Bryson, 150 Westwood Place, 1 Asheville. N. C.. for nearly twenty years an engineer on the Southern Railroad, recently had the following . to say regarding his remarkable experience with the Tanlac treatment: 1 “In my opinion Tanlac is the best stomach medicine and tonic money can buy. Five bottles have brought me complete relief from a case of indigestion that had troubled me for ten years. , “I was troubled after eating with heartburn, gas, smothering sensations, pains about my heart, and often could not keep down anything 11 would eat. Most every night I would walk the floor, being too nervous to sleep, and my health had become so wretched that I was sometimes forced to lay off from my work for two weeks at a stretch. To tell the truth, I got in such a bad fix that V made up my mind I hadn't much longer to live. "In my case Tanlac has come up to every good word I ever heard and read about it. Every sign of indigestion has left me. I eat anything 1 want, sleep like a log and am in firstclass condition in every way. I certainly have the best of reasons for praising Tanlac.” Tanlac is for sale by all good drugg'sts. Accept no substitute. Oyer 37 million bottles sold.
