To my great wonder it was just what I needed. My stomach was in such a bad condition that everything I ate would come back up, and even water made me sick. I had- fallen off about twenty-five pounds. Since I have been taking Tanlac I have gained thirty-five pouqds and I've only finished three bottles. Everything I eat agrees with me and builds me up. r u 1.4. u uu xl C a I am in better health than for years ancL I owe it all to Tanlac. I wouldn't be without it in my house.
