The muscles of my legs just seemed to be tied in knots and my arms were so stilt and painful 1 couldn't raise my hands above my head.

Finally 1 got down flat on my back in bed, where I lay for three months, just suffering agonies. when 1 got up out of bed, I just hobbled around on a cane, and was in a most deplorable condition. "But, sir, its a iact, I hadn't taken Tanlac more than ten days before I threw my walking stick away and haven needed it since. Tanlac has driven every pain out of my body and fixed me up in tine shape. I am as active and supple as I ever was In my life, and have been built up to where I am like a brand new man.

I don't believe there is a medicine in the world that can hold a light to Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Harrisburg by Gorgas Drug Stores and the leading druggists. Adv.
