! AFTER 22 YEARS’
SUFFERING HER
TROUBLES ENDED.
Mrs. Owenby Ganed 12 Pounds On
Tanlac and Her Health Has Been
Entirely Restored, She Declares...
“Ever since I was eleven years old
until after I started taking Tanlac,
recently, I’ve suffered misery -with
my Stomach,” said Mrs. Kate Owen
by, a well-known Chattanooga, Ten
nessee, woman, living at 121 Vine
street, recently.
“Yes, sir, for twenty-two long
years I never knew what it was to
be able to eat what I wanted without
terrile suffering afterward,” she j
continued. “I suffered with pains be
tween my shoulders and my stomach
just felt like there was a hot brick
in it. It would get all bloated up
from gas that formed, and I would
choke and smother so I could hardly
get my breath. I was so nervous that
often I couldn’t lay in bed, but would
get up and walk the floor for hours
at the time.
“I had heard so much about the won
derful relief Tanlac was bringing
suffering people that I decided to try
it, and it’s th honest truth, after tak
ing five bottles I haven’t a sign of
trouble. I eat anything I want and
never have any pains or even feel un
comfortable. The nervousness is all
gone, and I sleep sound all night long,
and get up in the morning feeling fine
and full of -energy. I’ve gained twelve
pounds in weight, and my improve
ment is the talk of the neighborhood.
All my friends compliment me on the
way I look now.” Tanlac sold by all
Jackson County Druggists.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
. NOT BE CURED.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
j entirely closed, Deafness is the re
: suit. Unless the inflammation can
' be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu
. cous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medi
! cine acts through the blood on the
: mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
Druggists, 75c.
