TRAINED NURSE OUT WITH FACTS Was On Verge of Nervoita Prostration Gains Ten Poupids and Troubles End. One of the most interesting of the many recent statements regarding Tanlac was made by Mrs. Irabella Rowe of 1617 West Walnut St., Des Moines, Iowa, in an interview, recent ly- Mrs. Rowe, who is a trained nurse of^wirle experience in relieving suffer ing and well known to the people of Des Moines, is only one of the great many in her profession, who after having realized its remarkable powers, have become ardent champions of the Master Medicine. When asked if she was willing for her statement to be published, Mrs. Rowe said: "Yes, indeed, for I firmly believe Tanlac has saved me from nervous prostration and I am plad to make a statement which may be of benefit to the vast numbers who are in need of such a medicine. "1 had suffered from stomach and liver trouble, disordered kidneys and extreme nervousness for a year or more. My food would not digest prop erly and I not only suffered intense pain in my stomach after eating, but my heart would palpitate so from the pressure of gas that I could scarcely breathe, In fact, my whole body was full of pain and the small of my back, especially, hurt me so at times I felt like I would go distracted. I had lost a great deal in weight and even my friends were^talking about how weak and run doWn I looked. "I had tried many other medicines before getting Tanlac, but nothing gave me more than little passing re lief. My entire system seemed to be broken down. I could not get but lit tle sleep or rest and was right on the verge of nervous prestation. I be lieve I would have had to give up en tirely in a short time if I had not gotten Tanlac. But now I am like a different woman altogether. I can eat just anything I want and every thing seems to agree with me perfect ly as I never have any more pain, pal pitation or any other symptoms of in digestion. In fact, all my pain as well as the nervousness and that weak, worn-out feeling, is gone and I have aiso gained ten pounds in weight. Be fore taking Tanlac I could not hold out to walk a block, but the other day I got out and walked fifty-nine blocks, and felt none the worse from it. I have never known a medicine accom plishing such wonderful results as Tanlac. I don't believe there's an other like it and it gives me pleasure to recommend it."
