TOOK GOOD ADVICE, "II Is Just Wonderlul," Says Starr Woman, Telling How Sbe Combatted Troubles. After suffering twelve years, the last several months of which were so severe that she believed herself on the verge of the grave, Mrs Ella Evans of Starr, S C, Route 4, found great and almost complete relief in the first bottle of Tanlac she took. "it orl olniAcf liL'o o mironln it ctv^ui^u iiunwv iu\V/ u? iiiuaviv the way Tanlac worked," she said. Mrs Evans was interviewed at the home of her son-in-law, C C Crocker, of 11 Prince street, Anderson. Her statement follows: '* I suffered very badly from stomach trouble for twelve years before I began taking Tanlac, and it seemed that no medicine would break up my trouble. Frequently I would have terrible spells, and my heart, stomach and nerves would get out of order at once and I would nearly die with these attacks. I had lost hope and I did not believe I would ever get well. Also I had a very bad bowel trouble with these attacks. My nerves were in a terrible fix and mv heart fluttered a great (leal. t "I could not sleep well, and I was so weak I could hardly walk. Though I had the best of medical attention, I got no-better. I live in the country, but when I came here to visit relatives I did not know that I would live to get back home. My relatives here persuaded me to take Tanlac and I consented. I have just finished my first hottle. I am a great deal stronger now in every way and I have not had one # of those attacks since I began taking Tanlac. My nerves are much stronger, and my stomach, liver, bowels and heart have been strengthened and regulated. I have a good appetite now, also. t "The yery first dose of Tanlac I ?? nl\<% v,K. n n/1 imjuyill <l uiuuiyc IUI LIIC IA ULI aim it seemed like a miracle the way Tanlac worked. I stopped all other treatment when I began Tanlac. In every way Tanlac has made my health better and I believe I am on the road to complete recovery. It is just wonderful."
