"('entlenien: Your medicine known
as 'Tanlac,' has been such an inestim
able blessing to mo. that I feel con
strained to writo and tell you so. In
October, 11118, while a minister of
the Wood Street Congregational
church, Cardff, South Wales, I had a
severe attack c'f tho Spanish influen
za, from the effects of which I never
fully recovered. 1 lost twenty-eight
pounds In weight and was unable to
recover my usual energy.
"Then, in February, 11111), I be
came the minister of the Queen's
Koad Congregational church at St.
John's, Newfoundland. My ministry
was attandod with great success, but
the strain proved too great for me
and 1 had a serious breakdown. My
nerves seemed to go all to pieces and
my digestion became so deranged

My heart gave me a lot of trouble;
it was an effort to walk upstairs and
at night 1 used to lie awake in con
tinual dread lest my heart should
stop beating altogether.
"Then, as a result or exposure one
winter's night in a small beat, while
in the execution of my duties, I was
seized with violent pains in the richt
shoulder and arm. which nearly drove
nic to distraction. I consulted doc
tors and specialists and underwent
massage anil electrical treatment,
without getting much relief. I was
ordered to give up all preaching and
punuc work lor at least threo mouths,
and I began to fear that my health
was permanently affected.

I read the statement of a man whose
symptoms seemed to be identical with
my own, and his praise of Tanlac
rang so true 1 decided to give it a
trial myself. I bought a bottle and
its effect was almost immediate. My
nervous condition began to disappear
and I began ti.' get sleep at night. My
appetite so increased that I could
scarcely satisfy it. and I found my
self putting on weight rapidly. By
