HE CAN PUT IN FULL TIME, NOW

For Nearly Three Years He Was Unable to Do a Day’s Work — Feels Hne Since Taking Tanlac. “My another was even in a worse fix than I was and I can tell you that was pretty bad, but Tanlac has put us both in good shape,’’ said Albert J. Helfert of 2009 Venable street, Richmond, Virginia, while discussing the medicine • recently. Mr. Helfert was born and reared in Richmond where he has followed his trade as brick mason for thirty years. He has helped to build many of the large brick buildings erected in Richmond during the past quarter century. . Mr. Helfert. stands high in bhe Brick Masons Union, is also a leading member of the Richmond Eagles, Lodge No. 1, and is highly respected by all who know him.

“Regardless of exposure to all kinds of weather,’’ explained Mr. Helfert, “I have always enjoyed very good health until three years ago. At that tiim<e I began to have ipains in my back and joints which kept getting worse in spite of all I could do. Well, I found it was rheumatism that had me in its grip and I finally got to where it was agony for me to move. My back and kmees hurt me so bad that I could hardly lift trowel and brick. “I actually dreaded to go on a job, I ached so bad, and had just about decided to give up my work when a friend persuaded me to try Tanlac, saying it had relieved him of the same trouble and put him on his feet in good shape. That very same day I went to the drug store and got a bottle of Tanlac. I had tried all kinds of liniments and medicines without results, butt Tanlac helped me right from the start and by the time I had finished my fourth bottle I was like a new man. I was able to go on the job and do a full day’s work for the first time in nearly three years. At present I am as w’ell as I have ever been in tiny life and I mean to say by that I haven’t an ache or a pain of any kind. “My mother had suffered from rheumatism for a number of years and even worse than I did. She ihad it so bad at times she couldn’t cross the room without holding onto the chairs and bed. When she saw what Tanlac had- done for me she began taking it and today she is getting around as well as if she wasn’t more than twenty years of age. Her friends all seem astonished at her wonderful improvement end she never gets hired of telling about Tanlac. Knowing what I do about Tanlac, since it has done so much for mother and myself I am glad to show my appreciation by giving this statement for the benefit of others who need just such a medicine.”
