Says Wife Looks
20 Years Younger
Little Rock Man Is Enthusiastic
About Tanlac : Declares She
Suffered Fifteen Years.

C. o. Farabee, S22 Elm ST.,
Little Rock, Ark. a retired
merchant and stock dealer who
still holds banking and farming
interests in Arkansas, is enthu.
siastic about Tanlac. In relating
the remarkable benefits received
by his wife from the use Of the
medicine he said:
IF anyone had told me a few
months ago that it was possible
for any medicine to help anybody
as much as Tanlac did my wife /
wouldn't have believed them.
But it's a fact, it has done more
for her than all the medicines
and treatments she took in the
past fifteen years put together.
and for the first time in all these
years she is what could be called
we'll and strong.
ITO make matters worse,
about three months ago she had
to undergo an operation for ap-
pendicitis and after the opera
ton she was in a weak and help
less condition. She had no ap-
petite, could not digest her food
properly and had awful attacks
of palpitation of the heart and
shortness of breath. She had
no strength nor energy and we
could find nothing to build her
up.
Fortunately, one of her
friends brought her bottle of
Tanlac, and it is certainly won
derful how she responded to this
1t gave her a splen-
did appetite and she seemed to
get new life and energy with
every dose. All her stomach
trouble disappeared, the color
came back to her cheeks and she
began to sleep like a healthy
child all night long. She looks
twenty years younger, too. of
we are enthusiastic about
Tanlac at our home" /"
Tanlac is sold in, Okolona by
W. E. Bearden. and by leading
druggists everywhere.
