much gas that 1 would belch up my
sour, undigested fooil and fould be
come faint from dizziness. I could
hardly sleep at night for the misery I
was In and in the morning 1 would get
up fooling so awful that I could hard
ly get around.
"Hut Taulac has driven away every
bit of the pain and misery, I never
puffer from indigestion anil can eat
anything I want. My condition has
Improved so wonderfully sliTco 1 start
