FLORIDA MAN WAS HARDLY ABLE
TO WALK AT TIMES
Benjamin Hasn't Trace of Rheuma
tism Since Taking Tanlac
“This is the medicine that relieved
my rheumatism and built me up to
where I can now work as well as I
ever could, and I don’t intend to be
without it,” said John Benjamin. R. F.
D. No. 2. Jacksonville. Fla., as he pur
chased a bottle of Tanlac at Williams
Pharmacy a few days ago.
“About two years ago I began hav-j
ing rheumatism, my knees and ankles
swelled up and I suffered no end of
pain. At that time I was working on
the river. loading and unloading barg
es. and often when night came I could
hardly walk to the car line. My left
side from my shoulder down to my
waist finally got in such a bad shape
I could hardly do any work at all, my
legs hurt so bad I could scarcely walk j
and my ankles were swollen to almost
twice their natural size.
“Well. I worried along for quite a
while, trying medicine after medicine,
but nothing helped me until I got
Tanlac. The first bottle helped me.
so I got another and then another,
and kept on taking it until now I feel
like a brand new man.
The pains have disappeared from
my side and shoulder, my knees and
ankles have gotten all right and in
fact, I haven’t a trace of rheumatic
pains, and can do as much work as I
ever could. Tanlac certainly pulled
me out of a bad' fix and I am glad to
say a good word for it.”
Tanlac is sold in Ocala by Gerig’s
Drug Store, in Oeklawaha by John T.
Lewis & Sons, and in Mclntosh by L.
T. Hickson Drug Cos. adv.
