Oregon STAGE DRIVER TELLS OE HIS EXPERIENCE Can't Help Praising Tanlac After It Ended His Seven Years of Stomach Trouble, Declares Nudel-man. PHONE YOUR WANT ADS TO THE. OREGONIAN "A man Just can't hardly help prais ing the medicine that restores him to health after suffering as long and as hard as I have," said M. Nudelman of 441 Ross street, Portland, Or., while telling1 of the remarkable benefits he had received from a few bottles of Tanlac. Mr. Nudelman Is well known In Portland, having lived there for twenty years, and operates an auto stage out of Portland to Vancouver, B. C. For the past six or seven years I have suffered terribly from a severe case of stomach trouble, and my ap petite dwindled away to almost noth ing. I had to be very careful of what ate as anything that had the least little acid in it would put my stomach in an awful conditibn. In fact nearly everything upset me, and the cas and pains in my stomach would just al most drive roe to distraction. "I suffered a great deal from con stipation, and had awful headaches that worried me dreadfully. I had rheumatism In my legs and feet so bad that I could hardly drive my car, and my hands would get so tired on a long drive that I just had to stop and rest them. I was so nervous that the least little thing would upset me, and my condition was simply miserable. "I kept hearing so much good about Tanlac that I decided to see whether it. would help me any, and began tak ing it. Well, sir, it proved to be the very thing I was needing, for I gained eleven pounds on the first two bottles, and since taking four bottles I'm in the best of health again. "My appetite is fine, and I can eat just anything- I want now without my stomach troubling ma any at all. I'm no longer worried with constipation and headaches, and tho rheumatism has entirely disappeared. 1 don't hesi tate to 'recommend Tanlac since it's put me in such fine condition, and my wife ha3 also taken the medicine with splendid results." Tanlar Is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. Motorman Not Losing Any Time "I don't think anyone ever buf fered more from stomach trouble and bloating than I have. I had to lay off my run more than half the time and could get no help from prescrip tions or medicine. One of my friends advised using Mayr's Wonderful Rem edy, which I found to be the greatest remedy ever put on the earth. I have not lost a day since taking it. It is worth its weight in gold."
