Tanlac Builds
as He Would Erect a House
"Tanlac gets home to the seat ot
the trouble," said Ephraim S. Henemyer of 202 Dewey street, Dayton.
I am a carpenter, and Tanlac has
built up my health just as a contractor must begin building a house always at the bottom, of course. .
"I am a very active man now after
having been slowed down with kidney trouble for five years. I had pains in my back and spots before my eyes and frequent headaches. My circula
tion was very poor and the most of
the time I felt all knocked out.
"If it was not for Tanlac I would probably be no better; for all the
things I tried seemed to make matters worst.
'Henemyer, queried an old friend
ot mine one morning, 'do you know that you can easily get over that kidney trouble if you will get the right
stuf r "What have you in mind?" I asked. " 'Tanlac, he told me. "I had heard of Tanlac before, but the positive tone of my friend's voice made it sink deep this time. "I got the medicine and started on it faithfully and stuck to it, and as a result I am not dragging around with sick kidneys and backache. I can
stoop and straighten up with ease, no spots before my eyes, good appetite, restful sleep. It has helped me from
the ground up.
"My wife is also a Tanlac enthusiast. It has helped her wonderfully, she had
stomach trouble.
Tanlac masters kidneys, liver and stomach trouble and all their kindred Ills. It begins at the bottom of the difficulty the cause. The relief is
rapid.. The vital organs of the body respond quickly to the influence of
this valuable vegetable medicine.
Tanlac Is being personally explained In Richmond at the four Thistlethwalte
drug stores. Adv.
