JOHN HAHN TELLS HOW
TO OVERCOME SPRING ILLS

For five years, suffered from dir
~ spells that nothing would relieve.
At times they almost blinded me and
L would have TO be led to g chair in
the roundhouse. ] couldn't walk
straight on the street and often when
| bent over to fasten ny shoes in the
morning, l would topple right over on
the floor. My system was just so
loaded down with poison. or whatever
caused this dizziness, that 1 would
have spells as often as once n month,
and tell you, they were terrible.
My friends put me on to Tanlac
year and a half ago, and, sir. my
very first bottle made me feel so mitch
better that i went straight for an
other and then another. Tanlac made
me relish my food, built me up fine
and just worked wonders in relieving
those dizzy spells. l still use Tanlac
occasionally and when it comes to
heading off dizzy spells, Tanlac sure
does it. If any man doubts that Tan
lac is q good tonic. just let him look
up John III. Hahn"
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug
gists. Accept no substitute. Over 40
million bottle sold.

Well Known Missouri Paci-
fic Man Knows From Ex-
perience What Tanlac
Will Do.

The safest and surest way to avoid
that dull, dragging feeling of the body,
sluggish mind. tagging memory, de-
preston of spirits. nervousness, kid
neg and liver disorders, headaches, dir
illness and other distressing troubles so
prevalent in springtime is TO regulate
the appetite and tone up the stomach
and digestive organs, thereby Kidding
the system of the impurities that have
accumulated during the long winter
months.
So mary thousands of people have
testified to the invigorating and health
building properties of Tanlac that its
wonderful merits cannot be doubted.
Further striking evidence of this fact
is given by John II. Hahn, 72S West
McCarty St, Jefferson City, Mo-, WELL
known employee of the Missouri Pacific
Ry.
"Since taking Tanlac, 1 feel like
new man altogether" recently said Mr..
Hahn, land in spite of the fact that
I'm past seventy. I'm putting in eight
