• I FEEL STRONGER AND BETTER
EVERY DAY SINCE TAKING
TANLAC’’ SHE SAYS—GAINED
I WE.NTY-THREE POI NDS.
I “1 have changed from a run-down
[nervous wreck into a strong, healthy
woman and have gained twenty-three
’pounds in weight besides, since I be
-1 gan taking Tanlac,” said Mrs. G. R.
[Burgin, of 211 Second street, Bir
[mingharn, Ala., some time ago.
"For three whole years I suffered
; torture from stomach trouble and dis
|ordered kidneys,” she continued, “and
f had about given up hope of being
\vell any more, for nearly every medi
'cine I could hear of, I tried and noth
ing helped me. It seemed like every
thing I ate disagreed with me and I
: fell off until I was almost a shadow.
[I was so weak I couldn lift a scut-:
[tie of coal to put on the fire and seem- i
ied to get weaker al the time, until I
, was almost helpless.
I "If anyone had told me that there
was a-wredrctTie that would have done >
[jfor me what anlac has, I couldn’t have |
believed them, before I took it! I be
.gun to improve from the very begin-'
, ig and my father says that he nev
’er saw such a change in anyone. Ev
'erything I eat nourishes me and
builds me up and I have gone up from
(‘ighty pound.- to one hundred and
three, a clear gain of twenty-three
pounds. I f'-td stronger and better
every day since taking Tanlac.”
