Recently in tolling of the ronmrlmble benefit? she has derived from the medicine Mra. Annes Karsen, residing nt 11148 South O street, Tacomn, Washing ton, said: The way Tanlac has relieved me of my suffering and built me up Iu nothing short of wonderful. Why, 1 don't only feel llk a new woman, but 1 have actually pained fourteen pounds in weights besides. I was in an awrully weak, run-down condi tion for two years and so nervous that tho leant little thing out of thf 'ordinary would uP't uie. I suffer ed all the time with a pain across my kidneys, which was so had at times, my back felt like It would break. 1 was very restless at nli;ht, up and down at all hours, unable to sleep. 1 also suffered a great deal with dizziness and fnlut feelings, and was ho weak thr.i 1 could not get through with my housework without stopping several times to rest. '"One day I was telling a friend .of mine how 1 felt, an 1 she advised nic to try Tanlac. Ho I got a bottle and that was one. of the hest things 1 ever did. My husband, who was suffering u great deal with indiges tion and gas on his stomach commenced taking It the same time I did and between uh we took eight bottles, an da:o in good condi tion. His stomach is iu such a good condition that ho eats Just ny-j thing and it all agrees with hlin j fino. And as for me, It lias built me up until 1 feel altogether different. My nerves are bo much stronger and ! hotter that 1 can sleep all night long, j and my nppet tie Is just fine. 1 no j longer have those weak, di.zy a pel la i a d the pain has left my buck en-i lively.
