"My troubles began about three years ago," continued Mr. Xeisz. "and I have been having a tough time of it ever since that is, until I Commenced tak ing Tanlac. I had rheumatism in my arms and back, and I suffered almost constantly during all that time. Of course there were times when this trouble was worse than at others, but I can truthfully say that there was hardly ever a time when I was not conscious of pain to some extent. My arms were so stiff and sore at times that I couldn't raise 'my hands to my head. Besides what I spent for treatment and medicine, the time I lost from my work on account of this rheumatism amount ed to over J400 in salary. I couldn't sleep much, and just gradually went down hill until I had lost in weight from 135 to 110 pounds, and was so weak and run down that I could hardly get about at all. "A friend of mine who had been suf fering from this same kind of trouble, told me that Tanlac was the only thing that had ever done him any good, and advised me to give it a trial. Well, to make a long story short, I have Just finished my sixth bottle of Tanlac, and I am as free from suffering in every way, and am as well and strong as I ever was in my life. I weigh 135 pounds now. which means that I have gotten back all I lost in weight. I have regained all my strength and can do as much work as I could fifteen years ago. All that soreness and stiff ness has gone from my arms and I can raise my hands above my head with out the least trouble. Yes. sir, Tanlac has been a godsend to me, and I never lose an opportunity to recommend it to others. I am buying another bottle to take home with me today, for I never expect to be without it."
