When 1 ate or drank anything cold I would suffer for sometime afterward with severe pains in my stomach, and it would al. ways leave me In a very nervous condi- tion. I had heard so much of this Tan- lac that I decided to give it a trial. It has done everything claimed for it, and I can gladly tell anyone of the improve- ment in my condition. I now sleep bet- ter, have ‘a ravenous appetite, and my |nerves are in better shape than they have been in years past. Above all, I can surely enjoy a good -meal.” When men like Mr. Himoe praise & preparation, there should no longer re- main any doubt that the medicine con- taing one thing—merit.
