal Health Restored

When so many well known people
of unquestioned integrity make
statement after statement, each and
everyone testifying to the same
thing every day, and each n cor
~roborating the other. the truth of
such statements cannot be doubted.
One of the latest to testify re-
garding Tanlac is John McGettrick,
Hotel Miller. Trenton, N. j. Mr..
McGettrick. who is now connected
with the office of State Hygiene, has
been prominent in the civic affairs
of Trenton for many years and when
men of this type testify il cannot be
denied that the Premier Prepara-
ton is all that is claimed for it. In
describing his case and failure to
heretofore find relief, Mr.. McGettrick
said.
Il can tell you that Tanlac is a
wonderful tonic. The very first bot
tie 1 used took right hold of me and
brought me on my feet. l have had
a cold hanging on me since early
last winter and although l have
spent a lot of money l got no re-
suits. In fact. 1 kept going down
hill and feeling more miserable all
the time.
81 reached the point where I had
no appetite and could not sleep at
night. | was in a weak,
condition and would get up every
morning feeling so sick at the stom-
ach that l could not a a bite of
breakfast. 1 had no life or energy
and to use a common place ex-
preston. l was just all in
II had about lost hope of ever
getting any better when l read about
Tanlac and concluded TO give it a
trial. l have taken only n bottle
so far, but do you know 1 am a
hundred per cent better in every
way. II has acted like magic in my
case. 1 had taken only a few doses
when / began to pick right up.
1T just seems to have filled me
brim full OF new life and energy. l
eat three hearty meals a day now
and my stomach feels just right. l
now get a full nights restful sleep
and get up mornings feeling fine. l
can recommend Tanlac TO any one
who is troubled with indigestion and
feeling rundown. 1 don't believe it
has an equal"
