IT WAS ONE GRAND
SURPRISE SHE SAYS
"I Gained Twelve Pounds On
Two Bottles Of Tanlac"
Says Miss Bohne.
"I have gained twelve pounds
on two bottles of Tanlac and
feel every bit of five years
younger," said Miss Navonie
H. Bohne, cashier at Rouse's
Drug Store, and residing at
1514 Everett St., Houston, Tex.
the other day.
"I was in a very much run-
down condition," she explained,
"from stomach disturbances
and most everything I would
eat gave me trouble. My food
would sour on my stomach and
form gas that made me miser-
able for hours. My nerves were
all on edge so I got little rest at
night, and when morning came
I was most as tired as I was
when I went to bed. I had ter-
rible headaches most all the
time and felt so wretched and
no account I hardly had any life
or energy left to do anything.
"I heard so many people
telling about the good that Tan-
lac iiad done them that I decid-
ed to try it. The way it took
hold of my troubles was one
grand surprise and I hardly
know how to begin telling of the
benefits I have derived from
using it. I can say though that
it has made a new person out
of me, and as soon as I get home
from work instead of moping
around like I did I now have a
grand time romping with the
kiddies just like I was a child
too. My complexion has clear-
ed up wonderfully, I have no
trouble with my digestion and I
sleep like a baby. Tanlac has
been a fine thing for me and I
certainly am glad to recommend
it from my own experience with
it."
"Tanlac is sold in Mexia by
Mexia Drug Co., in Thornton
by A. P. Ellis; in Coolidge by
Coolidge Drug Co.; in Kosse by
Munroe Brothers; in Tehuacana
by College Drug Store; in Far-
rar by J. M. Kennedy; in Ben
