'I KNOW NOW WHY PEOPLE PRAISE IT' St. Paul Woman After Suffer ing 32 Years Gains 14 Lbs. by Taking Tanlac "I have taken only two bottles of Tanlac but they have entirely stopped my thirty-two years of suffering and almost made a new Woman out of me," said Mrs. Julius Hoanhause, of 469 Clinton Ave St. Paul, Minn., recently. "For thirty-two years I suffered from stomach trouble and chronic indigestion," she continued, "and at times even the pressure of my clothes against my stomach would hurt me. I had to be very careful about what I ate and even then it was hard for me to retain anything on my stomach and some times I ft? Any Yank was so nauseated I -would have to give up and go to bed before I could get relief. I suffered no end of mis ery from gas, and many and many a night I slept hardly a wink because of the pains in my stomach. For months at a time I was oft* in weight as much as ten pounds and if I gained it back I didn't gain in strength but felt as weak and draggy as ever, if not more so. I spent hun dreds of dollars and used all kinds of medicines but got no relief, and I was beginning to think I would have to go on through life and never get rid of my old troubles. "But a good friend of mine who knew what I had gone through heard about Tanlac and suggested that I try it, and today I feel thankful to that friend and even more thankful to Tanlac for I can honestly say it Who is back from the army would buy a Phonograph just to play "I Have Got My Captain Working for Me Now." -b^xsn i.

My stomach is in fine condi tion now and no matter what I eat it digests and I don't suffer any more after eating. I'm gaining in weight and strength right along, in fact, I've gained fourteen pounds already and weigh more than I ever did in my life. I sleep fine every night and I've gone back to doing all my house work by myself and I don't feel a bit overtired after I jget through, either. Since I've taken Tanlac and it has helped me so wonderfully I can understand why so many people are coming out and saying it is the finest thing they have ever seen."
