least little excitement would completely
upset my nerves. I could not sleep sound
ly at niKht, was Irritable and my stom
ach troubled me a great deal. When
ate or drank anything cold I would suffer
for sometime afterward with severe
pains in my stomach, and It would at
ways leave me In a very nervous condl
tion. I had heard so much of this Tan-
lao that I decided to give it a trial. It
has done everything claimed for It and
I can gladly tell anyone of the Improve
ment In my condition. I now sleep bet
ter, have -a ravenous appetite, and my
nerves are In better shape, than they have
been in years past Above all, I can
