Mrs. Vesta Roberts, who resides at €091, Market street, Burlington, ¥owa., while discussing Tanlac, which has been so beneficial to her said: ’ “1 have improved so much during the past few weeks that my friends are asking me the cause and when I tell them I am taking Tanlac they seem to understand all the rest. “3 had been in a run down condi- tion, nervous, weak and dizzy for more than a year. [ was actually so nervous that the least noise would startle me and I could hardly sleep at all. T would lie awake night af- ter night and often felt so weak and dizzy on getting up in the morning X could not walk. I had no appetite and my stomach was so upset and out of order that I could not eat any- thing scarcely and what I did eat dis- agreed with me. My misery was al- most unbearable at times and as none of the medicines I had tried did me any good I had began to think there was no help for me. “*But Tanlac has been a wonderful thing for me and I will always feel grateful to the good people who told me about it in the papers. I began improving with my first few doses and soon felt my nervousness and dizziness disappearing. Then my ap- petite returned and my stomach got im shape to where I could eat and di- gest just anything. I have taken four bettles cf Tanlac now and must say #it Gs perfectly grand. Why, it nas m=ie me feel like a different woman. ¥ can lie down at night and sleep just 1ike a child, never waking one time until morning. I just feel fine in every way and I will always praise Tanlac. It certainly has been a hie=ssing to me.” K "Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Bterling, in Blackduck by ¥French & Moon, and in Baudette by J. ‘Williams.
