I got badly run down and so weak I couldn't look after my housework. "Well, not long ago I began taking Tanlac, and already my improvement is so great it is really a pleasure to tell about it. My appetite is very much better, I never have the pains in my body any more and my joints are in such good condition 1 can get around just like 1 used to years ago. I sleep so well nights, now that I scarcely wake up at all until morning, and the tired and worn out feeling has ' left me entirely. I have already gained several pounds in weight, am still taking Tanlac. and am gaining in weight and strength every day. Tanlac has helped me so much I just can t praise it highly enough.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk's; in Berne at Stengel & Craig's: in Geneva at F. C. Deitsch’s and in Monroe at O.
