"You can tell them that Tan- lac has helped my wife, too, and of all the people who have made statements about heing benefited I believe we have the most cause to be thankful," was the stale- ment made hy J. Kuyper, post- master of Cardiff, Alberta, while at the Owl Drug Store in Edmon- ton, recently. "For the past five years." he continued, "my wife has been so crippled up with sciatic rheuma- tism that she could hardly get about and while 1 have spent lols of money for treatment and med- icines if was just like throwing it away, for nothing was the least bit of help to her until she began using Tanlac. Since she sl has been takin this medicine, however, she has been steadil improving all the time. Aside from the fact that most gotten rid of the rheuma- tism, her general health has im- proved wonderfully, and her weight has increased from less than one hundred pounds to one hundred and ten. "Her condition. Tanlac, seemed almost and was very discouraging. She had continual pains across. the small of her hack and her right hip and limb were so stiff and painful she was barely able to get around. She was so weak and was so easily exhausted and would have to lie down three or before taking hopeless four times a day. Her nerves were badly shattered and this, together with her awful pain, made sleep almost impossible for her. Her stomach was also oul of order in some way, for her food seemed to do her no good and in place of gaining strength she was losing all the time. Her appetite was poor and altogether her condition was serious, and re gardiess of the best care and attention she kept getling worse. "After reading so much about Tanlac, and, knowing of the re- sults others in our community had gotten from it, my wife beg: taking it, and gradually improv- ing from the very start. She was in such a had shape that we could not expect complete re- covery without time and patient use of the medicine. So she hays it certainly has paid well, for the results have been nothing less than wonderful. She has take twelve bottles now, eats three hearty meals every day, sleeps eight hours or more every night, and says she hardly feels the rheumatism any more. her entire up and she is now about as strong as she ever was.
