HOUSE HM YEM
HAMILTON TELLS OF HIS WIFE'S
REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENT
SINCE TAKING TANLAC
"Last Sunday my wife was aide to
W oat of the boose for the first time
in almost a year, and she wouldn't
have been out then if Tanlac had not
jnit her on her feet” is the remark
able testimony of William Hamilton
who resides :«t 145* Preston St.. Halifax.
Nova Scotia. Canada.
"Mr* Hamilton had Spanish Influ
enza over a year ago." he continued,
“and had never b^en able to overcome
the effects of It. Her appetite was
gone completely and she fell off in
weight and strength until she was as
frail and thin as anybody could t*e and
still get around Her nerve* were all
torn up and the least little noise would
make her jump and quiver like a leaf. !
Many a night she has lain awake un- !
til daylijht in nervous misery. She
complained of dull throbbing headaches <
and it has made me actually stifffc at I
times to see her so weak and run down !
and in so much pain. Romebhdy else!
had to attend to all the housework a~ ;
she could just barely creep about the ■
house and hadn't been able to go out
of-doors for nearly twelve months ;
She was confined to the bed most of ,
the time, and even when she would get
up in her room for a while, she really '
ought to have been in bed.
"It sure was a surprise to me to *e- :
her build up the way she did since she j
started taking Tanlac. Her appetite,
is just fine now. why. she told me the |
other day that if she kept on. she !
Would eat ils out of house and home, j
Every day she seems stronger and
more like her old self and she never .j
complains of being tired and weak and
[ run down anymore. Last Sunday she
went out for a long walk with me. for
! the first time she's been out of the
house in nearly a year. She seems
like a different person and is begin
ning to feel that her troubles ?re a!!
over. Tanlac is the only thing that
ever did her any good .and we both
arc happy ah we can be over the way
she has recovered her health since she
has been hiking It and we are glad to
recommend it all the time."
