AFTER 22 YEARS’
SUFFERING HER
TROUBLES ENDED.1
. ■ ■■
Mrs. Owenby Ganed 12 Pounds On
Tanlac and Her Health Has Been
Entirely Resiorcd, 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-1
nessee, woman, living at 121 Vinej
street, recently.
“Yes, sir, for twenty-two long
years I never knew what it was to j
be able to eat what I wanted without1
terrile suffering afterward,” she j
continued. “I suffered with pains be- >
tween my shoulders and my stomach j
just felt like there was a hot brick
in it. It would get all bloated up ;
from gas that formed, and I would j
choke and smother so I could hardly j
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.
I
_
’ by local applications, as they cannot
! reach the diseased portion of the ear.
j There is only one way to cure ca
! tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inflamed
1 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
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-!
suit. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and thi3 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. Hull’s Catarrh Medi
cine acta 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.
