CONVINCED OF TANLAC BY AID GIVEN WIFE HUSBAND SAYS SHE ADDED FIF TEEN POUNDS ON FOUR BOTTLES. I)<>VRLE ENIK)RSEMEXT. Knew Tanbie Would Help Him Greatly When Ho Began It, And He Tells Retails. Cases in which two or more people in the same family have been so greatly benefited by Tanlac that they have offered a double endorsement of this famous 'Master Medicine are common. When you see a person re lieved of suffering and made strong again, it ls tho most natural thing In the world for you to want the same benefits. This is how Charles E. Whitmore, of 1 OB Bradford street, Albany, X. Y., happened to take Tanlac. "My wife, who had been all run down and nervous and getting weak er rix it along, began to take Tanlac," Mr. Whitmore explained. "Well, of course. I watched tho results, and lt was wonderful to see the way it built her up. On four bottles she gained fifteen pounds. I had been doubtful about Tanlac, but that settled me. When 1 started Tanlac I could hardly cat ono good meal in a whole weak. From suffering with a had stomach I had become nervous and restless at night and all run-down. Instead of digesting, my food would just Ile like load on my stomach and sour and ferment and form gas. Because 1 had sour stomach-acid stomach so long, my mouth had gotten sore. I could not sleep restfully, but would wake up every hour or two and would roll and toss. I was tired in the morning, and by mid-afternoon I was so tired out lt seemed I couldn't get through tho day. I had lost all am bition, and I did not care. Seeing what Tanlac had done for my wife encouraged mo to take it, and I was not surprised when it began to brace nie up right away. It did as much for me as it did for her. I slept right through the night, woke np rested, with a good appetite, and was able to enjoy my meals. My food digest ed, and tho gas, bloating and sour stomach disappeared. I felt like a new man, and the old, tired, worn-out feeling went with the rest of my troubles." When Mr. Whitmore's stomach be came weak, lils system probably bo gan to clog with waste matter. What lie needed was a good system purifier, stomach tonic and reconstructive, and Tanlac did tho work for him and ho saw lt do for his wife, and as lt has dono for countless thousands. Tanlac, tho master medicine, is sold exclusively by Bell's Drug Store, Walhalla; J. C. Cain.
