WAS JUST WHAT

Mrs. Hubschmitt Regains
Health by Taking Tanlac
After Spending ThouS-
andS in Vain

1T is no eXaggeration to say that
in my efforts to regain my health |
have spent thousands of dollars, but
| received any help worthy of
mention until l began taking Tanlac"
said Mrs. Geo. Hubschmitt, a promi-
nent and popular young matron of
Paterson, N. j., residing at 27S East
21st street, a few days ago.
For the past few years. I have
suffered from a most deplorable
stomach trouble. l would go for
days at a time without any appetite
and when I did eat even the most
ordinary food, I would bloat very
badly, have difficulty in breathing
and my heart would palpitate fright
fully. l had to be very careful of
what 1 ate but even a poached egg
and toast would cause me much dis
tress. At times it seemed there was
a heaviness in the pit of my stomach
that gave me a tired-out feeling, and
1 suffered sever headaches. 1 grew
to be very and was greatly
worried over my condition.
II had been reading about Tanlac
in the papers and although 1 did not
have much faith that it would help
me, / decided to try it. Since then
l have taken six bottles and it is
really remarkable what the medicine
has done for me. My stomach is SO
much improved that I am no longer
bothered with a bloating or pal
pitation and l have no more head
aches. l have a much better appe-
tite and am growing stronger every
day. 1t has taken me many years to
find relief but it now seems a real
ity and / am so wonderfully pleased
and gratified that l have recon-
mended Tanlac to many of my
friends and feel it my duty to make
this statement so that others may
benefit by my experience"
Tanlac is sold by all popular drug
gists.-adv.
