FACTS ABOUT TANLAC ARE GIVEN TO PUBLIC “Tt is a demonstrated fact in medical — science that the stomach is the start- ing point of most of the ills that af- flict the human body, and many of the * so-called diseases are not diseases at all, but reflex symptoms of the stomach derangements of the weakened condi- tion of the body that naturally follows. Some kinds of rheumatism, gastri ja, palpitation, nervousness, kidney disdr- ders and liver complaints are amoas the more common troubles developed through the stomach. Scores ofvother ., diseases have been traced to the sam? source. “Tanijac was made especia)ly to over- come these stomach complaints and the various so-called diseases and symp- toms that follow them, but the asten- shing reconstructive powers revealed ™ by it have not only astonished the gen- eral pyblic, but have somewhat sur- prised eyen the originators of the med- sine themse'ves. Thousands of letters reach the Tanlac offices from all parts of North America telling of remarkablo results derived=by people who have suf- ‘ered for years without being able here- ~ ofore to find relief. “Naturally, these remarkable achieve- ‘nents have spread the fame of Taniac to all quarters of the continent, and the demand for it has necessitated working the laboratories night and day. “The tremendous popularity of Tan- lac grows steadily instead of diminish ing and ean be explained in only one way—merit. Its remarkable restor?- tive effects seem to be more perma- nent than hitherto believed possible. Thousands of persons who took it wher it was first introduced five years ago report that they are still enjoying ex- cellent health, and millions of Amer.” ican homes are now using Tanlac as the family medicine after having first tried it out thoroughly.” Tanlac is sold in Casper by Caspir Pharmacy, in Alcova by Alcova Mer fcantile Co., in Salt Creek by Sait Crenic irug. store.—Ady.
